Nokia WAP and SMS gateway - Manual (Page 30)

Chapter 3. Using the gateway
The state can be changed via HTTP administration interface (see below), and shutdown can also be
initiated via TERM or INT signal from terminal. In addition, the bearerbox can be started already in
suspended or isolated state with -S or -I command line option, see above.
HTTP administration
Kannel can be controlled via an HTTP administration interface. All commands are done as normal HTTP
queries, so they can be easily done from command line like this:
lynx -dump "http://localhost:12345/shutdown?password=bar"
...in which the ’12345’ is the configured admin-port in Kannel configuration file (see above). For most
commands, admin-password is required as a argument as shown above. In addition, HTTP administration
can be denied from certain IP addresses, as explained in configuration chapter.
Note that you can use these commands with WAP terminal, too, but if you use it through the same
Kannel, replies to various suspend commands never arrive nor can you restart it via WAP anymore.
