Chapter 8. Using SSL f or HTTP This chapter explains ho w you can use SSL to ensure secure HTTP communication on both, client and server side. Bew are that the gatew ay , is acting in both roles of the HTTP model: 1. as HTTP client, i.e. for requesting URLs while acting as W AP gate way and while fetching information for the SMS services. 2. as HTT[...]

Deliv ery reports are a method to tell your system if the message has arriv ed on the destination phone. There are different things which can happen to a message on the w ay to the phone which are: • Message gets rejected by the SMSC (unknown s[...]

Chapter 10.

Appendix B. Using the fake SMS center Fakesmsc is a simple testing tool to test out Kannel and its SMS services. It cannot be used to send messages to mobile terminals, it is just a simulated SMS center with no connection to real terminals. Setting up fakesmsc This section sums up needed steps to set up system for fakesmsc use. Compiling fakesmsc T[...]

Appendix B. Using the fake SMS center Options and messages are explained belo w , but as a quick example, a typical startup can go like this: test/fakesmsc -i 0.1 -m 100 "100 200 text nop" "100 300 text echo this" This tells fakesmsc to connect to bearerbox at localhost:10000 (def ault) and send a hundred messages with an interv[...]

Appendix B. Using the fake SMS center Switch V alue Description -m max Send a maximum of max messages. V alue -1 means that an unlimited number of messages is sent. Default -1.
