Chapter 5. Setting up a SMS Gateway
account string
Account name or number to
carry forward for billing
purposes. This field is logged as
ACT in the log file so it allows
you to do some accounting on it
if your front end uses the same
username for all services but
wants to distinguish them in the
log. In the case of a HTTP
SMSC type the account name is
prepended with the servicename
(username) and a colon (:) and
forwarded to the next insta ce of
kannel. This allows hierarchical
accounting.
Notes:
a. To set number of messages, use mwi=[1-4]&coding=1&udh=%04%01%02%<XX>%<YY>, where
YY are the number of messages, in HEX, and XX are mwi-1 plus 0xC0 if text field is not empty.
Using the HTTP interface to send OTA configuration
messages
OTA messages can be sent to mobile phones or devices to auto-configure the settings for WAP. They are
actually complex SMS messages with UDH and sent as concatenated messages if too long (and compiled
if necessary).
You may either pass an HTTP request as GET method or POST method to the HTTP interface.
If you want to send a configuration that is defined within Kannel’s configuration file itself you have to
pass a valid ota-id value otherwise the content of the request will be compiled to as OTA message.
GET method for the OTA HTTP interface
An example URL (OTA configuration defined in the Kannel configuration file):
http://smsbox.host.name:13013/cgi-bin/sendota?
otaid=myconfig&username=foo&password=bar&to=0123456
URL containing XML document looks like this (you must URL encode it before sending it over HTTP):
http://smsbox.host.name:13013/cgi-bin/sendota?
username=foo&password=bar&to=0123456&
text=MyURLEncodedXMLdocument&type=settings
