I've been trying to get NowSMS to connect to mBlox over SMPP but it fails with this error: Unable to login to SMPP server with specified parametrs. ERROR: Bind Failed. Now, in the introductory letter I recieved from mBlox, it specifies a 4-digit Service Type. I don't see this field in NowSMS. Could this be the problem? | |||

Hi Michael, Do you mean system type? There is a system type parameter that can be sent in the bind request. And you can set this value when you define the SMPP connection in NowSMS ... it is one of the "optional" parameters that can be specified, underneath the username and password definition. There is also a concept of "service type" in SMPP environments. However, this attribute is not sent as part of the bind (login) request. The "service type" attribute is sent with each message. So if you are getting a bind failed error, then a "service type" setting could not be an issue. But a "system type" setting could be. The only other parameters that can be sent via a bind request are "address range" (very rarely used, but when used, used to define message receive sendings), and the bind TON and NPI (configurable under "Advanced Settings"). FWIW, I would suspect that there is an issue with your account not being setup properly on the provider's end. Maybe your account is not authorised from the IP address that you are connecting ... or there is a typo in the username or password parameter. If you do have a "service type" value that needs to be sent ... I will go ahead an explain that as well ... just keep in mind that this value is sent with every SMS message submission, not at the bind (login) stage. You can set a default service type value by editing SMSGW.INI, and under the [SMPP - host:port] section adding: ServiceType=xxxxx It is also possible to override the service type value on a per message basis by using the "&ServiceType=xxxxx" parameter in your HTTP URL request. (Some service providers use the service type value for billing codes.) -bn | |||

Thanks for the response. You were correct in your assumption about the problem being at the service provider end. It's a new account, and it was not yet fully propegated. I was told to wait till tomorrow, and I will post whether or not I was successful. | |||

Problem resolved. It was on the service provider side. | |||
