Never set alt-dcs for binary data. It will strip it to 7-bit and send it
over GSM, corrupting it in the process.

Subject: Specifying dcs and pid fields when sending binary sms
Hi
I have following binary data generated by a different sms gateway which
corresponds to an OTA message.
binary data =
EB0601B6030B6A00C54601C655018707060374634D61696C416363657373706F696E740001871106034163636573735F4E415049440001871006AB01870806037070776170000187090689018714010101
udh = 0605040B8423F0
DCS = F5
pid = 00
I need to send these binary data over kannel and I'm using the following GET
call for the purpose
http://localhost:13013/cgi-bin/sendsms?username=*****&password=*****&to=**********&text=EB0601B6030B6A00C54601C655018707060374634D61696C416363657373706F696E740001871106034163636573735F4E415049440001871006AB01870806037070776170000187090689018714010101&udh=%06%05%04%0B%84%23%F0&coding=0
But the supposed OTA message is not received at all.
I also tried appending a alt-dcs parameter with a value of 1 but is still
not working.
I'm copy pasting the relevant line from kannel access log
2011-04-08 10:25:04 Sent SMS [SMSC:AT2[/dev/ttyUSB1]] [SVC:*****] [ACT:]

[udh:7:0605040B8423F0]
Can anyone guess why the OTA message is not sent correctly? The Only thing I
can think is a problem with dcs and pid options. Can anyone help as to how
to supply dcs and pid values?
Thanks
Kasun
