Variable

Value

Description

modemtype

string

Modems from different

manufacturers have slightly
different behaviour. We need to
know what type of modem is
used.

device (m)

device-name

The device the modem is

connected to, like

/dev/ttyS0

.

pin

string

This is the PIN number of the

SIM card in the GSM modem.
You can specify this option if
your SIM has never been used
before and needs to have the PIN
number entered. The PIN is
usually a four digit number.

validityperiod

integer

How long the message will be

valid, i.e., how long the SMS
center (the real one, not the
phone acting as one for Kannel)
will try to send the message to
the recipient. Encoded as per the
GSM 03.40 standard, section
9.2.3.12. Default is 167, meaning
24 hours.

alt-dcs

boolean

When encoding DCS field

internally, there are two formats
with similar functionality. The
0x0X (alt-dcs = false or
non-present) or the 0xFX (alt-dcs
= true). If you have a buggy
modem (like Siemens M20) that
don’t like to send binary
messages, try setting alt-dcs to
true.
