Thanks for the answers. However, I still experience weird behaviour. I
use bearerbox version `cvs-20040311', and tried both ways, with these
results:
1. "forced-smsc"
Added "forced-smsc = mw" to my sendsms-user group, and worked fine.
But, having a forced smsc would mean that all sms would be sent
through that smsc, IF coming from the same username/password defined
in the sendsms-user group. So, I thought to define a new sendsms-user
group, with a different username/password and forced-smsc. Something
like this:
group = sendsms-user
username = mw_un
password = mw_pw
forced-smsc = mw
group = sendsms-user
username = alac_un
password = alac_pw
forced-smsc = alac
This way, theoretically the "mw" smsc would be used if I call this
(partial) URL: cgi-bin/sendsms?username=mw_un&password=mw_pw
And the "alac" smsc would be used if I call this (partial) URL:
cgi-bin/sendsms?username=alac_un&password=alac_pw
Is that how I am supposed to differentiate the SMSCs by using
different URLs? I thought that would be logical, but using the above
conf, only the "alac" smsc is used, regardless what username/password
I specify in the URL :( Even if I use "forced-smsc = mw" in BOTH
sendsms-user groups, still "alac" is used. It seems when there are 2
sendsms-user groups defined, somehow Kannel gets confused with my
conf. Is there anything weird in my conf file ? (copy is at the end of
this message)
2. "smsc-id"
I also tried using smsc-id=mw in the URL, but on its own this is not
useful. According to the user guide:
"Note that if SMS Center connection has an assigned SMSC ID, it does
NOT automatically mean that messages with identical SMSC ID are routed
to it; instead configuration variables denied-smsc-id, allowed-smsc-id
and preferred-smsc-id is used for that."
So, I tried specifying these configuration variables, like this:
group = smsc
smsc-id = mw
allowed-sms-id = mw
...
group = smsc
smsc-id = alac
allowed-sms-id = alac
...
But, regardless of what I specify in the URL ("smsc-id=mw" or
"smsc-id=alac"), the Kannel status doesn't show which smsc connection
was used to send the sms (I get "rcvd 0, sent 0" for both smsc),
although in the console I can see that the sms was reported as 'sent'.
When I specify preferred-smsc-id instead of allowed-sms-id, Kannel
status reports that sms were sent, but only through the alac SMSC,
even if I specify "smsc-id=mw" in the URL.
What could be wrong, and how do you guys use denied-smsc-id,
allowed-smsc-id and preferred-smsc-id to achieve the desired effect?
Thanks for any hints!
