RUN_KANNEL_BOX(8) Kannel Project RUN_KANNEL_BOX(8)NAME
run_kannel_box - Run a Kannel box
SYNOPSIS
run_kannel_box [--pidfile PIDFILE] [--min-delay SECONDS] BOXPATH [boxoptions...]
DESCRIPTION
run_kannel_box runs a kannel(8) box, i.e., one of the daemon programs of Kannel. is an WAP and SMS gateway. WAP is short for Wireless
Application Protocol, and is used to implement hypertext based services on mobile phones. SMS is short for Short Message Service, and is
used to send and recive short (up to 160 characters) text messages with mobile phones. SMS can also be used to implement simple text based
services on mobile phones.

gsmsendsms - SMS message sender utility
SYNOPSIS
gsmsendsms [ -b baudrate ] [ --baudrate baudrate ] [ -c concatenatedID ] [ --concatenate concatenatedID ] [ -C service centre address ] [
--sca service centre address ] [ -d device ] [ --device device ] [ -h ] [ --help ] [ -I init string ] [ --init init string ] [ -r ] [
--requeststat ] [ -t ] [ --test ] [ -v ] [ --version ] [ -X ] [ --xonxoff ] phonenumber [ text ]
DESCRIPTION
gsmsendsms sends SMS short messages using an GSM mobile phone.
gsmsendsms attaches itself to the device given on the command line (usually an GSM modem) using the specified baudrate. If no device is
given, the device /dev/mobilephone is used. If no baudrate is given, a default baud rate of 38400 is used.
gsmsendsms accepts a phone number (recipient address) and the short message text as parameters. The text may have a maximum length of 160
characters which is the maximum SMS message length. The GSM default alphabet is used for encoding. ASCII and Latin-1 characters that can
not be encoded using the GSM default alphabet are converted to the GSM delta character (GSM code 16).
Error messages are printed to the standard error output. If the program terminates on error the error code 1 is returned.
OPTIONS -b baudrate, --baudrate baudrate
The baud rate to use.
-c concatenatedID, --concatenate concatenatedID
If an ID is given, large SMSs are split into several, concatenated SMSs. All SMSs have the same ID and are numbered consecutively so
that the receiving phone can assemble them in the correct order. IDs must be in the range 0..255. Not all receiving phones will sup-
port concatenated SMSs (and display them as separate SMSs), since all the numbering and ID information is carried in the user data
header element at the beginning of the SMS user data. This information may show up as garbage in such phones.
-C service centre address, --sca service centre address
Sets the service centre address to use for all SUBMIT SMSs (may not work with some phones).
-d device, --device device
The device to which the GSM modem is connected. The default is /dev/mobilephone.
-h, --help
Prints an option summary.
-I init string, --init init string
Initialization string to send to the TA (default: "E0"). Note that the sequence "ATZ" is sent first.
-r, --requeststat
Request status reports for sent SMS.
-t, --test
If this option is given the text is converted to the GSM default alphabet and back to Latin-1. This option can be used to find out
how ASCII or Latin-1 texts are converted to the GSM default alphabet. Characters that can not be converted to the GSM default alpha-
bet are reported as ASCII code 172 (Latin-1 boolean "not") after this double conversion. No SMS messages are sent, a connection to a
mobile phone is not established.
-v, --version
Prints the program version.
-X, --xonxoff
Uses software handshaking (XON/XOFF) for accessing the device.
EXAMPLES
The following two invocations of gsmsendsms each send the same SMS message to the number "1234":
gsmsendsms -d /dev/ttyS2 -b 19200 1234 "This is a test."
echo "This is a test." | gsmsendsms -d /dev/ttyS2 -b 19200 1234
FILES
/dev/mobilephone
Default mobile phone device.
