Building SMS Gateway using UBUNTU
Project Name : SMS Gateway using UBUNTU
Hi all, now I am building sms gateway using UBUNTU.
$ uname -a
kernel Linux hardcorepolice 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
I am using Nokia 6100 and DKU-5 as connector, free sms gateway source by Kannel version 1.4.3
source : http://www.kannel.org/download/1.4.3/gateway-1.4.3.tar.gz
download the source file, then extract it DO NOT compile. I only get the modems.conf from it
$ tar -zxvf gateway-1.4.3.tar.gz
The modems.conf located in gateway-1.4.3/doc/examples/modems.conf
Debian repository
Debian/apt repository is available at http://www.litux.org/debian.
Just apt-get install kannel for stable release or apt-get install kannel-devel for development release.
$ sudo apt-get install kannel
$ cp gateway-1.4.3/doc/examples/modems.conf /etc/kannel/
$ sudo gedit /etc/kannel/kannel.conf
#
# Sample configuration file for Kannel bearerbox on Debian.

# change my-number and sms-center to the appropriate cell service provider number
my-number = xxx

username = simple
password = elpmis
group = sendsms-user
$ bearerbox -v 1 kannel.conf
Open another terminal window
$ smsbox -v 1 kannel.conf
Yes, you will see warnings and errors, but dont worry that all run properly.
You may configure all things you want.
Test your send sms using Internet browser :
http://localhost:13013/cgi-bin/sendsms?username=simple&password=elpmis&dlr-mask=31&text=Hello%20world&sender=Helpdesk&to=TARGETPHONE
wait a moment , there will be incoming sms in TARGETPHONE , cek your inbox.
SMS gateway run successfully.
Thats all for now, be back later.

Incoming SMS log ?
I think you can create your own log. That is very simple.
Here it goes.
first, add/replace sms-service something like below :
group = sms-service
keyword-regex= .*
catch-all = yes
max-messages = 1
get-url = “http://domainnameyahoo.info/sms/sms.php?phone=%p&text=%a”
then, you create sms.php file within sms directory.
# cat sms.php
< ?phpextract($_GET);
// phone=%p&text=%a"
// echo "telp :".$phone." ";
// echo "text :".$text;
//-------------------------
// Write your own log method here, you may use mysql or text file database.
//----------------------------
$info = " Sent from domainnameyahoo.info";
if ( $phone!="" || $text != "" ){
if (trim(strtolower($text)) == "status" ){
// check server status
}
echo $info;
}
// all echo syntax will be reply-to sender
?>
I hope that will help.

everything sounds OK , except for the bearerbox error and warning.
I tried to send an sms by hitting this URL:
*
http://localhost:13013/cgi-bin/sendsms?username=playsms&password=aaaaa&to=+62818095*****&text=test&from=test
**
*and the page result *3: Queued for later delivery*
after I checked the smsbox, it displayed:

I guess the smsbox waits for bearebox to connect to SMSC successfully, but
the bearerbox still cannot connect.
*2009-04-15 18:24:44 [9679] [6] ERROR: AT2[itegno]: Couldn’t connect

does anyone have solution about this issue??
thank you

Hi Chamira,
When I see your log above, the error part is begin with this line.
2009-04-15 18:24:44 [9679] [6] ERROR: AT2[itegno]: Couldn’t connect
I believe this is error when connecting to your cellphone device. Please re-check your kannel.conf file, especially this line.
device = /dev/ttyUSB0
modemtype = auto
Note:
ttyUSB0 is your modem connection type.
Confused ? use #dmesg for more information.
First, disconnect your modem connection cable (DKU-5) from your PC. Then from Unix terminal, type : # dmesg
At the last line, you will see that the cable is unplugged.
Plug the cable to USB, and see again on # dmesg
You will see what USB was used for the connection.

By The Way, kannel will try to reconnect your modem.
So, every time it try to reconnect kannel will always logged the status. Thats why the log is looping for errors.

Hi,
Is it possible to send sms using terminal?
Comment by kim | September 1, 2010
Hi Kim,
It should be possible, kim.
I never try it.
Kannel is listening in standart port 13013 and already built a cgi program to easily sending sms.
I am not good in CGI language. Perhaps anyone expert in CGI can help our friend here ?
Btw, Why do you want to send it using terminal ?
What do you planning to ? maybe we can find another options rather than using terminal.
