Hi all,
I have been playing with kannel for a few days now and it works great. Thanks to all the developers! I don't seem to have a full understanding of some of the issues and can't find answers on the web.
I have connected up my nokia 6230 over the bluetooth serial interface (anyone who wants to know how to do this - give me a shout) and this works great for SMS. Where my understanding falls down is with GPRS and MMS. I understand that kannel does not support MMS per say and also have mbuni running (after some changes to make it work with the current cvs, again give me a shout if you want these). The problem I have is that nothing ever gets to the wapbox. The MMS arrives on the phone but never goes over the serial interface. I read at
http://www.ihub.com/GSM%20Modems.htm
that you can't use a WAP push / MMS capable phone as a GSM modem as it intercepts the data and does not transfer it down the serial link. Is this the case?
You can send MMS notifications (over WAP Push) using a phone as a modem, for sure. Same thing applies to wap push proper
(si and sl), of course. But there are no at commands to support mms, as far as I know, as there are ones to support sms.
The second thing I don't understand is how data gets to the WAP gateway when its not via a GSM modem. I want to serve content from my box. Can I set up a phone so that it uses my gateway / do I have to do any setup? I have the appropriate ports open etc. I have read other messages describing this but I am still missing something. In my GPRS configuration in the phone I have:
Homepage,
this is the page you want to fetch
Proxies - what are these for? Should I set the proxy to the IP of my WAP gateway?
yep
Bearer Settings GPRS access point - Should this the the IP of my WAP gateway? user name password authentication type
No this the node (GGSN, operated by telco) that connects wireless network to internet
Your telco provides it. But it you want to use your own wap gateway, csd is
preferable (because telcos most probably will block other wap gateways).
