Using multiple SMS centers

If you have several SMS center connections (multiple operators or a number of GSM modems) you need
to configure one smsc group per SMS center (or GSM modem). When doing this, you might want to use
routing systems to rout messages to specific centers - for example, you have 2 operator SMS centers, and
the other is much faster and cheaper to use.

To set up routing systems, first give an unique ID for each SMS center - or if you want to treat multiple
ones completely identical, give them identical ID. Then use

preferred-smsc-id

and

denied-smsc-id

to set up the routing to your taste. See also SMS PUSH settings (’sendsms-user’

groups), below.

Feature checklist

Not all of Kannel’s SMSC drivers support the same set of features. This is because they were written at
different times, and new features are often only added to drivers that the feature author can test.

The table in this section is an attempt to show exactly what features to expect from a driver, and to help
identify areas where drivers need to be updated. Currently most of the entries are marked as "not tested"
because the table is still new.
