If your SMS provider has a similar set up to ours on SMPP then it is probably a parameter that they need to determine who is connecting etc and allow one client (with one log on) connect to with multiple services and multiple short codes.

we have found that if we put the service type parameter into the system-type =" ____ " it works if like us you have multiple service types with your provider, this means you will have to repeat the group for each service type.

e.g we have a load balanced set of IPs for connecting to pick up MOs so we have groups for those but where system-type really comes in is for our MT profiles .. we have long numbers and short numbers at different charging rates so we have a group for each of those .. where the profile is sent in the system-type variable.

in short you should probably replace

system-type = "SMPP"

with

system-type = "[whatever you service-type param is]"


hope this helps ..

all the best

Dear Kannel Users,

I get the folowing problem using kannel for the first time:
In order to connect to a US gateway by SMPP, I have to supply a parameter
"service_type",
but I can't see what parameter I have to set in the kannel configuration
file.


Here is the sample:

group = smsc
smsc = smpp
smsc-id = "US_MT_classic"
host = smpp.mt.us.mblox.com
port = 3203
smsc-username = "xxxxxxxx"
smsc-password = "xxxxxxxx"
system-type = "SMPP"
address-range = ""
interface-version = 0x34


I tried to add a parameter "service-type", but Kannel doesn't seem to accept
it.


Could you please help me ?

Thanks to user for help, and to developers for this great software,

Regards,
Matthias E.
