Hi Nikos,
Thanks for your explanation. Sounds logic J So how do I connect the bearerboxes? Just by defining an smsbox for every bearerbox I use on every Kannel installation? Documentation of Kannel is not very clear about how the system connect and communicate L Regards, -- Toni Van Remortel System Engineer @ Precision Operations NV +32 3 451 92 20 - [email protected] From:Nikos Balkanas [mailto:[email protected]] Sent:Monday, May 11, 2009 5:50 PM To:Toni Van Remortel; [email protected] Subject:Re: Distributed setup: what's the best solution? Hi, To work in your distributed environment, you need to have a connection between your China & Belgium setups at the bearerbox level. Bearerbox is doing all SMSc routing, and doesn't understand sms-service. HTTP relaying is used for just what you do: To explicitly push SMSs through the relay at the sms-service level. That is probaply not what you need. Since SMSC_1 is down, you will never receive SMS from it, to use the relay. And even if you did, that would mean that SMSC_1 is active, therefore no need to relay. I am afraid you approach the whole thing in the wrong way. For a redundant setup, you should have redundant links to both your SMScs in each of your installations. Then with with SMSc directives "accepted-smsc" and "preferred-smsc" you can redirect your traffic from your queue, whenever one smsc becomes inactive.

Hi all, I'm testing Kannel with this setup: - Bearerbox + smsbox + SMSC linked to a local modem = SMSC_1 (location: Belgium) - Bearerbox + smsbox + SMSC linked to a local modem = SMSC_2 (location: China) When I only use the preferred-prefix options for the SMSC's, it is working very nice: SMS'es for China are sent through SMSC_2, others through SMSC_1. But: - When the SMSC_2 is down, the messages are in an infinite queue to be delivered, instead of being re-routed to SMSC_1 and sent. - When using explicit SMSC id's, the preferred-prefix setup doesn't work anymore and all SMS'es are sent through SMSC_1. Is there a way to have Kannel to reroute SMS'es to SMSC_1 if SMSC_2 is down? Thanks. -- Toni Van Remortel System Engineer @ Precision Operations NV +32 3 451 92 20 - [email protected]
