Hello Group,
 
I have installed my wap gateway and I have tested it with the fakewap command.  Now I
want to test it with real phone. I have access to Motorola ascensioni P3 phone.
 
Can someone direct me to all the steps necessary to make my wapgateway functional.
I probably will have to create a profile and set some parameters on my phone as well.
 
Please help.
 
Thanks.

Hi Arun,

the issue is as follows:

There is no (ok, let's relativate: it's tricky and out of
scope for this issue 
here) change to connect a real phone with Kannel (running as
WAP gw) via some 
kind of serial or bluetooth connection...

(Sidenote: some OS of phones, ie. Symbian on Nokias can be
"tricked" to use a IP 
stack via bluetooth instead of GPRS bearer, but that's
tricky).

You will have to establish a GPRS session with your phone
(via a dedicated APN) 
and then can address Kannel's WDP, WTP ports for WAP 1.2.x
gateway functionality.

Now, here the next "problem" starts. ;) Usualy GSM
network providers offer 
dedicated APNs for WAP and MMS. Both usually will NOT allow
you to connect to an 
"unknown" IP for WAP gw packets. In this case you
need to use a so called 
"Internet APN", that is "open" in terms
of packet filtering.

Once again: Using a WAP GW is more something for a wireless
carrier (that have 
access to core infrastructure nodes, ie. GPRS APNs) and not
for VASPs or alike.
