To run Kannel as a SMS gateway you need to edit the configuration file which is at
/etc/kannel/kannel.conf. In the same directory there is an example file called smskannel.conf. It has some
basic examples of the configuration groups needed to run Kannel as a SMS gateway. For more detailed
information please read the section "SMS gateway configuration" later in this same document.
The logging is disabled by default and you can enable it from the kannel.conf file. Just add the log-file
option to the group of which box you want to log.
The documentation will be installed at /usr/share/doc/kannel-VERSION/ or /usr/doc/kannel-VERSION/
depending on if you used the RedHat 7.x or 6.x package.
In the Kannel documentation directory there is a html file called control.html. It is an example file that
shows how to use the Kannel http administration interface. It also has a template for sending SMS
messages.
