Chapter 4. Setting up a WAP gateway
This chapter tells you how to set Kannel up as a WAP gateway.
WAP gateway configuration
To set up a WAP Kannel, you have to edit the ’core’ group in the configuration file, and define the
’wapbox’ group.
You must set following variables for the ’core’ group: wapbox-port and wdp-interface-name. See
previous chapter about details of these variables.
With standard distribution, a sample configuration file wapkannel.conf is supplied. You may want to
take a look at that when setting up a WAP Kannel.
Wapbox configuration
If you have set wapbox-port variable in the ’core’ configuration group, you MUST supply a ’wapbox’
group.
The simplest working ’wapbox’ group looks like this:
group = wapbox
bearerbox-host = localhost
There is, however, multiple optional variables for the ’wapbox’ group.
