One of our customers is connected to two SMSC links, and uses one as the primary link (or default) and the other as a secondary for backup. They now want an automated mechanism by which there is a need to switch from the default link to the secondary link if a delay is seen in the message delivery on the default link. Do let us know how we can nowSMS can be configured to achieve this functionality. | |||

This would be a manual switchover process? It could be done by programmatically updating the SMSGW.INI file. Each SMSC connection should be defined, each with their own separate unique route name. The backup route would include a setting to indicate that it is a backup for the other route: [SMPP - 1.1.1.1:111] RouteName=RouteA [SMPP - 2.2.2.2:222] RouteName=RouteB BackupForRoute=RouteA In this example, RouteB will remain inactive unless there is a problem connecting to or logging into RouteA. To activate the backup manual, a program could add Offline=Yes to the primary server's section in the INI file. This could also be done manually via the config user interface in Windows or the web admin UI under Linux. Regards, Bryce Norwood NowSMS Support | |||
