Re: setting up TLV parameters

Juan,

The TLV's are on the MO or MT side?

It's a quite different scenario, on the MO side, the TLV's are packed
on the message and get converted to special variables inside kannel.

On the MT side, you provide the variables on the request URL, XML or
whatever interface you use to sendmessages and they get translated to
the SMPP TLV's being sent to the SMSC.

If you're facing the typical "billing ticket" scenario (a ticket comes
as a TLV and you must respond including that ticket also on a TLV), it
requires both functionalities.

I've made modifications to kannel to add TLV's on both scenarios to
accomodate operators and aggregators requirements. It's not _that_
difficult to do, but requires some C skills (and a testing platform to
make sure it's working).

I can send you my patches (the MT side were commited to the list a
long time ago in fact) so you can start from there.

Hope it helps.

Alejandro.
