Hi all ,

generally we use NOWSMS GUI to create SMPP SMSC connection/s and all configuration settings are stored in SMSGW.INI file , this process is manual, i need to automate it (i.e i need to do it programatically ) so is there any API like thing for defining / modifying SMPP SMSC connections and 2 WAY SMS/MMS .


Regards,
krishna vardhan

Hi Krishna,

Unfortunately, no there is not. We have plans to extend the HTTP provisioning interface to allow this in the future, however there is no interface to do this currently.

We do have some customers who have written programs to perform their own updates to SMSGW.INI.

Each SMSC connection gets its own section in the SMSGW.INI, but is only activated if there is a "Modem#=" reference that points to it. (The "Modem#" references must be numbered sequentially, without skipping a number.)

2-way commands are stored in a similar way, under "ReceiveSMSCommand#=" references, with tab characters delimiting options in the command.

I wish I had a better suggestion. You need to be careful, but it is ok to update SMSGW.INI external from NowSMS.

Adding/updating 2-way commands does not require a service restart, but any updates to SMSC connections does currently require a service restart ("net stop nowsms" followed by "net start nowsms" will do this).
