Hi. I'm new to kannel so I need some help with this.

I'm trying to connect to a SMSC and the operator's
people gave me 3 system types, a host/port to connect
to, and a user (system ID) and a password:

system type 1: AB_a_1111 (for MO transactions with
charge to the mobile client)
system type 2: AB_b_1111 (for MT transactions with
charge to the mobile client)
system type 3: AB_c_1111 (for MO transactions, free to
the mobile client)
server/port:   xx.xx.xx.xx/15008
user/password: yyyy/zzzz

where 1111 is the short number associated to this
service.

So, my questions are:

1.- Should I configure 3 different smsc (smpp) groups
in my kannel.conf file (one for each system type)?

yes. Your operator splits the logical function into 3 SMPP accounts for you, so you need to connect to all 3 with a single smsc (smpp) group each.

2,- According to the docs, in these smsc groups I can
configure a port and a receive-port. Is in both cases
the value 15008? So, is kannel just a smpp client and
the operator is never going to connect to my bearerbox
machine for MO transactions ?

the receive-port defines with port is used for RX session. If you want to bind as transmitter and receiver for each account use the same port there.

Right, the operator will not initiate connections. Kannel connects via RX session on it's own and MO messags are flowing over these.

I'm using cvs kannel 1.4.

use cvs head, it's a 1.4.1RC and more reliable then 1.4.0.
