Setting Gammu untuk Aplikasi SMS Gateway

Dalam blog ini saya mencoba menulis artikel dalam ketegori baru yaitu tentang SMS Gateway. Soalnya agak jenuh juga nulis artikel yang itu-itu saja Nggak ding… mudah-mudahan kejenuhan itu bersifat temporary saja.

OK… untuk mengawali artikel tentang SMS Gateway ini saya akan membahas cara setting Gammu. Pernahkah Anda mendengar Gammu? Ya.. Gammu adalah semacam service yang disediakan untuk membangun aplikasi yang berbasis SMS Gateway. Setelah kita sukses membangun Gammu, maka kita bisa membangun aplikasi SMS Gateway dengan bahasa program atau platform apapun, baik itu web based dengan PHP maupun ASP atau apapun, dan juga desktop dengan menggunakan Delphi, VB atau lainnya.

Local Area Network (LAN)

A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that connects computers and devices in a limited geographical area such as home, school, computer laboratory or office building. The defining characteristics of LANs, in contrast to wide area networks (WANs), include their usually higher data-transfer rates, smaller geographic area, and lack of a need for leased telecommunication lines.

Wireless Distribution System (WDS)

A Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a system that enables the wireless interconnection of access points in an IEEE 802.11 network. It allows a wireless network to be expanded using multiple access points without the need for a wired backbone to link them, as is traditionally required. The notable advantage of WDS over other solutions is that it preserves the MAC addresses of client frames across links between access points.

An access point can be either a main, relay or remote base station. A main base station is typically connected to the wired Ethernet. A relay base station relays data between remote base stations, wireless clients or other relay stations to either a main or another relay base station. A remote base station accepts connections from wireless clients and passes them on to relay or main stations. Connections between "clients" are made using MAC addresses rather than by specifying IP assignments.
