Chapter 5. Setting up a SMS Gateway
Variable
Value
Description
unified-prefix
prefix-list
String to unify received phone
numbers, for SMSC routing and
to ensure that SMS centers can
handle them properly. This is
applied to ’sender’ number when
receiving SMS messages from
SMS Center and for ’receiver’
number when receiving messages
from SMSbox (either sendsms
message or reply to original
message). Format is that first
comes the unified prefix, then all
prefixes which are replaced by
the unified prefix, separated with
comma (’,’). For example, for
Finland an unified-prefix
"+358,00358,0;+,00" should do
the trick. If there are several
unified prefixes, separate their
rules with semicolon (’;’), like
"+35850,050;+35840,040".
Note
that prefix routing is next to
useless now that there are SMSC
ID entries. To remove prefixes,
use like
"-,+35850,050;-,+35840,040".
alt-charset
number
As some SMS Centers do not
follow the standards in character
coding, an
alt-charset
character conversion is
presented. This directive acts
different for specific SMSC
tyles. Please see your SMSC
module type you want to use for
more details.
In addition to these common variables there are several variables used by certain SMS center
connections. Each currently supported SMS center type is explained below, with configuration group for
each. Note that many of them use variables with same name, but most also have some specific variables.
NOTE: SMS center configuration variables are a bit incomplete, and will be updated as soon as people
responsible for the protocols are contacted. Meanwhile, please have patience.
Nokia CIMD 1.37 and 2.0
Support for CIMD 1.37 is quite old and will be removed in a future version of Kannel. Please let us know
if you still need it.
