Hi Guys, I've been setting up NowSMS for more than a month now. I have bits and pieces of information to connect to the mobile operator. Here's what I've done so far... I went to MMSC Routing and Added new Routes (route to the operator) I filled up all the neccessary fields and selected MM7 option button. Then, entered the correct Server address box and clicked OK. When I tried sending a test MMS using the Online admin tool... it says message sent. But, when I check the MMSCDEBUG.LOG I'm getting the REJECTED status message and the weird part is the FROM field is the same as the SENDER value. Argh! I'm clueless and desparate in seeking assistance. I'm attaching the log files for your perusal. Hope you can help me. Thanks in advance... Pancho

Hi Pancho, Are you sure that you are connecting to a server that supports MM7? This seems to be a continuation of the following thread: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/485/11475.html And I don't really have enough information to suggest anything more than what I did before. I can tell you this ... When we submit the message to the server, we are simply getting an HTTP 200 OK response with no content. If this server supported MM7, I would expect to receive MM7 XML in the content of the response. But all I see is an empty response. So basically, I don't know what this server is that you are trying to connect to. It seems to be some sort of ASP script. I'd suggest confirming that it supports MM7, and if you can provide any more detailed information about the server, then maybe that will provide us with some missing information. -bn | ||||

Hi Bryce, I coordinated with the network provider's technical. Here what he said to our inquiry. Kindly confirm if NowSMS supports their requirements. I hope you can assist me on this. The MMS Proxy gateway is at http://202.138.159.67/mms/default.aspx Use Push Access Protocol (PAP) over HTTP POST on this address to send your MMS content. The URL below leads to a downloadable specification, should you need it, or just use the CMG Java MMS API. http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/affiliates/wap/wapindex.html The Java CMG MMS API uses PAP to communicate with the MMS gateway. This lets you work with an API, and not have to worry about opening a direct TCP connection. In other words, you either use the Java API, or you open an HTTP session to the webserver where you send a PAP-formatted request. You don't do both. What do you think? Thanks in advance. Regards, Pancho | ||||

Hi Pancho, Wow ... that is a strange interface. They point you to the WAP specifications, but ... wow ... I've downloaded some documentation from Logica CMG, and what they are doing is definitely a non-standard interface. PAP (Push Access Protocol) is a standard, but they've added another layer on top of it. It boggles my brain that there is a VASP interface standard defined by the 3GPP (MM7), and a company like LogicaCMG seems to be ignoring it. We've downloaded some documentation from Logica CMG, and we'll study it some more. Maybe we can make some sense of it. (Unfotunately, the documentation that I have seems to mostly cover the LogicaCMG Java APIs, without providing complete examples of the raw HTTP/PAP protocol.) For now, I would suggest asking your mobile operator if they support MM7, or an SMTP interface. -bn | ||||

Hi Bryce, Yes, they said they support MM7. However, we have to connect to their server by PAP. I'm attaching the document that they have given me. I hope this could help you in resolving this issue. Regards, Pancho

Hi Pancho, The document that you have attached is the 3GPP specification of MMS, which defines the MM7 protocol. We do follow that specification, but the Push Access Protocol (PAP) is not used in MM7. See Section 7.9.2 of that document, and it provides an example of an MM7 message submission. That is the type of submission that we expect to make when using MM7. PAP is not used in the MM7 protocol. I do understand that the LogicCMG MMSC implements a propietary protocol based upon PAP for MMS submissions, but I have not been able to find documentation for that interface. We are still evaluating how much development effort is required to support this protocol. -bn | ||||

Correction: Section 8.7.9.2 is the section that provides the example that I refenced in the above message. I made a typo in my above post. | ||||

Hi Bryce, I'm not technically inclinded in setting this up... I'm thinking of setting up NowSMS to become our MMSC, I hope its not too complicate? Regards, Pancho | ||||
