Re: [RFC] mcc and mncsmsc-id is almost as good, but not completely. mcc and mnc are normalized values, and when you have for example 20 connections to the same operator (as I do, one emi2 link for each short code), if you use smsc-id you'll have to translate this value in every application behind kannel, wich is error prone. I know kannel doesn't have a way to know mcc and mnc, that's why i suggest smsc directives. But for extensibility (i mean custom drivers) it would be a good thing: for example, a custom NetSize driver we have developed, gets mcc and mnc information directly from the provider, as you can have any mcc and mnc through this link. In this situation, neither using %i or appendind &mcc=xx&mnc=xx would work. Angel Fradejas Mediafusion Espana, S.A.

Sometimes applications need to know the operator for the incoming MO (a logo download application being the typical example), and kannel is the closer element to the operator (and so the most reliable point to declare this info, so you have not to guess based on the mobile number). You can do that by adding &mnc=xxx&mcc=yyy inside the service definition passing those values as a constant string. So you would have an entry for every logo cgi for every SMSC connection. Or you could simply use the %i which is the smsc name. Kannel has no way of knowing which MNC and MCC goes with which SMSC so the smsc name is as good as anything else. -- Andreas Fink Fink-Consulting ------------------------------------------------------------------ Tel: +41-61-6932730 Fax: +41-61-6932729 Mobile: +41-79-2457333 Address: A.
