Your smpp server address (host) can’t be that, check again your access details with provider

Did you solve this issue?

I have the same problem that the kannel is connected the first time and for some reason (I dont know, loses the connection to the provider SMSC), and also in the log file send me this information (log file /var/log/kannel/smsc-smpp.log):

SMPP Connectivity issues can be easily solved using a wireshark to analyse and identify issues on the SMPP traffic. You might also look into the actual physical data connectivity between your the node (Kannel GW) and SMSC (Telco Operator) .
