routing or load balancing sms-service
Hi all, I want to know if it it possible to load balance like this or if you have a better idea please post. group = sms-service keyword = default allowed-receiver-prefix = "+5978957000;8957000;5978957000;+59708957000;59708957000;08957000" exec = "/usr/bin/perl /home/lott/lott.pl %p '%a'" max-messages=2 #catch-all = true accepted-smsc=lott group = sms-service keyword = default allowed-receiver-prefix = "+5978957000;8957000;5978957000;+59708957000;59708957000;08957000" exec = "/usr/bin/perl /home/lott/lott.pl %p '%a'" max-messages=2 #catch-all = true accepted-smsc=lott Will this work??

smpp bind transmitter only
Hi all, I have a transmitter only smsc. the bearerbox constantly gives me an error cannot connect (because it also tries to connect as receiver). Is it possible to change this in the configuration? I found an old thread about this: Binding as a transmitter only Ronan Derby Mon, 14 Jan 2002 08:31:08 -0800 Does anyone have any follow up on this? Dave
Aliases
Hi all, I have been trying to get this to work, but wondering if what I think this should do is correct. group = sms-service keyword = n aliases = no;nee;niet;uit;out;geen;N This means if someone sends the letter n, this service is started. I thought it also meant that if someone sends no or nee this service is also started, but this isn't working like that. What's wrong here? If someone sends the capital letter N, this service should also be started. Dave
Error in submit_sm response
Hi all, Sorry for my last post, forgot to change the subject. It was; I'm receiving this error; 2008-11-06 08:21:04 [4130] [6] ERROR: SMPP[]: SMSC returned error code 0x0008 (System Error) in response to submit_sm. I know it's something wrong on the smsc's side, but they can't seem to fix this. When I make the connection everything is ok, but after a while (sometimes one or two days) I get this error. They restart something and then I should restart kannel and sometimes it's fine again. Can anyone point the problem so I can solve this error ones and for all eventhough it's not one my side. and I forgot to mention: I have been talking to them for more then a week now on daily basis, thay can't find the problem. They told me it was a problem on their side because others also face the same problem. one idea I got was: in case you dont set deferred , try to set it to -1 and see what happens Has this helped anyone? thanks in advance, Dave

Memory optimization
Hi all, How much memory does kannel use when receiving approx. 70 msg/min. ? Is there a way to increase the use of memory (is it needed to do this) ? Will increasing memory result in faster handling of receiving/sending messages? I know most of the sending / receiving speed depends on the smsc, but just wonderung if I can do anything on my side. Dave
Http post smsc
Hi all, Is there any way to receive mo from a http post smsc? Things in place: 1. smsc sends messages to my public ip with a specified port like ( 123.123.123.123:9876) 2. kannel cvs version installed cvs-20080724 But still not receiving, I get an error like: 2008-08-17 11:10:18 [8199] [2] DEBUG: HTTP: Creating HTTPClient for `987.987.987.987'. 2008-08-17 11:10:18 [8199] [2] DEBUG: HTTP: Created HTTPClient area 0x9a48430. 2008-08-17 11:10:18 [8199] [6] DEBUG: HTTP[smsc]: Got request `/' 2008-08-17 11:10:18 [8199] [6] DEBUG: HTTP[smsc]: Received an HTTP request 2008-08-17 11:10:18 [8199] [6] ERROR: HTTP[smsc]: Authorization failure 2008-08-17 11:10:18 [8199] [6] DEBUG: HTTP[smsc]: Sending reply 2008-08-17 11:10:18 [8199] [6] DEBUG: HTTP: Resetting HTTPClient for `987.987.987'. 2008-08-17 11:10:18 [8199] [6] DEBUG: HTTP[smsc]: Destroying client information They are sending the sms through http post and it's form encoded (application/x-www-form-encoded).

Http connection to smsc
Hi all, I already posted a question on this problem and got 1 answer, but this is still not working. Scenario: I just got a http (xml) connection from the smsc, saying they will send all incoming sms to my application for me. my conf: group = smsc type = http system-type = generic smsc-id = abc port = smsc-username = username smsc-password = password status-succes-regex = "ok" status-permfail-regex = "failure" status-tempfail-regex = "retry later" Questions: What ip and port can/should I give them for this to work? Is my conf correct or am I missing things? Dave
http or xml connection to smsc

php-admin
Hi all, Can anyone give me the steps to use the php-admin? I have tried copying all the files in the contrib folder, made the changes in the conf file accordingly,I can load the page but after that nothing works. the links work, but no information of my kannel is displayed and using sendsms.php just returns to the page not sending anything. I think it has something to do with either the part /cgi-bin (I don't understand this) or it has to do with the apache settings (what should I look for? Help would be appreciated. Dave
Kannel installation on x64 with dlr support
Hi all, I wonder what the steps are to install Kannel on an x64 platform (fedora core 8) with dlr support. I have installed kannel many times before on other machines, but could never get the dlr (with mysql) to work. When compiling (--with-mysql) I don't receive any errors. But when running I don't receive any errors in my logs, but both the bearerbox and the smsbox stop running. Thanks for your advice in advance, Dave
Connect with smsc receive other's esme's messages
Hey guys, First I had a great connection towards the smsc, then sometimes it started disconnecting every two hours. Then they told me we can have a double connection and they started by granting us permission. After some time when I tried connecting I saw another esme's id. Last night I not only saw his id I also received his messages (not even knowing his password I connected to the smsc with his username that is not configured anywhere in my configuration). If I look at my bearerbox, I see that I send my username, password to the smsc and the smsc responds with the others esme username and giving the error 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [16] DEBUG: SMPP PDU 0x8512178 dump: 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [16] DEBUG: type_name: bind_transmitter 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [16] DEBUG: command_id: 2 = 0x0002 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [16] DEBUG: command_status: 0 = 0x 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [16] DEBUG: sequence_number: 1 = 0x0001 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [16] DEBUG: system_id: "my_id" 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [16] DEBUG: password: "my_password" 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [16] DEBUG: system_type: "" 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [16] DEBUG: interface_version: 52 = 0x0034 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [16] DEBUG: addr_ton: 0 = 0x 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [16] DEBUG: addr_npi: 0 = 0x 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [16] DEBUG: address_range: "" 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [16] DEBUG: SMPP PDU dump ends. 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [17] DEBUG: SMPP[lott]: Sending PDU: 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [17] DEBUG: SMPP PDU 0x8512178 dump: 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [17] DEBUG: type_name: bind_receiver 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [17] DEBUG: command_id: 1 = 0x0001 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [17] DEBUG: command_status: 0 = 0x 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [17] DEBUG: sequence_number: 2 = 0x0002 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [17] DEBUG: system_id: "My_id" 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [17] DEBUG: password: "My_password" 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [17] DEBUG: system_type: "" 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [17] DEBUG: interface_version: 52 = 0x0034 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [17] DEBUG: addr_ton: 0 = 0x 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [17] DEBUG: addr_npi: 0 = 0x 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [17] DEBUG: address_range: "" 2008-03-27 15:34:39 [3854] [17] DEBUG: SMPP PDU dump ends. 2008-03-27 15:34:49 [3854] [17] DEBUG: SMPP PDU 0x8512178 dump: 2008-03-27 15:34:49 [3854] [17] DEBUG: type_name: bind_receiver_resp 2008-03-27 15:34:49 [3854] [17] DEBUG: command_id: 2147483649 = 0x8001 2008-03-27 15:34:49 [3854] [17] DEBUG: command_status: 8 = 0x0008 2008-03-27 15:34:49 [3854] [17] DEBUG: sequence_number: 4 = 0x0004 2008-03-27 15:34:49 [3854] [17] DEBUG: system_id: "otheresme's_id" 2008-03-27 15:34:49 [3854] [17] DEBUG: SMPP PDU dump ends. 2008-03-27 15:34:49 [3854] [17] ERROR: SMPP[lott]: SMSC rejected login to receive, code 0x0008 (System Error). 2008-03-27 15:34:49 [3854] [17] ERROR: SMPP[lott]: I/O error or other error.

DLR - storage problem
Hi, I'm trying to work with external dlr. I compiled kannel as explained and used "--with-mysql" and no errors on compiling. And mysql ... enabled. Kannel runs fine if I comment out dlr-storage = mysql and dlr-mask =31. I have the mysql-connection and also the dlr-db group. When I start kannel, nothing happens (according to bearerbox.log). So I cannot see why kannel is started and immediately stopped. Is there a way to troubleshoot this external dlr thing? I know many people asked about this dlr thing, so I just want to troubleshoot. Questions; How can I see if kannel compiled with the dlr storage? Should kannel have user right to use mysql (or is this already used in the mysql-connection group username and password)? Thanks Dave

Some questions
Dear all, I have more then 1 question; 1. Can I have multiple smsboxes for one number to have a sort of load balancing? 2. If I have different smsboxes can I also have different logs for all smsboxes and also different logs for the bearerbox? 3. When I can make multiple connections to the Telecom with more then one server, should I also need a hardware device between my adsl and my servers (something like a router with load balancing support)? Most of my questions are based on load balancing, I don't even know if I generate enough traffic that I need to start load balancing, because I heard Kannel should be able to handle much more sms/sec, but in real life I haven't been able to do this "yet". Dave
Database slows down my application
Dear friends, Now I'm pretty much sure my db is the reason of my slow responses (sometimes up to 2 hours delay), in the end resulting in other errors. The db isn't really big in other terms (only 200mb). But the performance is the issue, how can I change settings for my db or should I change my perl application? Dave
Problem program
Hi all, I'm not sure but can this be the problem? I use a perl script to generate my replies and to store all incoming and outgoing sms in a mysql db. This db has now grown large to 150mb I think. I this the reason my bearerbox keeps receiving sms but not sending them to the smsbox anymore? Because the db acts to slow and doesn't respond fast enough, keeping the script running to long (not sending a response to the smsbox fast enough)? Dave
RE: maximum SMSC kannel support
How many messages can kannel handle at a time? I have been troubleshooting this the past month. In the beginning I didn't have any problems, but now I'm receiving thousands of sms an hour and sometimes the bearerbox keeps receiving, but not sending the sms to the smsbox (so my application doesn't start) until I restart the server it stays like this. Any solutions? I have already checked the throughput on both sides and I haven't been able to use the dlr reports yet, because I have to recompile kannel. Dave
Error starting perl script
My application works fine for more then 6 months now except for one problem occurring at different times. I think the problem starts with one or more flooders. So in the kannel.conf I put two extra's, the retries_freq (3) and the retries_time (120). So after 3 retries is stops sending the sms if the persons still can't receive the sms. This works fine, because many times I have seen in the logs that kannel discards messages to these mobile numbers. But after some time (not always) kannel just continues receiving sms, but smsbox doesn't receive the messages and the perl script isn't executed either. I don't know how to explain it in any other way. Ooh and I have no errors, not in the bearebox log nor in the smsaccess log. Thanks in advance.

Error 0x00000014
From: Dave Jong A Lock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2007 12:10 PM To: 'users@kannel.org' Subject: Error 0x0014 After searching for solutions to my problems I discovered that my case is a little different then those of others. I'm getting the error: SMSCreturned error code 0x0014 (MessageQueue Full) inresponse to submit_sm. After trying the suggestions on most blogs and within the mail archive I am starting to think this is a special error. I tried with the bandwith and also tried with max_retry, but none of them help. The smsc also put my throughput higher but this doesn't seem to solve my problem. My problem is like this: 1. One or more mobile numbers send more sms out then they can receive (they send out 100 and can receive 70) 2. We reply to all 100 sms 3. The smsc keeps 10 sms if the persons inbox is full 4. So this means that 20 sms are not send to the smsc 5. These come in a gwlist and are send after 60 seconds (if I'm correct) 6. I get the error messages more than once (I think until the person deletes sms from their inbox and all others are send to him) Sometimes Kannel just continues working fine even if these errors occur. And sometimes Smsbox just stops receiving sms. Both the bearebox and the smsbox are running and I can see that the bearerbox is receiving sms, but they are not send to my smsbox. From the kannel.conf my service calls a script, but this script isn't run either. I hope you can identify this problem and help me with a solution, Dave
