I'm checking the feasibility of using NowSMS solution for my test case.
I'v installed Now SMS/MMS Gateway ver. 2014.06.30 on Anritsu MD8475A.
In that environment, I'd like to test Delivery(M-Delivery.ind)/Read(M-read-orig.ind) report functions for MMS.

1. Now SMS/MMS gateway with Anritsu MD8475A supports sending Delivery/Read report?

2. If it possible, please let me know how to configure?

Hi,

Yes, those PDUs are supported.

However, the scenario is complicated by the fact that you are using a network simulator. I have no practical experience using any Anritsu test equipment, so I can't advise on any configuration limitations that may exist in that environment.

If you are using NowSMS as a direct delivery MMSC (which would be the expected configuration with a network simulator), the the MMSC will automatically generate an M-delivery.ind notification back to the sender when an MMS message is retrieved by the recipient device, and the originally submitted message requested a delivery notification.

For more on how MMS works, see http://www.nowsms.com/faq/how-mms-works

Read reports are not generated by the MMSC, as the role of the MMSC is only to transport them.

If a read report is requested, the receiving MMS client is expected to generate the M-read-rec.ind transaction back to the MMSC. The MMSC then translates this to a M-read-orig.ind transaction back to the original message sender.

Thank you for your fast reply.
It works fine.
By the way, can I send those PDUs manually?

The "send binary other" form in the web interface can send raw PDUs, you just must separate UDH from the message payload.

A good place to start looking for examples is the SMSOUT-yyyymmdd.LOG, as it will contain a record of previously sent MMS messages, including those generated by the MMSC.
