Re: Compatibility
I ordered a USB/power of USB GSM modem unit from KLS electronic in China off alibaba.com and it works really well. I've been using them consistently with Kannel, and using custom scripts that I wrote using the command line utility cu and they've been very solid. Cheers, Iain On Sat, 27 Feb 2010, LoLoVioLo wrote: Hi all, Sorry it is another compatibility request. The compatibility list appears poor concerning devices that work as SMSC. The fact is that I am actually using a siemens s35 which is really perfect to send sms but hardly manage both receive and send on heavy traffic situation. After a while, incoming SMS are stored into internal memory instead of passing to kannel then refuse incoming SMS as memory is full. I tried siemens s45, sony ericsson t600 but can't find a real stable way (phone power down, phone freeze, etc.) So I am thinking about using a dedicated GSM modem instead of a mobile phone to avoid this problems (the simpler the best). The 3 models in compatibility list (nokia premicell, siemens m20, wavecom wm02) appears quite old and hard to find. My aim is to have a dual band rs232 GSM modem as stable as possible able to send and receive SMS without discard any of them. Wavecom appears still very active on the GSM modem business. Especially do you have any experience with wavecom Fastrack M1206B ? For those who have system running at 10 SMS/min (send and receive) for months - please share your experience. Thanks. LoLoVioLo
Re: Special characters @$_
Using PHP, I do this in order to make @ appear correctly: $new_sms = strtr($msg,'@',chr(64)); I think it may be depending on your provider, though. that snippet above is for sending through my outbound provider. However, for inbound I have to do the following: $msg = str_replace(chr(161),'@',$msg); $msg = str_replace(chr(164),'$',$msg); $msg = str_replace(chr(139),'^',$msg); $msg = str_replace(chr(167),'_',$msg); I just found this out through trial and error.

Re: getting MO and MT data into a database
Hi Scott, Maybe I'm under false assumptions... What I'm trying to capture is all the data into a database. I need a few fields: phone number, date/time, message content MT messages are sent by you, using kannel. The solution here is simple: write the details to a database before you send them to kannel. MO messages are delivered to the get-url parameter specified in your sms-service group. I use the following sms service with the keyword-regex .* as I handle all my message switching in my app outside of kannel (I simply use kannel as an SMPP transport and nothing more): # SERVICES group = sms-service keyword = keyword-regex = .* catch-all = yes max-messages = 0 accept-x-kannel-headers=1 get-url = "http://myserver.com/concatenate_mo.php?from=%p&to=%Q&msg=%a&udh=%u&id=%I"; The reason I use the id=%I parameter there is because the "to" parameter doesn't work (it's possibly been fixed in a later version of kannel but there's no way I'm upgrading the software on a production machine when I already have a workaround :) I've attached the concatenate_mo.php script I have written which deals with the UDH to stick long messages back together (again, this may be present in later versions of kannel but I haven't bothered checking since I've got no problems with my present solution). The real hack is in the function getDestination which uses the "id" parameter obtained from %I in the get-url parameter to find out what the destination number, ie. the number that this message came in on, was by grepping the kannel log file. Ugly as hell, but it's worked 100% reliably for me for the past 3 years so I'm not about to go changing it. Your mileage may vary though :) Cheers, Iain On 6/13/10, Nikos Balkanas wrote: Hi, Your problem is that you mix up MOs with MTs. The reply to an MO is not an MT, just an MO reply.

Re: Asterisk voicemail SMS alert through SMSC gateway using kannel
This is my first post here. Has any one implemented this? If yes, please share your experience. We use asterisk as voicemail server for our Cellular network. and do have access to SMSC gateway. So how can use kannel to send SMS as voicemail alert? asterisk sends an email by default right? so you need to setup something like procmail to receive these and provide email2sms functionality via kannel. the key will be providing some mapping between asterisk user and their mobile number, so that the email2sms gateway knows which number to send the alert to. cheers iain

A script like: #!/bin/bash echo "$1 $2 $3" cannot do any harm under any circumstances. Of course it doesn' do anything useful either. You just need to send $1 $2 $3, not exeute them. If a C executable is involved you just have to watch for buffer overuns in the argument list. Your responsibility again, right? Therefore no harm in sending a message like "rm -rf *". 3) Your script is only locally accessible, i.e. you have to have local access to your server, or through kannel. And kannel usage is logged, accounted and billed for. So no DOS sendsms either. Just make sure that you set the right permissions (100) to the script w/ owner kannel. 4) You cannot buffer overun kannel with a very long $3. It is not using strcpy. Just malloc. Try it if you wish. In conclusion responsibility is up to you and the script you provide. Now if someone cracks your server and replaces your script w/ something bad (he needs kannel access to do it), you could get into all sorts of trouble that kannel could cause.

When kannel receives an SMS message from a mobile phone, as far as I know it can do one of four things: a) Give back a simple text response. b) Give back the contents of a file. c) Fetch a URL. d) Execute a given shell command/script. I really want to use d) for the flexibility offered, but is there *any* way to use d) completely securely? Can someone show an example of an "exec" line where it is impossible for someone that to craft an evil SMS message that could execute dangerous commands on my system? The kannel user guide of course gives this warning: BEWARE: You may harm your system if you use this sms-service type without serious caution! Make sure anyone who is allowed to use these kind of services is checked using white/black-list mechanisms for security reasons. But I wish it would show an example of safe usage (if it exists). For example, my sms-service group might have an obvious 'exec' entry like this: group = sms-service keyword = whatever exec = "someprogram.sh %p %P %r" (where %r is of course most of the SMS message), I would think that someone could send a malicious SMS message like this for example: ; rm -rf * or any arbitrary other command. The only "saving grace" appears to be that kannel seems to automatically URL-encode many of the characters in the above parameters like %r, and replaces spaces with '+" . So for example, the above "; rm -rf *" actually gets changed by kannel to %3B+rm+-rf+* which reduces the chances of a malicious SMS message doing damage. Even if it "secure", it could also be possible that an SMS sender inadvertently sends some character which might trip up the shell. E.g. if I write the exec in this way, surrounding the parameters with single quotes: exec = "someprogram.sh '%p' '%P' '%r'" then *maybe* it could be possible for the shell to trip up if the SMS sender innocently sends a single quote as part of the message. (I'm not saying it will - I actually haven't tested this scenario, but you get the point. ) Kannel will then presumably lose the SMS message, and the customer will be none the wiser. Unfortuntely, I need this particular SMS receiver service to be open to anyone, i.e. I can't whitelist or blacklist anybody. So does anyone have an "exec" entry which is perfectly secure and will not trip up no matter which characters are in the SMS message?

The sms-resend-freq defines the frequency in seconds when kannel will retry to send these queued messages which were not delivered to the SMSC (defaults to 60 seconds) and the sms-resend-retry defines how many times it will retry for each messages (defaults to -1 which means unlimited number of retries) Don't touch these parameters if you don't really need them ;) In your case the message is delivered to the SMSC and the recipient can not be reached. Check your logs to see if this dlr-status appears only for some mobile numbers. If that is the case you can call your mobile provider and ask them what's the problem with these subscribers. But my application is still showing "sending..." even the message has been discarded. I don't know how your application handles the message states I guess you are reading the message states from the dlr reports ;) If that is so, showing "sending..." is ok. If the message has arrived to the SMSC, message is not discarded until you get delivery report for that. Ask your self one question, do you really need to get a delivery report when the SMSC queues the message? From my personal experience, I worked for a mobile operator, nobody didn't use delivery statuses different then message delivered / not delivered, but its your choice ;) BR, Jovan -- Neu: GMX FreeDSL Komplettanschluss mit DSL 6.000 Flatrate + Telefonanschluss für nur 17,95 Euro/mtl.!* http://dslspecial.gmx.de/freedsl-surfflat/?ac=OM.AD.PD003K11308T4569a
Re: missing report if message discarded..
Hi Beatrice, Now I have to figure out how to get the discard-notification... ideas? Well, the way I figure this out is if the FAILED dlr comes back and it's the same as the validity period, then it's obviously failed due to an expired delivery period. If the message fails straight away it's failed for some other (and usually more problematic) reason. My provider simply provides a FAILED dlr for expired messages. Cheers, Iain

registered delivery
hi there, i've just received a report back from my aggregator that some of my requests are coming through with "registered_delivery=0" in them which is (alledgedly) causing droppage of large numbers of DLR messages. i can't see anything about this in the userguide and what's most strange is that i've changed nothing in my setup recently that would have caused this to start happening (perhaps the aggregator changed something? who knows). anyway, has anyone dealt with this parameter before? cheers iain
registered_delivery - clarification
hi all, i received some clarification back from the carrier: it was only the first of a multipart message that got registered_delivery = 1, then any subsequent parts of the multipart message had registered_delivery = 0. this seems pretty sensible seeing as, from my perspective, a concatenated message is really only 1 message. cheers iain
Re: registered_delivery - clarification
Hi Alejandro, present. Assuming that you're in fact setting those parameters, I see your point. I'm not sure what the regular behaviour should be, when a message is being split by kannel? Let's analyze the facts further: I assume the behaviour now is only to set registered_delivery = 1 on the first part of the split message, and subsequent parts get set to zero. This causes kannel to only care about the first part of the message regarding dlrs. Yes, this appears to be the behaviour currently. On the other hand, if all parts go as registered_delivery = 1, a dlr entry for all those parts would be needed (to match the incoming dlr later). Those dlr entries would share the same dlr-url, thus causing kannel to hit the same url again and again with confusing results (e.g., a "delivered" entry after a permanent "failed" on the same "id"). So, a possible solution would be to modify kannel to handle two extra parameters on the dlr-url: * part number * number of parts That way, the dlr-url's would have different part numbers (and you would know how many parts to expect), so your application layer would know where a message was completely delivered. I can think of an alternate approach where kannel holds hitting the dlr-url until all parts have arrived, but since there's so many possible intermediate statuses (that could happen on each separate parta at the same time) and the process itself it's asynchronous by nature... I don't see it like a viable solution. Opinions? From the perspective of someone implementing an application that sits on top of kannel, certainly the desired behaviour is that multipart messages should just behave like single part messages, which is how it operates now. The only problem is that if the first part gets delivered, and subsequent parts do not get delivered, and the SMSc behaves in such a way that they treat each individual message part as it's own identity that should either receive a DLR or not based on the registered_delivery parameter, that we could get the impression that a multipart message has been successfully delivered when in fact delivery of all parts except the initial message failed. One course of action that occurs to me as viable at least where mysql is being used as DLR storage, is that you have 2 tables: 1 for message and one for message part. The dlr-url is stored in the message table, and these have a 1-to-many relationship. The DLRs received from the SMSc should operate on the message_part table. Once all message parts are marked as finalised the dlr-url is hit. If any part of the message failed the status should be FAIL (alternatively we could include a new status PARTIAL FAIL). This seems desirable to me because otherwise you're at the mercy of the SMSc behaving sensibly which will not always be the case.

Re: registered_delivery - clarification
I should add to my last email that I think that all messages (even single part messages) should have entries in both message and message_part; ie. the system treats a single part message as a special kind of multipart message rather than the other way around. cheers iain On Fri, 12 Jun 2009, Alejandro Guerrieri wrote: registered_delivery gets set to nonzero when dlr-mask and dlr-url are present.

load problems
hi all, i have two problems that i'm hoping someone will be able to help me investigate: 1) the other day during a period of heavy activity, kannel died and was unable to be restarted by daemontools (which i use to monitor kannel and restart if it happens to die - usually works fine). however if i de-activated daemontools then i was able to start kannel myself from the command line. there was nothing appearing in the log files to indicate what the error preventing restart may have been. i also can't figure out why it would have died; i have my logrotate set to rotate when the logfile reaches a certain size. is it possible that a logrotate event being triggered and sending a hangup signal to the bearerbox pid file during a period of heavy activity could have caused it to die for some reason? 2) i've recently noticed a tremendous increase in dropped DLR messages. i've received a report from my aggregator which clearly shows that my kannel install is acknowledging almost all DLR messages that are being submitted back by my aggregator (see below). I ran a PHP script which looped through 10,000 socket connections to write data to my server that holds the DLR URL, and it ran in about 6 seconds without dropping any (the DLR script on my server simply writes the information to a file for later processing by a daemon which writes the information to the database, so as to avoid the potential for high load to affect other areas of operation). so it appears that, somehow, DLR messages are being dropped between my kannel server and the web server received the DLR messages; how is that possible? is there some way i can find out if that is what's happening? here are the reports from the aggregator indicating that we're acknowledging the majority of DLR messages correctly: FIRST SMPP SERVER: less 2009-06-16.txt | grep -ai 'submit_sm,' | wc -l 4163 less 2009-06-16.txt | grep -ai 'deliver_sm,' | grep -ai 'stat:ACKED' | wc -l 4225 less 2009-06-16.txt | grep -ai 'deliver_sm,' | grep -ai 'stat:FAILED' | wc -l 683 less 2009-06-16.txt | grep -ai 'deliver_sm,' | grep -ai 'stat:DELIVRD' | wc -l 3497 less 2009-06-16.txt | grep -ai 'deliver_sm_resp' | wc -l 8444 SECOND SMPP SERVER: less 2009-06-16.txt | grep -ai 'submit_sm,' | wc -l 4251 less 2009-06-16.txt | grep -ai 'deliver_sm,' | grep -ai 'stat:ACKED' | wc -l 4176 less 2009-06-16.txt | grep -ai 'deliver_sm,' | grep -ai 'stat:FAILED' | wc -l 629 less 2009-06-16.txt | grep -ai 'deliver_sm,' | grep -ai 'stat:DELIVRD' | wc -l 3519 less 2009-06-16.txt | grep -ai 'deliver_sm_resp' | wc -l 8401 cheers iain

Re: What is the operational benefit of DLR storage?
Hi Stuart, There is always some form of DLR storage in Kannel. The choice is whether you use internal or external storage. The only difference here is that, when you restart the Kannel process, you lose all internal DLR storage whereas if you use external storage it persists across separate process executions.

Re: [URGENT]Connection Timeout to My Kannel
I need to solve this problem. Currently my Kannel is servicing a huge traffic (more than 100 requests per second). My telco complains that they receive many connection timeout. Let's suppose there is no network issue here. Is there any options to increase Kannel's thread? So it can serves more requests? TIA. you can add more machinery. bearerbox and smsblox can run on seperate servers. i find it hard to believ that 100 requests per second is causing kannel to choke though ... cheers iain

Re: Where did I save incoming messages?
Hi Chun Li, Are you refering to "mysql storage" for DLRs? This is a temporary storage system for only deliver receipts. The advantage is that you can restart your bearerbox process without losing any delivery receipts. If you want to store the actual messages persistently then you need to specify a get-url parameter which will hand the SMS off to an application (something you need to write).

RE: users Digest, Vol 66, Issue 41
Hey Michael, In order do this, you need to define a service which "receives" the messages. This is done by creating a script that is located at a URL (eg. http://localhost/my_receiver.php) that will take the inbound message and do all the processing for you. You can look at how to configure a service in the kannel user guide: http://kannel.org/userguide Cheers, Iain On Sun, 19 Feb 2012, Michael Farouk wrote: Dears, Kindly, I need kannel to insert the sms traffic in data base MYsql how can I do that?

Couldnot write to device
i have made some progress this morning. first of all i discovered the correct device to use on my freebsd box and how to test it. i can now do: cu -s 115200 -l /dev/ttyU0 i then get connect and can type in commands: Connected at OK so it speaka my language. so i changed smskannel.conf to: group = smsc smsc = at smsc-id = WT modemtype = auto dev = /dev/ttyU0 speed = 115200 port = 1 connect-allow-ip = 127.0.0.1 log-file = "/var/log/smsc.log" log-level = 0 tail -f /var/log/smsc.log shows (i'm rewriting this by hand so some formatting omitted): opening device speed set to 115200 Couldnot write to device System error 35: Resource temporarily unavailable Do i need to configure my modem type differently? i read in Appendix A that module at has been dropped and module at2 is now called at. if i type at2 when connected to the device via cu, then i get ERROR. does this mean that i should install a version of kannel prior to 1.2.x in order to use the at module? cheers iain
mozat m2u reported as working
hi, i managed to get the mozat m2u gsm modem working with kannel. i used: speed = 115200 modemtype = wavecom device = /dev/cuaU0 (on freebsd 6.0... ttyU0 also works) in order to find this stuff out i did: cu -s 115200 -l /dev/cuaU0 ae1 #set echo responses to true so you can see what you type ati1 #display the modem type this showed 'WAVECOM MODEM' so i copied modems.conf from the gateway directory into /usr/local/etc/ and put the line: include = "modems.conf" into smskannel.conf. also for all your freebsd users out there, the mozat m2u usb modem will show up as device ugen0 when you plug it in. it needs to show up as a ucom device when you plug it in (which will create the device nodes /dev/ttyU0 and /dev/cuaU0 for you, that you can 'cu' in to, man cu for more details). in order to get the mozat m2u to register as a ucom device, type the following (as root): kldload uplcom now unplug the device and plug it back in again and you should see 'ucom0'. once you've confirmed this works, add this to your kernel. cheers iain

Hi Anand,
the SMPP v3.4 server market is usually not open source, as CMG/Logica, NowSMS
and other vendors value their products and don't share such server side
software.
Nevertheless some of Kannel developers, including Rene and me (Alex maybe
too?;)
offer server side extentions to Kannel.
In my case this beast is called smppbox that is able to act as a full-blown
SMPP
v3.4 server. Hence allowing you to connect own customers via SMPP and
leaverage
all MT traffic via Kannel's bearerbox to any of the supported protocolls.
But even those servers from the Kannel developers are NOT open source. They
are
subject to a commercial license agreement.

Stipe

Re: how to configuratio sonyercsson t230
hi, have you ever used cu before? the first thing to check is what device is the correct one to use. for example, on freebsd when i plugin a usb gsm modem, it first comes up with device ugen0. this is not the correct device however. i have to type: kldload uplcom or have this module compiled into the kernel in order to use this device. when i have this setup, then the device shows up as ucom0 when i plug it into the usb. i can then type: cu -s 115200 -l /dev/cuaU0 this connects me to the modem directly. i can then type: at and hit enter, and i see OK. then i can type: atdMY_NUMBER where MY_NUMBER is my phone number, and my phone rings. if i type: ati0 it tells me what modem type it is. this is how i discovered that it is a WAVECOM modem, so i followed the instructions for a WAVECOM modem found on the kannel home page. don't also forget to 'include' modems.conf in your smskannel.conf file cheers iain On Mon, 7 Aug 2006, zainuddin ngaddi wrote: dear, i use gateway-1.4.0 use the sonyericsson t230. how to configuration smskannel.conf. for information i used system operation Suse 10 and usb data cable DCU-11 from sonyericsson.

So I need to connect the Serial port of my PC to the USB cable of the phone. I was looking for those serial2USB adapters but I found converters from USB2Serial but not serial2usb. Thus they are not the same thing right? Do you know where can I found those serial2uSB cables? usb is serial, it's just faster than a standard db9 connection. you can use kannel to drive a mode, connected to a usb port. cheers iain Regards Alvaro -Mensaje original- De: Lars-Hendrik Schneider [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: Jueves, 10 de Agosto de 2006 09:17 Para: users@kannel.org Asunto: Re: Connecting USB GSM phones Hi Alvaro, Alvaro Cornejo schrieb: Hi I´m newbie into kannel.

Here in Mexico we can not find serial cables to connect phones to PC but USB cables. Is there a way we can use an USB connection ? I wrote something a longer time ago (see below). First of all, you can connect a serial device using a Serial2USB converter. Afterwards you can address the device using sth. like /dev/ttyUSB0 or whatever your system assigns the device to. The snippet below might help you to understand what happens here: ++ !EOF Hi everyone, I have written a small and simple script which I use here to assign my three modems that are connected using USB to the different kannel instances. The problem in short: - I need 3 gsm modems (because there is no routing between the provider's networks in the destination country :-(.) - Therefore I use USB to serial converters to connect my modems to the computer running kannel (on Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy). - The USB devices are managed by the hotplug daemon assigning a "/dev/ttyUSBxxx" to every found device, BUT: - You cannot be sure about the order in which these devices are assigned (especially when you plugout and plugin again.) So /dev/ttyUSB*** changes... This led me to a few headaches. - Solution: Fight the multiheaded USB monster! (http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6518) NOTE: All modems are connected to ONE USB hub using a PL-2303-USB-Serial converter. (By understanding the syntax of /proc/tty/driver/usbserial you can add more switches of course!) Step by step through my tiny script: - The hotplug daemon needs to be restarted by root. Therefor simple check for root first. - Then: Kill all kannel stuff the hard way (easy, just to make sure, normally the script is run at boot time) - Now restart the hotplug daemon so that it reads the devices again and from scratch and automatically assigns them to /dev/ttyUSB0 -> /dev/ttyUSBn - These information are now stored in /proc/tty/driver/usbserial, hooray!: usbserinfo:1.0 driver:v2.0 0: module:pl2303 name:"PL-2303" vendor:067b product:2303 num_ports:1 port:1 path:usb-:00:1d.7-4.1 1: module:pl2303 name:"PL-2303" vendor:067b product:2303 num_ports:1 port:1 path:usb-:00:1d.7-4.2 2: module:pl2303 name:"PL-2303" vendor:067b product:2303 num_ports:1 port:1 path:usb-:00:1d.7-4.3 This reads like: "0:" -> this is the device /dev/ttyUSB0 (the 0 at the end) that hotplug found. Wonderful, but normally you can't rely on that this is always the same modem. Argl. "module:pl2303 name:"PL-2303" vendor:067b product:2303" -> some information about the converter, because I use three the same it was not very helpful to identify every modem by this (but can be if you have more than 3 modems)... "path:usb-:00:1d.7-4.1" -> here comes the important stuff. Just read it from the back, so the "1" stands for the physical port 1 of the USB hub, the "7-4" has something to do with the hub itself, then follows the physical address of the USB port to which the hub is connected to. Read the website above to find more about it. Well the idea is now: I always connect the modem that uses e.g. kannel1.conf to the the physical(!) port 1 of the hub, but cannot be sure that the hotplug will assign it to /dev/ttyUSB0 always (as it mixes it up). Thats why, have look afterwards and make a symlink to the final destination and change kannel1.conf e.g. to the symlink /dev/gsm1 Example: So if it is like 3: module:pl2303 name:"PL-2303" vendor:067b product:2303 num_ports:1 port:1 path:usb-:00:1d.7-4.1 The system knows my modem on port 1 (physical port of the hub) as /dev/ttyUSB3 - normally a problem, but with a ln -s /dev/ttyUSB3 /dev/gsm1 I can add /dev/gsm1 as fixed device in my kannel.conf, no matter which device hotplug finds first. /dev/gsm1 -> /dev/ttyUSB3 I just need 3 modems, and therefore I made only 3 simple if/elif to find whether my modems are found or not. As it works for me (as simple as this) - perhaps it puts so

Hi!
I am facing a strange problem. I have kannel installed to work as AT
SMSC. Its working fine. But my application requires kannel to contact
a HTTP page and the page in return gives a Redirect request. Kannel is
able to call the page, but its not being redirected. The message in
log is as follows:
SMS HTTP-request sender: request: 'Could not fetch content,
sorry.' url: '' reply: -1 ''
Now, the strange part is, its working fine if the script is on LAN but
not on the Internet. If its on internet, it gives the above error. The
PHP code for redirect script is as follows:
$value)
{
fwrite($fp_handle, "$key :: $value; ");
}
fwrite($fp_handle, "\n");
fclose($fp_handle);
$message = urlencode($_GET['fullsms']);
header("Location: http://localhost/recieve2.php?message=$message";);
header outputs a header to the client which in this case is kannel
The script notes down the content in GET and sends a redirect request.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening (pls dont quote alternative
solutions of doing the same).
you got it :)

Gerard,
System-ID equals to "username" on Kannel. You know that isn't it? ;)
Most of the other parameters have their Kannel counterparts. Check the
Kannel docs for all available parameters, the names are pretty close
most of the time.
Please also check the logs (set log-level to 0 to make it more verbose
if you want) for the error # you get. I/O error could mean a lot of
things, from a misconfigured firewall to almost anything.
Hope it helps,

[create session id] --> send URL over WAP Push --> User click on WAP
Push SMS --> email opened through web/wap

i'm developing something similar, i need a script that accepts phone calls, finds the number, drops the call then initiates a callback. would your system require caller line identification? the bit about acting on a ring seems pretty trivial to me. i was planning on a php script (simply because that's what i'm most comfortable with) that opens a socket to the command: cu -s 115200 -l /dev/ttyUSB0 when the modem receives a call, the the output goes RING RING RING, and you can enter AT strings to pick up the call etc. (you can try it manually, just plug your modem in, issue that command and then call it, you'll see RING RING RING on the screen, then type ath1 to pickup, ath0 to hangup ... etc. etc.) i'm pretty sure you can use AT strings to access CLI information (obviously not for international numbers). cheers iain On Thu, 9 Nov 2006, Julien Buratto wrote: If any of you is interested in developing with me a kind of "ring service on demand", please contact me.

Re[2]: Sms (or URL) on RING
On Thu, 9 Nov 2006, Thomas G?ttgens wrote: Hello Iain, we use a similar setup to accept requests for sending out alert SMS batches. Caller calls an extension on our pbx from a registered phone and triggers the sending of a couple of SMS to a predefined list. Clients use this predominantly to trigger alert sms by dialup devices. don't even try to fiddle with modems or direct serial scripting here, use an asterisk server for the call processing like we did. In our case the calls are not even sent in via ISDN cards, but via SIP directly from the phone company, although ISDN would work as well. We simply pick up the ring, compare with our CLI-Database and trigger Kannel to send the SMS. For details in the setup, you can contact me. the big issue here is that my client needs to be able to deploy a server in a large number of geographically disparate locations, so it cannot be assumed that he has call termination where the server is deployed necessarily. and you can't get CLI information on international numbers, so i need to have the dial in happening on a GSM modem, that way we just have to deploy the server with a modem+sim card attached and we can do CLI in almost any country with a lot less hassle. i don't actually know asterisk that well, but i'm assuming that i can't just plug a GSM modem into asterisk ... cheers iain -- Best regards, Thomasmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
viewing internal dlr storage
hi, i've set dlr-storage = internal in my 'core' group. i can see there are two parameters of interest in the sendsms-user configuration group, dlr-mask and dlr-url. however i can't really see what these two are supposed to be. the dlr-mask confuses me, and i'm not sure how the parameters will be passed to the dlr-url that i specify. can someone please supply an example configuration or method of viewing internal DLR? cheers iain

internal dlr storage
hi, i've written a couple of times about how to access internal dlr storage and there have been no responses. am i missing something very obviuous here? i can't find anything in the userguide or google which tells me how to access the delivery reports... is it not possible? cheers iain
Re: internal dlr storage
hi seik,
In case you want to work with delivery reports,
there is no usage of dealing with the internal dlr storage.
hmm what is internal then? it does'nt say this in the manual
Instead, when sending the message, set dlr-mask to something useful value as 31,
and set dlr-url value to an accusable by Kannel URL:
the description of the dlr-mask in the user guide totally perplexed me.
why is 31 a useful value?
example:
http://localhost/dlr.pgsql.php?smscID=%i&dlr=%d&answer=%A&to=%p&from=%P&ts=%T&smsID={$mesgid}&charset=%C&kannel_id=%I
$mesgid would be the unique external application ID by which you would know
what the status of the sent message is.
that's a great example thanks
Kannel will query the URL with the proper values according to the dlr-mask
value.
It ups to you to set the logic behind the dlr-url
what do you mean by "according to the dlr-mask value"? how does the
dlr-mask value affect what is passed to the dlr-url?
all the above is in the manual, as usual:
http://www.kannel.org/download/kannel-userguide-snapshot/userguide.html
Table 6-9. Parameters (Escape Codes)
Table 6-12. SendSMS-User Group Variables
and especially that one:
Table 6-16. SMS Push (send-sms) CGI Variables
okay, i had looked at all these sections although i glossed over the
sms-service bit because at the moment i am not aiming to receive any
messages. the fact that the dlr-url uses the same variables as the
sms-service was lost on me.
it would be good if there was an example (or link to one) in the user
manual under the 'internal dlr storage' seition.
i'm still baffled as to the meaning of dlr-mask
cheers
iain
in short, this is the most flexible way of monitoring your
messages status,
as you may set the dlr-url per client account or whatever rule you may have.
Regards
seik

kannel character encoding
does anyone know what the default character encoding kannel uses is? cheers iain
sending escape character
hi, i need to send an escape character with the value 0x1b. how can i
specify this? i'm sending from php so i did this:
$message = 'Poker '.chr(hexdec('1b')).'40 the glasgow arms';
but it doesn't seem to work. i received the text message:
"Poker ?40 the glasgow arms"
according to the mblox documentation it should have come as:
"Poker @ the glasgow arms"
can anyone shed any light on this?
cheers

sending escape character to smsc
hello again, okay here is a more detailed description of my problem.
i sent a message with an '@' symbol to a handset and when it arrived the
'@' symbol cut off the message.
the mblox manual says that i need to send the escape character followed by
'40' in order to send an '@' symbol. mblox technical support say that i
need to 'encode the @ symbol as :40'. i don't know what ':' is supposed to
refer to here, as when i send the message :40 it sends the literal string
":40".
i used urlencode(chr(hexdec('1b'))) to create a message with the escape
character (which i then saw just generates %1B :)
"Poker+%1B40+the+glasgow+arms"
the message shows up in the kannel log as:
"Poker 0 the glasgow arms"
and arrives at my handset as:
"Poker ?40 the glasgow arms"
does this give anyone a bit more ammunition to help solve the problem?
cheers

Re: sending escape character to smsc
hi seik,
so, in case you have no contact with the SMSC people,
if you receive MO traffic from this SMSC,
send a message from your mobile containing @
and check what is the character code of the @ symbol.
the SMSC will cut the MO message as well.
do this:
$strangeCharValue=64; // found strange value of the SMSC character
$new_sms="";
for ($i=0; $i
wow that is bizarre. the smsc people had no idea this was happening.
makes me wonder ...
anyway, your codes worked thanks. i did simplify it a little though ;)
$new_sms = str_replace('@',chr(161),$old_sms);
