Nokia WAP and SMS gateway manual Installing the gateway Install or upgrade the DEB package

Page 18

Chapter 2. Installing the gateway

3. Install or upgrade the DEB package:

dpkg -i kannel-VERSION .deb

Removing Kannel

1.Log in as root:

2.Remove the package keeping configuration files:

dpkg --remove kannel

3. Remove the package completely:

dpkg --purge kannel

After you have installed Kannel from the DEB packages you should now be able to run the Kannel init.d script that will start Kannel as a WAP gateway. Run the script as root.

/etc/init.d/kannel start

To stop the gateway just run the same script with the stop parameter.

/etc/init.d/kannel stop

If Kannel is already running and you just want to quickly stop and start the gateway,e.g.to set a new configuration option, run the script with the restart parameter.

/etc/init.d/kannel restart

If you don’t want Kannel to run as a daemon, run:

update-rc.d -f kannel remove

If you want to restore Kannel runing as a daemon, you need to add a symbolic link to the Kannel script from the runlevel you want Kannel to run in. E.g. to run Kannel in default runlevel, just run:

update-rc.d kannel defaults

Kannel package starts by default with a wapbox daemon. To activate smsbox or select which box you want to start, edit /etc/default/kannel and comment/uncomment START_xxxBOX.

To run Kannel as a SMS gateway you need to edit the configuration file which is at /etc/kannel/kannel.conf. In /usr/share/docs/kannel/examples/ there are example files. They have some basic examples of the configuration groups needed to run Kannel as a SMS gateway. For more detailed information please read the section "SMS gateway configuration" later in this same document.

WAP and SMS gateway specifications

Nokia has long been a pivotal player in the telecommunications industry, and its contributions to mobile communication technology are numerous. Among these contributions, the Nokia WAP and SMS Gateway stand out as essential elements in enabling mobile internet access and messaging services in the early days of wireless communication.

The Nokia WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) gateway was introduced to facilitate mobile access to the internet and to allow users to interact with web services through their mobile devices. Built on a client-server architecture, the WAP gateway acted as a bridge between the mobile network and the internet, translating traditional web content into a format that mobile devices could effectively render. This conversion was crucial, given the limitations of early mobile devices regarding screen size, processing power, and network bandwidth.

One of the main features of the Nokia WAP gateway was its ability to provide users with real-time access to information such as weather updates, news, and stock prices. By using a lightweight markup language called WML (Wireless Markup Language), the gateway allowed developers to create mobile-friendly websites that could be accessed via WAP-enabled devices. This marked a significant step toward the mobile internet we know today, creating a new realm of possibilities for developers and users alike.

Another critical aspect of Nokia's offering was the SMS (Short Message Service) gateway. The SMS gateway provided a robust platform for sending and receiving text messages across various mobile networks. It enabled seamless communication between devices, regardless of the underlying technology. This feature made SMS a popular choice for both personal communication and business applications, such as marketing campaigns and customer service notifications.

The Nokia SMS gateway utilized established protocols, such as SMPP (Short Message Peer-to-Peer), to ensure reliable message delivery and efficient interaction between SMS applications and mobile networks. Its characteristics included scalability, allowing service providers to handle large volumes of messages, and flexibility to integrate with existing applications and systems.

In summary, the Nokia WAP and SMS gateway played a vital role in the evolution of mobile communication. With features that enabled mobile internet access and streamlined messaging capabilities, these technologies laid the groundwork for the mobile-centric world we live in today. Their legacy continues to influence mobile application development and the broader telecommunications landscape. As the industry progresses, the innovations introduced by Nokia serve as a reminder of the foundational technologies that paved the way for modern mobile experiences.
