Re: [Kannel-Users] How stable is your kannel?

I've heard my friend that, kannel is not stable on linux but in freebsd he said stable anybody could confirm it? I have run Kannel on FreeBSD, and the only thing that kills it is the internal DLR storage -- many messages never "complete" the cycle kannel believes is 100%: 8 Delivered to SMSC 4 Delivered to Carrier 1 or 2 Delivered or Failed to Handset Kannel, if it never sees a 1 or 2 or 16 for a DLR, never deletes the record from memory, and thus after a few days or weeks, runs out of memory. The solution is to move DLR storage to mysql, and if that was the case, I am confident that kannel would not crash. In a previous life I ran kannel on redhat linux with at least 90 days of uptime, probably more, just can't remember, or the box needed upgrades and a reboot before kannel died. I know kannel is still used and is stable for a company running at least 100,000 SMS messages per day. Beckman ----------- Peter Beckman Internet Guy [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.purplecow.com/ ---
Re: [Kannel-Users] Why run your own SMS Gateway?
On Wed, 21 Dec 2005, James Ellis wrote: I am an SMS newbie and I was wondering if I understand this correctly: The SMS Gateway provides a way to send SMS messages to an SMSC who will ensure that the message is actually received at a mobile phone. Ensure? Guarantee? Doubtful. Attempt? Yes. In order to talk to an SMSC, you pretty much either need to go through a reseller (such as Clickatell) or have enough volume to justify a carrier's interest in you. If this is true...and I am sending messages through an SMSC reseller (Clickatell), don't all of them provide their own SMS gateways? If so, when/why would I run my own gateway such as Kannel? Kannel connects to SMSC's, it is not an SMSC itself. Kannel connects to Clickatell or a carrier, if you connect via SMPP. If you connect via HTTP, then you don't need kannel.

Other than that, the dlr-url never gets called again, even after the SMS is delivered successfully to the recipient. The DLR entry on the database still has status=0 and I've verified that the dlr-url never gets called again. If it's true that Kannel uses the timestamp as one of its variable to identify a unique SMS to be updated, then I suspect that it might have something to do with the timestamp field. I've followed your suggestion to change the ts to be DATETIME. However, now I don't see the timestamp at all. It becomes: "-00-00 00:00:00" while when I used VARCHAR(40) as per the example from Kannel, I had numbers such as 39, 1347, 1432, etc. I might be wrong though, timestamp might not have anything to do with my problem. Could it also be that the SMSC on the operator side doesn't work correctly? If I want to debug this from Kannel output, where should I start backtracking this issue?

Find out what character set your remote SMSC is expecting, then force your character set to that in your smsbox config. alt-charset=ISO-8859-1 (where ISO-8859-1 is the charset your SMSC is expecting.

Re: [Kannel-Users] Re: Push-To-Talk (PTT) / PTT-over-Cellular (PoC)
Sprint (US), which recently purchased Nextel (which now will become Sprint Nextel, oh what genius came up with that name?), also provides a PTT function. The Sanyo 4920 includes this feature. I don't believe it took off as well as Nextel's service, but Sprint does provide it on some handsets. Not iDen based. I don't believe they market it heavily, but they do offer it as a service. I wonder if it is possible to do a voice-recognition application via PTT... probably not via kannel... Beckman On Wed, 31 Aug 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The only vendor I know of who has profitably went with any type of PTT function is the US company NexTel with a motorola iDen service. There was an attempt by Verizon to market a similar product (I believe it was also iDen technology, but could be mistaken) but network provisioning was half-hearted and had lags that literally ranged to minutes for a message to be received. For something marketed as "Walkie-talkie", quite disastrous to sales and client retention. The Verizon package died a quick and horrible death leaving only NexTel as a vendor providing such a service (I've heard some rumors of Sprint toying with it, but since acquisition...) Of course the iDen standard is a bit different than the standard proposed by OMA. I DO know that I saved quite a bit using iDEN PTT comms at work and at home due to the flat rate, but the plans were substantially higher as there is no competition. In the US there is little incentive to substantially increase the levels of service to what is fairly standard elsewhere in the world. Vendors lock their phones to only be capable of operating on THEIR network, even if their competitor uses the same equipment, services are primitive compared to anything available on the Pacific rim and Europe, indeed primitive compared even to the middle east!

Re: [Kannel-Users] Send file over SMS
On Fri, 29 Jul 2005, Ricky Wibowo wrote: I wonder to know how to send a file (.jar , .mid, etc) into handphone using SMS? SMS is capable of sending binary and plain-text content to handsets. Binary content would be like monophonic ringtones (RTTTF) and WAP Push messages. Plain text is just that -- plain text. It could include a URL. WAP can be served by Apache without modification. Many folks use PHP or Perl to write a script that sends the WAP header so the phone knows to expect WAP instead of the default HTML. All larger (i.e. 1Kb+) binary files, .mid, .jar, .mmf, etc are delivered via the Internet. You can use WAP, though some phones can use HTML. There is a great PHP library to handle this called HawHaw. Google it. In order to deliver large binary files, you must be running a web server that contains the content. An SMS is sent to the handset (either a binary wap push, which contains a message + a URL and almost forces a phone to go to that URL, or a plain text SMS with the URL as part of the text) with the URL reference to the content you want to send them. Please note that WAP Push IS NOT supported by every carrier. Some support it, some do it differently, some don't do it. WAP Push is not guaranteed to work, while plain text almost always does.

Sometimes the handset will go off-network, and your SMS will get stuck at DLR == 4... then the handset comes back 3 hours/3 days later, and voila, you get an update to your message of DLR == 1. Sometimes the carrier will immediately accept then fail the message when the handset is roaming, and sometimes it will accept and hold until either it gets delivered, or fails. Sometimes the carrier doesn't tell you, because they don't know. Sometimes the carrier holds the message, but then expires them and doesn't tell you it failed. Sometimes the SMSC doesn't pass along messages from the carrier back to you. How's that? It's VERY inconsistent, especially carrier to carrier, but even within a carrier sometimes. Fun, eh?

Re: [Kannel-Users] RE: Out of Memory
The idea -- Kannel stores all DLR URLs in memory. It doesn't clean them out very well nor intelligently. If you leave bearerbox running long enough, it may never shed it's in-memory store of the DLR URLs, and thus eat up all your memory. This is different than the store-file, which stores messages, not DLRs. You could move DLRs into a DB such as MySQL. Read up the documentation on how to do that. It's a bit of a pain, so read the mailing list archives to find out how people got mysql compiled in properly and the hacks they used on some non-Linux-RPM mysql installs. I do not know if there is a flag to set for the BB that will clear out any DLR messages not requested after 24 hours... or some amount of time. That'd be nice... so maybe it already exists.

Re: [Kannel-Users] dlr status = 8 on delivered SMS ???
Remember that Kannel itself generates the DLR for 8 (submitted successfully to SMSC), NOT the SMSC itself. The SMSC will generally send you DLR of 4, 2 and 1; Kannel generates DLRs for 8 and 16 (failed submit to SMSC). The DLR reports themselves also look different.

Re: [Kannel-Users] Re: [Kannel-Users] Re: dlr mysql entries
You need to urlencode your dlr-url.

I just want to know if i can get a sample script for handling the DLRs (the one u have mentioned above). I have started using kannel recently, i would be very much grateful if get this favour. From ur discussion i gained a good knowlege of that a DLR actually is and for what it is used. When calling sendsms, use the dlr-url to call any php/asp/perl/cf (basically any language you use to code) with the escape codes mentioned in the kannel docs (http://www.kannel.org/download/1.4.0/userguide-1.4.0/userguide.html, Table 6-9. Parameters). You can pass all those escape codes to the script, make the script send you a mail with the values of those parameters. Send a sms using the sendsms and call the script using dlr-url, see the response from the script and you will understand which all escape code is returning what values. Example: lynx --dump "http://127.0.0.1:13013/cgi-bin/sendsms?username=foo&password=bar&to=NUMBER&text=hello&from=anand&dlr-mask=31&dlr-url=http://x.x.x.x/dlr.php?type=%d&slid=8&k=%k&s=%s&s1=%S&r=%r&a=%a&b=%b&t=%t&t1=%T&p=%p&p1=%P&q=%q&q1=%Q&i=%i&i1=%I&a1=%A&n=%n&c=%c&c1=%C&u=%u&b1=%B&o=%o&mclass=1"; I just typed all the escape codes in the above link (please do check before using it as it is).

I was trying to out ways to get to the ts field ;) If you recall my earlier message in which i mentioned about the script which is called in using dlr-url to check for the unique id in kannel table to get to the ts field ? There is one problem to it, if the message is delivered before my script gets to it then the script has no way to get the ts field hence i was trying to get something on that. Getting another insert was basically to get those values in another table for the same work and then remove them at leisure, says once a day or something. If you are having the problem of entries in your store being deleted, then you are probably recieving the message_id from the smsc in DLR reports. Look through your bearerbox.log (whatever has the most data) and look for a message that starts with " id:" -- these are delivery receipt messages, specialized SMS messages with delivery info. Here's what I do: Step 1. Put the contents of the message into a table. ie. phone number, message. This table has an auto-incrementing id. It also has a field for "dlr" which is a small int, defaults to 0. Step 2. I get the unique ID that the DB has given me for that row. THAT is my internal message ID. For example, this is ID 42. Step 3. I select the info from the DB for that row/ID, generate a DLR URL with one line that has this info in it: http://host/dlr.cgi?foo=%t&mysmsid=42&bar=%i Step 4. When my dlr.cgi is called, I see that the message referenced is #42. I go back to my DB, update that row with the type of message, as well as any other information. Step 5. Add ALL the %x escape codes you can and have your script email you the output when a DLR report is called so you can see what information is available to you when the DLR report is done. Try that out. Beckman ----------- Peter Beckman Internet Guy [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.purplecow.com/ ---

I guess i should start looking for some kannel hacker or someone who could help in changing code inside ./gw/dlr_mysql.c where all this happens. Anyone ? The DLR store, either internal or mysql, is not intended for your use, only for kannel. The purpose is to keep an entry in the store until the message is either reported as successfully delivered OR absolutely failed (I believe). Once they are delivered or failed, the need for the entry in the store is no longer needed (no more calls to the DLR URL will occur, etc). The DLR URL has a purpose -- to give you as much information about the delivery of a message to a script you write. That script can do all sorts of things, like make an entry in a DB table that is a clone of the Kannel MYSQL Store table. That's why the script you write to handle DLRs is so important, IF you want to keep that information. So make your dlr url a script, and write it to do what you asked. I highly doubt the kannel code will ever do this natively, because it isn't really a core function of kannel, it's just a feature which can be implemented by you.

I see the message_id feature is required by other users as well however no one seems to have gotten to it. I was kind of interested to explore the possibility of getting it done and then perhaps submit it to kannel development team for review. This way who so ever wants the feature will benefit from this. I am not, yet. I may need to become one to get this implemented, though there are many in the devel list that are more talented and better versed in the inner workings than I. There is a bit of a developer dispute on how to pass the message_id. Some feel that implementing the ts variable with the message_id will make the kannel code impure, since the ts variable is really for a timestamp, not an arbitrary message id. Evaluating the DLR URL at the time of storing the DLR for the message to replace an escape code with the message id has been poo-pooed as well as a hack. Adding a new variable that would not replace but be in addition to the ts variable has been suggested but sneered at since the bearerbox knows the message ID but the smsbox is responsible for calling the DLR url. The great thing about open source is that you can fuss with it yourself to make it work. The bad thing about open source is that when the core developers see a way around a problem (i.e. the DLR report from your SMSC give you the message ID without code modifications, so why modify the code that works just fine for both SMSC and direct phone connections), they don't regard the problem as highly. And usually the core developers are the heaviest users of their own code, and they haven't found a need to store the message ID (it seems, I'm presuming a lot here), so it hasn't been a priority. I wonder if cash thrown at the developers would maybe get a few arbitrary features put into kannel, done "the right way"...

Re: [Kannel-Users] Re: [Kannel-Users] message id
To reiterate, the ts value is not available for expansion in the dlr URL. It could be, but kannel does not currently implement this. You are welcome to rewrite kannel to do this. Beckman On Thu, 14 Apr 2005, Anand Gupta wrote: My smsc returns unique number always in the ts value. Thats where they have asked me to grab the message id from. -- regards, Anand Also depends on the type of connection you have with your provider/smsc. Using EMI/UCP protocol is know not to have a unique id to any message. Infact if your kannel will send more than one message in a single second, ts will confuse the DLR and the reply is not unique.

Re: [Kannel-Users] Re: [Kannel-Users] message id
Sorry, it's a little confusing.
There are two types of DLR reports -- the one kannel "fakes" and the one
from your SMSC.
Once your sms message makes it to the SMSC, kannel generates an ACK/
message and calls your DLR URL with the appropriate information. THIS DLR
DOES NOT CONTAIN THE MESSAGE ID YOU SEEK. The "box" that calls the URL
does not know what the message_id is.
However, when a Delivery Report text message comes in from your smsc...
id:GFN1421584 sub:001 dlvrd:001 submit date:0504142010 done date:0504142010
stat:UNDELIV err:PBD text:Thank you for your p
Then you have the message ID in the response. You'll have to write a regex
or something to grab the ID itself out of the message.

You can't get it, except from the log file, or via DLR.
There was a big fight over it a few months back, about protecting the code

I need you to start using some logic.
You connect to vodafone
you send an sms
you get an error, invalid service type
in your submit_sm you see this line:
2005-04-14 16:40:26 [9897] [7] DEBUG: service_type: ""
You need to find out what to set your service type to in order to send
messages to vodafone.
Go find out what the service type needs to be set to for vodafone. I
don't know what it is. Search google, call vodafone, email vodafone, try
some stuff in there, call some more people at vodafone.
This is a kannel configuration issue.

You must set 0x1402 to their carrier IDs in order from mblox to accept messages. Ask mblox about kannel-specific patches to kannel. To be more clearer, kannel must be modified to be able to send and receive the operator code (carrier ID) from mblox. Mblox has provided patches to kannel in the past for this, ask them about it. You must patch your code and recompile. If you installed from a binary, it will never work. You must grab the source, patch it on a linux system (or figure out how to patch on a different system), recompile. That is the only way. Beckman The specific error code I am getting (0x042a) is a routing error for PSMS. According to the MBlox support team this is because I am not sending through the operator ID.

Because it sure would be easier to specify multiple lines like this: pdu_special[1] = 0x1402|5|mblox_carrier and be able to have /cgi-bin/sendsms handle mblox_carrier as a passed variable, and also have the bearerbox/smsbox be able to grab and make available the data passed in the PDU at a specific offset. I'm just sayin. 'course if I had the time and talent, I would write it myself, and since I don't, I can't really gripe too much, since Kannel is world-class to begin with. Beckman PS -- As an aside, mblox carries traffic for a large US ringtone business, and their marketing/promotions pushes can negatively affect your traffic -- delays, outages, downtime, etc. There are also lots of outages, both carrier and mblox related.

Re: [Kannel-Users] Kannel and MBlox
First off, read documentation. Mblox specific error codes would quickly identify what this error code is: 2005-04-04 15:28:14 [6] ERROR: SMPP[smsc1]: SMSC returned error code 0x042a in response to submit_sm. You have to install mblox specific code. You must set 0x1402 to their carrier IDs in order from mblox to accept messages. Ask mblox about kannel-specific patches to kannel. This allows me to bring up the issue that kannel doesn't have the facility to add a config line(s) to handle both sending and receiving messages and being able to set and retrieve aggregator/carrier/SMSC specific coding of the PDU. Because it sure would be easier to specify multiple lines like this: pdu_special[1] = 0x1402|5|mblox_carrier and be able to have /cgi-bin/sendsms handle mblox_carrier as a passed variable, and also have the bearerbox/smsbox be able to grab and make available the data passed in the PDU at a specific offset. I'm just sayin. 'course if I had the time and talent, I would write it myself, and since I don't, I can't really gripe too much, since Kannel is world-class to begin with. Beckman PS -- As an aside, mblox carries traffic for a large US ringtone business, and their marketing/promotions pushes can negatively affect your traffic -- delays, outages, downtime, etc. There are also lots of outages, both carrier and mblox related. Make sure you queue on your side, and if mblox (or any aggregator for that matter) drops messages you've already sent to them and they've accepted (but later lose), you can resend. It's a wild ride.

Re: [Kannel-Users] Re: smpp DLR problem
Tom -- The message ID is handed to you in HEX, 459D58BB -> 1167939771 (hex to binary). Your DLR report (delivery receipt) comes with id:1167939771 thus matching your message. http://kannel.org/download/1.3.2/userguide-1.3.2/userguide.html#AEN1535 Look at msg-id-type. This tells kannel about the type of message id the remote SMSC will give you, and the type of message id it will use in the return DLR report. For you, you need to set msg-id-type to 0x01, where submit_sm_resp message_id is in hex, and deliver_sm is in decimal. Add this to your smsc config in your kannel config: msg-id-type 0x01 Reboot (ugh I hate that) kannel. Make sense? I recently figured this out too (ok, by reading the mail archives...)

Re: [Kannel-Users] Re: Distributing crime alerts via SMS
Another way is, if you are sending less than 50 messages a day, via carrier
email gateways.
In the US, almost every phone has a unique email address. Sprint is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tmobile is something like
[EMAIL PROTECTED] You get the idea. Knowing the MSISDN (phone
number) of the user and their carrier would allow you to generate email
messages that would be sent to the users phone as a text message.
Benefits? No cost, no gateway to set up or manage, no expensive deals
($2000/month or a high price per message, like .10c US) with aggregators.
Cons? Not reliable delivery always, carrier could block your sending
address or IP block for any or no reason if you sent too many messages, no
contacts with/through the carriers.
You can handle opting in and out with web forms, or have users send a
properly formed email from their phones. Or use a WAP site (recommend
php-based hawhaw.inc library to get started) to allow them to
unsubscribe/subscribe.
You will run into number portability issues -- someone says they are on
AT&T, then they switch to tmobile later and never tell you -- you still
send to at&t and they never get the alert. There is a DB run by neustar
for US number portability dips, but that also costs $$$, but they give you
the carrier for any US cell number.

We are interested in using SMS on campus to deliver crime alerts to mobile

obviously need to have their phone number. Do we also need to collect who
their wireless carrier is, or is the number sufficient?
Actually you either need their MSISDNs (mobile station numbers) or let them
"opt-in/out" to the service via SMS itself. Like letting them send "alert
crime start" for having them subscribing to the "list" and "alert crime stop"
for unsubscribing. Just an example.
AFAIK, the US has also number portability, which means you can't identify the
operator of a MSISDN via it's network prefix. So, it "may" be hard to
determine their operator without having access to a number portablity
database. (which I know of the VeriSign telecom group is operating in Kansas
City).
Our campus computing infrastructure runs on Sun Solaris Unix and Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. We are not interested in running a Windows server based
product.
same with us ;)
We will probably have to establish a relationship with a SMSC in order to
deliver these SMS messages to students. How does one go about finding
appropriate vendors for doing this?
Now, you basically have 2 alternatives:
a) connect to every carrier you want to support. Which is the "hard way".
Espacially in the US, where carriers still have some issues with
european-well-known protocols like SMPP and/or EMI/UCP.
This would imply that when your application receives an SMS MO (mobile
originated) with a subscribtion request, you get also "the route" of the
message and hence the orginating carrier for the MSISDN.
b) us an aggregator, which leaverages the difficulties of option a) for you.
You only connect to that aggregator and route message transparently to the
various carries via the aggregator.
Decission matrix for a) or b) depends on cost, performance and reliablility
of the aggregator.

Kannel's dlr-url will only return the message-id embedded in the deliver_sm, not from the submit_sm_resp. Kannel's bearerbox will use the message-id from the submit_sm_resp to generate and entry in its own dlr-url lookup table. But, again, this information is not forwarded to you via the dlr-url. That's the question. Why, if the in submit_sm_resp does the message_id come over in, does the generated URL by kannel for the dlr report (type=8 is generated by kannel, NOT the SMSC) not include the message_id, passed exactly how the SMSC passed it? Let the user handle the conversion from hex to decimal, or a string or whatnot. Why does kannel not pass it then if it stores it in the DLR db? Therefore, if your SMPP operator is not returning the message-id in the short_message part of the deliver_sm (i.e. message body of a regular SMS...I call it the old embedded method), then the information must be conveyed through the Tag-Length-Value (TLV) optional parameters (specifically TLV 0x001E [receipted_message_id]). This problem has NOTHING to do with the SMPP operator. Kannel in version 1.3.2 and later calls the DLR URL with type=8 when the SMPP operator accepts (ACK/'s) the message. KANNEL generates the above message, not the SMPP operator. If you can also post to the list the deliver_sm decoding, then we can get a better idea what happened. It appears to me that your provider might be generating non-standard DLRs (hence the message-id of da03662a-731a-4e22-8a18-2d982663eb4f). I don't know where that message ID comes from... I assume it is kannel's primary key for the store table (internal storage I assume, since the primary key would be an int). Or it could be an MD5 hash of something. Whatever it is, it seems to be useless. I, too, would find getting the remote SMSC message ID in the kannel-generated DLR report at submit_sm_resp success very useful and handy, since not all SMSC's and carriers in the US do further delivery receipts, unlike Europe.

Re: [Kannel-Users] Optimizing the way of sending Bulk SMS to Kannel. Help!

My actual php process for sending sms to smsbox is doing the following steps: 1- Validates the request for sending an SMS. 2- Inserts the SMS request id into the datadabase (an autoincrement id that corresponds to the smsid). 3- Sends the sms to the smsbox (an http get request to Kannel http://IP/cgi-bin/sendsms), using also the dlr mask and the dlrurl: http://IP/mydlr.php?smsid... so that Kannel can correlate the right DLR to the right smsid. So far so good! My question now , is when I have thousands of sms requests to send, which means thousands of get http and so thousands of sockets opened to 13013. How can avoid this? Is this going to degrade my HTTP server performance? How can I have only one smsbox socket 13013 opened while I'm sending bulk sms? It won't degrade your separate HTTP server performance (ie. Apache running on port 80/443). Since you are connecting probably to local.ip or localhost TCP sockets shouldn't be too big of a worry, so no, probably no degredation. We are using DLR urls as well, doesn't seem to be a problem. We are sending 16,000+ messages a day through kannel with no sweat, using the 13013 HTTP port. ------- Peter Beckman Internet Guy [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.purplecow.com/ ---
Re: [Kannel-Users] dlr status
Kannel ALWAYS returns a DLR report to the DLR-URL you specify. It is to allow you to receive a delivery report AFTER you successfully submit your SMS to the smsbox. The smsbox responds with "Sent." even though the message hasn't even gotten to the bearerbox. Once the Bearerbox processes the message, attempts delivery to the SMSC, and it succeeds, it generates a delivery report with DLR status of 8, queued at SMSC. If it fails, kannel generates a DLR of 16, usually with a NACK/SOME REASON/1354 in the msg: area. This is useful because now you know that although the smsbox said your message was sent, the SMS was actually accepted by the remote SMSC. Ideally when your SMSC gets the message and passes it successfully to the carrier, you would get a DLR of 4, and once it gets to the handset successfully, a DLR of 1.

PHP WML Library Review: HAWHAW
So I've been working on doing a bunch of WAP stuff, and got sick of trying
to output WAP code in PHP. I started looking around for PHP libraries that
implemented WAP on a level that was beyond my experience, did a lot of
stuff that was cool/interesting, and that was actively maintained.
I found HAWHAW, the "HTML and WML hybrid adapted Webserver -- a toolkit to
create universal mobile applications."
Now at first, I was thinking "I really don't want another webserver." No
worries, it's not, although you could call it that.
Anyway, you can download it here:
http://www.hawhaw.de/
HAWHAW is really more than just a WML library though. It allowed me to
build a really nice application with minimal WML/XHTML work. It
automagically detects what the browser can handle -- HTML, WML, HDML, VXML
-- and then what kind of output you might want -- bigscreen, wap, hdml,
pda, imode, mml, voicexml, xhtml, lynx, up (for UP browser), owgui
(Openwave GUI), and pxv (Public Voice XML) -- and displays a great looking
deck/page in any case I could throw at it.
This is a fantasic way to be able to write a single app that will handle
the user in an intelligent fashion.
A sample doc:
$url = "/download/link";
$page = new HAW_deck("Page Title");
$page->set_bgcolor("white");
$page->set_disp_bgcolor("white");
$page->set_border(1);
$page->disable_cache();
$logo = new HAW_image("/images/logo.wbmp", "/images/logo.gif", "Logo");
$logo->set_br(1);
$page->add_image($logo);
$page->add_text(new HAW_text("Content Download", HAW_TEXTFORMAT_BOXED));
$text1 = new HAW_text($title." is now available for download. ");
$text1->set_br(1);
$page->add_text($text1);
$page->add_link(new HAW_link("Download NOW!", $url));
$page->create_page();
And it looks great on my phone, my friends Treo, and in my browser, without
any more thought than what I want to say.
Anyway, I'm using it, and I think it is great, and thought I would share.

When we cannot use DLR's, due to an added traffic cost for the SMSC, this is a near perfect solution for an ESME. I suggest simply logging the message_id, no need to be part of the DLR mechanism. Well, I don't know how you would be able to store it otherwise, except in the log files. Frankly I'd rather have both (put the message ID in the log file as well as pass it back via the DLR). Right now I: 1. Queue the message by putting the info into a table in my DB. 2. Grab the row in the db and attempt delivery. 3. If successful, I get a DLR generated by Kannel which passes back a DLR value of 8 (queued successfully). 4. If not successful, I get a DLR of 16 generated by kannel which tells me that the message was rejected by my SMSC and why. 5. When the DLR is called, I update my table row with the important information about that message. If the kannel-generated DLR report was able to include the remote message ID, I could update my table row with that information, creating a permanant record of the SMSC message ID to my internal message ID, enabling troubleshooting of a single message to be MUCH easier. Right now kannel generates its own DLR report upon success or failure of the message being sent to the SMSC (since the SMSBOX has accepted it already as at least being a valid looking message). That is where I would want to see the message_ID passed (if the message was accepted/queued). On DLR reports generated by actual delivery receipts from the carriers/aggregators, the message_ID would be blank, allowing up to deal with it how you will in your own DLR php script.

Here again my question, my company got 4 accounts from operator. 1 account to receive and the 3 others are for transmit which each for different charging. Wow. That sounds like overkill... but what do I know. I have tried to make several connection to the operator's smsc, only the 1st account successfully logged on, the others return Invalid System ID, please help me guys. This is equivelent to "Username not found" or "Username rejected" or something like that. What kannel calls "user" or "username" is really what the remote SMPP server considers the "System ID". So, this error is telling you that you have either mistyped your "username" or that the SMSC has not set up your "username" yet. And if I have successfully connect those 4 connections, what is the next step so that every request correctly charged, do I only need to add parameter smsc=smsc-id on the sendsms script? Or any other configuration need inside kannel.conf? Thank you very much. What I do is set up a sendsms-user for each smsc, usually setting the user equal to the smsc-id I've set up. That way, let's say I log into the sendsms script as "mobileway" -- the way I have it set up is that the user mobileway will only send to smsc mobileway. There are probably several other ways, but that I've found was the easiest. Beckman --- Peter Beckman Internet Guy [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.purplecow.com/ ---

Retrieving the SMSC Message ID for a queued message
There's been a lot of talk on the list about DLRs, delivery reports, dlr-urls, dlrurls, etc. One thing I find sorely missing from the functionality of the delivery report is the SMSC's message ID.

Re: DLR URL not called [SOLVED] [BUG?]
Don't you love to answer your own questions? So it turns out that if you leave smsbox-id off, the DLR call to dlr-url will not be called or run or fetched or requested vai POST or GET. (mmm, keywords for searching mail archives...) -xx-xx xx:xx:xx [x] [y] DEBUG: DLR[internal]: Adding DLR smsc=x, ts=abcdef12, src=x, dst=xxx, mask=31, boxc= -xx-xx xx:xx:xx [x] [y] DEBUG: SMSC[x]: creating DLR message -xx-xx xx:xx:xx [x] [y] DEBUG: SMSC[x]: DLR = http://xxx.xxx/dlr.php?smsid=x&time=%t&to=%P&type=%d&smscr=%A&msgno=%I&&resp=%a Hmmm, boxc is empty. DLR is not called because of it. Also in another case, I had forced the source_ton and source_npi improperly, and my dst=(NULL) which probably also would have stopped the DLR from being called, even internally by kannel. When I removed the forcing of source_npi and source_ton, dst=xxx worked again. When I added smsbox-id to my smsbox conf, DLR internally and externally worked. Should this be considered a bug?

SMSC Error causes thread to terminate and SMPP connection to die?
The background: Back when I was running 1.3.1, when my remote SMSC disconnected or gave me an error, kannel happily respected it, logged it, and tried again in $reconnect-dely seconds. Now when the SMSC throws an error, Kannel kills the thread, never to be connected to again without manual intervention. This is HORRIBLE!

Re: [Kannel-Users] SMSC Connection Errors
It means that the remote host was online, then went offline without telling you (ie sending an unbind). The whole "reset by peer" is pretty standard, when they are trying to bring their system back online, or if there is a firewall between you and them that is stopping you. In fact, your error messages are similar if not identical to messages I get when my remote SMPP host goes down with no apparent reason. All it means is that the remote SMPP server is offline, and that you'll either have to wait for it to come back online (and when it does Kannel usually reconnects automagically), or call whomever is running it and tell them that it is offline.

If it is accepted by the SMSbox (this does NOT mean that the bearerbox sent the SMS successfully), then all you'll receive back from the HTTP sendsms cgi is "Sent." That's it, nothing more, nothing less. And all you are getting it from is the SMSbox, which makes sure your message is formatted correctly, does some sanity checking, and if everything SEEMS in order, your message is sent to the bearerbox. Bearerbox is responsible for actual delivery. If your message is rejected by the SMSC, you still will see "Sent." when you submit your SMS, but it really isn't "Sent." to the SMSC, just "Sent." to the bearerbox for further processing. Get it? Check your bearerbox.log or your bearer-access.log (which you should be using to debug) to see if the message was successfully sent to the SMSC.

Set up an sms-service group that calls a URL with the text of the message and the mobile number and the short code. The URL is a PHP script. Then you can split out the $to, $from and $text into variables, parse them, cut them, dice them, spit them out, fart on them and generally do whatever you like with them. To respond, use the HTTP SMS thingy in kannel, pass the $from and $to (backwards), change the $text and off you go. It really is easy. There are people on the list willing to accept monetary reward for doing it for you if you feel this is necessary.

Re: [Kannel-Users] HTTP sendsms interface always return "Sent." ???
When you use the HTTP portion of the smsbox to send your SMS, you are getting a response from the smsbox, not the bearerbox. The smsbox takes your message, checks to see that you have all the minimum necessary variables set and set correctly, then accepts the message, and tells you that it as accepted the message by replying with "Sent." The bearerbox is completely separate. This is when the DLR comes into usefulness -- to find out if the message was accepted by the SMSC or not. I put each message into a mysql database, and use the primary key as the smsid in my DLR url, then wrote a PHP script to update the row for that SMS with the DLR and any other information passed back by the DLR report URL.

When a new sms is created, I insert it into smslog. The DLR url is:
$url = "http://host.com/dlr.php?smsid=".$smsid."&type=%d&to=%P&time=%t";;
$mask = 31;
In PHP, dlr.php:
Pconnect("localhost","88","88","kannel");
$my->execute("update smslog set dlr=".$_REQUEST['type']." where
smsid=".$_REQUEST['smsid']);
$sql = "update smslog set dlr=".$_REQUEST['type']." where smsid=".$_REQUEST['smsid'];
#mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "DLR Report",
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']."\n".$sql."\n".print_r($_REQUEST,1), "From: [EMAIL
PROTECTED]");
If you want the DLR to be mailed, uncomment the mail line.
If you want the DLR to update a DB, use the above.

I just don't think that the mysql/ directory should be there in the include lines. The problem is that the mysql install from source (not using rpm's) puts it in /usr/local/mysql (then /lib, /include, etc). So while all of my headers were found: /usr/local/mysql/include/mysql.h /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a When included in the source, it tried to include: mysql/mysql.h which doesn't exist. I say get rid of the preceding mysql/ so gcc can look for mysql.h in the -I specified directories for it. That way I can specify -I /usr/local/mysql/include and gcc will find it. Right now, gcc is looking in ./mysql/mysql.h, /usr/local/mysql/include/mysql/mysql.h, etc. That's silliness. #include mysql.h; Much better.

That's because the smsbox has successfully queued it with YOUR SMS Gateway. The DLR's purpose is to report back when the bearerbox sends the message to the SMSC. Smsbox would have to block messages from being accepted and would be significantly slower if it had to wait to see what the bearerbox did with it. smsbox will always reply "Sent" unless you had something wrong, like a bad user. DLR's purpose is to let you know when the message was sent to the SMSC. If you set the DLR when you send your message to the SMSbox/sendsms, then when the message is finally sent, the DLR URL will be called and you will be notified (if you've set up your DLR URL to notify you in some way). To reiterate -- sendsms and the smsbox only accept valid messages and respond as "sent" but the sent refers to sending to the bearerbox, not that the message was successfully sent to the SMSC. THE DLR URL is what is used to notify "you" of a success or failure in sending that sms to the SMSC. Beckman ------- Peter Beckman Internet Guy [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.purplecow.com/ ---

I use a DLR to invoke an HTTP-GET when the message is delivered/deleted or whatnot. The bearerbox handles whether or not the message is actually delivered to the SMSC, and thus should give you a DLR report on that message when the smsc connection does become available. See dlrmask and dlrurl in the kannel.org documentation. Since you can write a script to handle the DLR URL GET, you can put it in a database or update a row in a DB based on the ID you put in your DLR URL. With my messages, the DLR URL looks like this: http://host/dlr.php?smsid=%d&; some other stuff I can't remember. Before I "send" the message to the smsbox I insert a row with an SMS id (auto-incremented). That is the ID I include in the dlrurl variable I pass to sendsms.

No clue if this will help, but... Maybe manually parse the URL and convert spaces to %20 (I think that's a space) or a "+" sign before passing it to Kannel. beckman --- Peter Beckman Internet Guy [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.purplecow.com/ ---
How to send an SCKL message to a phone using Kannel
I'm posting stuff like this to make it easier for newbies like myself to take less time in doing what I've already done. If that made sense, keep reading. First off, get this sweet package from Mike Kohn: http://ringtonetools.mikekohn.net/ Once you do that, you can convert pretty much any format to nokia smart messaging format (using the UDH) or the SCKL format, for phones on a TDMA or CDMA network. An RTTTL (or some people write it as RTTL) converted to Nokia SCKL format looks like this: //SCKL1581010301 024A3A619DBDD1... //SCKL1581010302 6498498A36C592... //SCKL1581010303 BA0BA12420B22C... To send using kannel, set your message, NOT IN BINARY, as that string. Usually most RTTTL files end up being 2-3 SMS messages, so you'll have to send each line in a different SMS message. Your URL would look like: http://xxx.xx.xxx.xxx:13013/cgi-bin/sendsms?user=test&pass=foo&to=%2B15715551212&text=%2F%2FSCKL1581010301+024A3A619DBDD1 Obviously you'd have more past the D1, but you get the idea. Now off to figure out how to send operator logos... Beckman ------- Peter Beckman Internet Guy [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.purplecow.com/ ---
