Hi Support,

our testing with Huawei USSD GW request us submit the message with DCS 19 for unicode message and DCS 11 for text message.

we have set DCS=19 or DCS=11 in the http request, but we see outgoing message still using DCS=4 for text and DSC=8 for unicode message in sniffer.

is there any setting need to put in the config file to enable outgoing sms DCS override ?

thx
kk

Hi kk,

The easy way to handle this is to set a default text DCS and binary DCS value for that SMPP connection.

This can be done by manually editing the SMSGW.INI file, and then under the appropriate section header for that connection (e.g., [SMPP - ussdprovider:9999]), add the following

TextDCS=11
UnicodeDCS=19

Do not specify a DCS when submitting a message.
