HI I am trying to use the SMPP server thats there in NowSMS(5.0) to receive mms notifications over SMPP. First of all, can I use the SMPP server (One we configure on the Web panel with smpp port) running in NowSMS to receive the notifications coming from outside?. If yes, what happens once it receives the notifications. Does it log some where, OR tries to receive the message OR forwards the incoming notification ... Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. | |||

Hi Venkat, I'm not sure that I understand what you are trying to accomplish. It sounds like you want to receive MMS notification messages that are sent over SMS, and route them to an SMPP client connected to the NowSMS server? This would be the same process as routing any other type of receives SMS messages to an SMPP client. SMPP clients are defined under the "SMS Users" dialog. To route received messages to one of these accounts, in the attributes for the account "Route received messages to user via SMPP" needs to be checked, and you must define an address mask under "Recipient address(es) to route to this user" you must define phone numbers for which NowSMS will route messages to this account. For example, if you defined "999*" in this field, then a message sent to 999999 would get routed to this account. The list of recipient addresses can be a comma delimited list of multiple addresses, but do not include any space characters in the string. -bn | |||

Thanks for the response. Here is what exactly I am looking for... Can I use the NowSMS's SMPP server for a outbind operation. I mean when SMSC/WAP gateway has to send sms message over smpp, can I use NowSMS's SMPP interface to receive that message. I am talking about section 2.2.1 in SMPP specification V3.4. Pasted below the some part from section 2.2.1 "............... The purpose of the outbind operation is to allow the SMSC signal an ESME to originate a bind_receiver request to the SMSC. An example of where such a facility might be applicable would be where the SMSC had outstanding messages for delivery to the ESME. An outbind SMPP session between an SMSC and an ESME can be initiated by the SMSC first establishing a network connection with the ESME. Once a network connection has been established, the SMSC should bind to the ESME by issuing an “outbind” request. The ESME should respond with a “bind_receiver” request to which the SMSC will reply with a “bind_receiver_resp”. ..............." Thanks for your time | |||

Venkat, We do not support the "outbind" operator (in fact, I don't think this is very widely supported in the real world). But, an SMPP client can receive messages via NowSMS using either of the following approaches: 1.) Bind as a transceiver. As NowSMS receives messages, it will send them to the client over the client initiated connection. 2.) Bind two connections, one as a transmitter, and the other as a receiver. As NowSMS receives messages, it will send them to the client over the client initiated "receiver" connection. -bn | |||
