@Lasantha – Unfortunately I haven’t used a GSM modem with Kannel on windows as yet so I can’t really help here, I use it mostly for SMPP connectivity.

@lazoras – Sounds very strange, do you have the correct files for your architecture (i386/amd64?) also make sure you have installed the cygwin build essentials.

i followed the steps and when i type
run ./configure in the cyg console it tries to run the configure file but a windows error pops up saying it is unable to run the program….. maybe i am missing some packages because i noticed there was an etc… at the end of the package list provided?

any help would be great!

I got the very same question reported by Ahmed, how to specify the setting in kannel.conf (device=?) ? Windows device manager shows the device as “BandLuxe 3.5G HSDPA Modem” (I’m using a 3G modem, not a mobile phone modem) and I’m running just on windows. Not from Cygwin. Thanks.

This build has support for TLV’s. I shall do another build soon and post it on this site.

Please tell me your Kannel Windows version (CVS Build) has meta-data (TLV)? Or I need rebuild with last source? Thanks!

@Alexandre – I suggest contacting the users list (users@kannel.org) for any queries like this, it is quite a common task.

@Ahmad – Are you running from within the Cygwin window?

I am trying to configure Kannel on Windows Vista. I am using Nokia E51 as GSM modem connected via USB cable. This device shows up in Windows Vista Device Manager as connected on COM18. How should I specify settings in the kannel.config? I tried “device = COM18″ or “device = /dev/COM18″ but they don’t work. Can you share some working config file for Windows?

Nice! This is exactly what I was looking for… Thanks for sharing!

BTW, Do you have any example about integrating it to a DB (like MySQL).

Best regards from Brazil!
