Dear Stipe, Thanks for clearing my understanding. Actually I have to make a SMSC. Currently I have made an with which can send receive sms from / to mobile station on MAP SS7 I have also the open implementation of SMPP v3.4. I really can't understand how to interface both of them (SMPP and MAP SS7) Is not there any protocol to convert MAP messages to SMPP? Or any gateway that come in between the SS7 Map layer and SMPP?
Looking forward; Nauman -----Original Message----- From: Stipe Tolj [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 9:07 PM To: nauman Cc: users@kannel.org Subject: Re: kannel n ss7 nauman wrote: > Hi, > How can kannel can send /receive sms to / from mobile station? > I mean mobile station sends data to operators network on SS7 link. > Can it be integrated with SS7 networks? No... the SS7 layer is beneith the layers Kannel has access to. The device signals via SS7 layer towards the SMSC of the carrier. The SMSC moves the message the layer "up" to SMPP or EMI/UCP or any other IP based protocol, where Kannel comes in touch. There have been "ideas" in merging OpenSS7 and Kannel into a generic open source SMSC. As far as I know, there are some real world implementations that let special Kannel versions grep into the scope of SS7 layer, but those are not open to the public. They are developed and used by companies that move huge ammount of messages.
