OTA (Over the Air) configuration support

3G LAB has reverse engineered the OTA specification for the Nokia 7110 and they have also made a OTA patch for Kannel. They used the phone as a smsc feature of Kannel to send and receive the OTA-messages and this way studied and reverse engineered the OTA specification. The OTA messages were sent from mobile operators web pages (Radiolinja and BT Cellnet). Yann Muller from 3G LAB also made the phone as SMSC support which is now included in the Kannel distribution. If you have any questions regarding support issues of Alligata, please contact support@3glab.com. You can download 3G LAB's version of the OTA specification and the Kannel OTA patch from:

Kannel module for the mon monitoring tool

This is a Perl module for use with the "mon" monitoring tool available at the Linux Kernel Site http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/admin/mon/. It uses Kannel's fakewap utility to simulate a request to Kannel and checks if the magic-url "kannel:alive" is responding from the wapbox and the bearerbox. The module is available in the gateway/contrib/mon directory of the source tree package.
