Hi,

We have few SMS centers and need to connect them via SMPP. All of them can act only as SMPP server. We want to use NowSMS as Gateway.

So we need to connect NowSMS to few SMSC as SMPP client and route messages and delivery reports through them.

Is it possible to do it?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Yes, this is possible. It requires some manual edits to the SMSGW.INI configuration file. Here's a description of the setting:


quote:

* SMS Gateway: Add support for configuration where NowSMS can transparently route SMS messages between 2 or more outbind SMPP connections. Configuration allows for SMS messages received via one outbind SMPP connection to be routed out via another outbind SMPP connection. (Outbind SMPP connections are SMPP connections where NowSMS initiates the connection, i.e., SMPP connections defined in the "SMSC" list.) Configuration of this type of setup requires manual editing of the SMSGw.INI file. For an SMPP connection that is receiving SMPP messages, under the [SMPP - host:port] header, add ReRouteReceived=xxxxx, where RouteName=xxxxx is defined under the [SMPP - host:port] header for the SMPP connection through which the received messages should be routed. (Note: To route received messages via any outbound route, specify ReRouteReceived=any.)




If you search the forum with a keyword of ReRouteReceived, you'll find some other discussions of this setting which might be helpful to you.

Routing delivery reports in this matter can be a challenge. We did just recently make some changes in this area, based upon customer feedback. (See http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/42127.html)

Hi

Not sure if this is really the right section for this.

I recently re-installed a previously working configuration, connecting to three operators. I downloaded a new copy of nowsms a couple of weeks back (which is probably newer if that matters).

I have set it up and can receive messages. However, the direct response messages are failing.
If i set up only one operator, it works.

Somehow, i have overlooked something when telling nowsms how to send the response message. Note: at least one of the operators *requires* that i use Transceiver mode (reply on same channel).

I get an 'invalid source address' error message.

Can you tell me how i might resolve this or what i may be overlooking.
