Hi, I have an application which has an SMPP driver to connect to an SMS-C(but i don't have a connection to one). Can i use Now SMS gateway in such a scenario. Specifically: 1. Can i connect to "NOW' using the SMPP server functionality from my application driver and have NOW connect to the SMS-C thru' a mobile phone.? How can i set that up? 2. Some of the parameters which my driver asks me are : SMS-C account id, system-id, type and password. How do these map in NOW? Thanks | |||

Hi, Some additional information. 1. I can send SMS by connecting a mobile phone to the gateway using the web interface 2. I now want to use the SMPP server functionality so that my application can automatically connect to NowSMS SMPP server thru' it's SMPP driver and send a SMS out. 3. The SMS-C account id i mentioned in the earlier posting is the assigned short number by the operator. In this case, what would be the short number for the Now SMPP server? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks. | |||

Hi. Sorry for the delay getting back to you. Let me try to answer your questions. Enable the SMPP server in NowSMS by checking "Enable SMPP Server" on the "Web" page of the configuration dialog, and then specifying a port that NowSMS will listen for SMPP connections on. On the "SMS Users" page of the configuration dialog, define an account and enable SMPP access for that account. From your SMPP application, you can then bind with the username and password of that account. Passwords like system id and system type are ignored, it is really just that username and password that is important. The NowSMS SMPP server is a simple implementation that only supports bind, submit, deliver, and unbind. A short number really doesn't come into play ... unless I'm missing something. Let me know if I can clarify further. -bn | |||
