Configuring Kannel WAP/SMS gateway (for HUAWEI E173)

Once you have installed Kannel, then you need to configure it for your device. I used a Huawei E173. And my OS is ubuntu 11.10

Go to /etc/Kannel/Kannel.conf and edit it like follows.

Here is my configuration file.



Here, to find the device in group smsc, I checked, /var/log/syslog. It shows when we plug a device in.

After configuration is done,

sudo bearerbox -v 0 kannel.conf
sudo smsbox -v 0 kannel.conf

If this not the first time and previous processes are still running, you need to kill them first. To do that,
first find the relevant processes by,

ps -ef|grep bearerbox
ps -ef|grep smsbox

Then kill them.

eg:
If the process ID is 914,
sudo kill -9 914

Now once you get bearer box and sms box running, try sending a message
