Hi,
I am new to Kannel and am trying to set it up to send and receive SMSs. I
am having some problems and would really appreciate any help I can get.
I am running on Ubuntu 7.10 with Kannel 1.4.1 loaded via apt-get. I have
also modified the /etc/default/kannel file to start the smsbox instead of
the wapbox.
Kannel comes up just fine and I can use the http interface to obtain a
status of the server but, I am not able to send a message (no receive
attempts have been made to date) and it appears that Kannel has not been
able to connect to the modem yet. I am committed to a modem that I have not
seen in any of the discussions to date. It is a Multitech MTCBA-G-EN-F4
quad-band GPRS modem. This modem is an ethernet modem and plugs directly
into my router. I have been able to connect to the modem and send an SMS
via MicroSoft Hyper Terminal. This worked well so I feel confident that I
have the IP address and port to communicate with the modem correct. I did
have to go in and turn off PPP in the modem configuration in order to send
via Hyper Terminal. I am not very familiar with all of the terms and
protocols in the cell / modem / SMS world yet so I do not understand the
implications of turning off PPP and do not know if this is affecting Kannel
in some way.
I have set my config file up (I hope) to handle a raw tcp connection. I did
note that the manual says the driver has never been tested in telnet mode.
I'm not quite sure what that implies. I believe the connection via MS Hyper
Terminal is telnet. For the modems sections of the config file I have
simply included the modems.conf file that was installed with Kannel. I am
not sure just which parameters need to set in a modem config so, I have
hoped that the default would work. However, it appears that it does not.
The SMSC connections section of the status only ever show "connecting".
Does anyone understand what would be needed to make this modem work? Are
their more detailed design docs that show state diagrams and config file
requirements (especially for the modem) to help me figure out just what is
missing from my setup? Thank you for any help.
My config file and other status / responses are below
When I attempt to send an SMS, the http response from Kannel is:
3: Queued for later delivery
When I request a server status I see the following:
