Hey Aarno,
Thank you for your help. When I have this all up and running I will write a short doc to explain what I have learnt to complete novices like me :) Hopefully this will be of some help.
Regards,
Gareth

MMS happens like this:
a) phone uploads a mm to mmsc, using normal wap gateway b) mmsc notifies receiver using wap push (and eventually sms). c) The receiver fetches url it got from mmsc.
Only b) happens over serial port, if you have modem.

Hi,
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.
What about recieving MMS? Should the data come over the serial port and then go to the wapbox? For me this is not happening.
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
Great. Now when I get a request at the gateway can I decide that I don't want to handle it? In that case will it fall back to the secondary proxy? If I am going to change config at a users phone I would like to make sure their normal services are uneffected.
Cheers,
Gareth
