Hi, I am trying to connect to an SMSC using SMPP to receive messages only. The opertor is configuring my connection to receive messages only. I am not allowed to send messages on this connection. For some reason, I can not login to this connection. However, when the opertor allows me to send messages, I can easilly connect to the same server. But the opertor does not want to give me ability to send on this connection. How can I connect to this server and specify receiver only?? Your help is appreciated. | |||

Hi, Can they allow you to connect as a sender, but reject any messages that you submit? Unfortunately, we do not have any settings that configure a connection has receive only. Well, let me clarify that. You can certainly configure NowSMS so that it will not try to send any messages over the connection ... but we assume that for an SMPP connection we will still bind as a sender or transceiver, even if not messages are being sent. We could add a configuration option for receive only on an SMPP connection though. That would not be difficult. If you need this capability, send an e-mail message to nowsms@now.co.uk, put "Attention Bryce" in the subject line, and reference this discussion thread in the text of the message. It may take a couple of days from the receipt of your e-mail, but I think we could sort out such a configuration option fairly easily. -bn | |||

Just a follow-up to our e-mail dialog. The update discussed has been posted. See http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/53/7888.html, which has information about the update, and a note on how to configure an SMPP receive only connection. Actually I'll go ahead and repeat here for future searches:

When you stop the NowSMS service, it will automatically send an unbind request over any SMPP SMSC connections. And it will gracefully close the socket for the SMPP connection before exiting. So the connection should be closed. The only issue that I can think of which you might see is that if you have NowSMS configured to bind to a specific local port ("Sender or Transceiver Port" and "Receiver Port" settings under "Advanced Settings"), then there is an issue in TCP/IP, where after a connection between a particular source:port/dest:port is terminated, a new connection is not allowed for about 2 minutes. But after 2 minutes, the connection will proceed automatically. (Note that this is only an issue when you bind to a specific local port on the NowSMS side of the connection, and it is not a limitation of NowSMS, but a TCP limitation.) If I am not describing what you are referring to, then please provide more specific details. -bn | |||
