Dear tech support

Our NowSMS server has 1 inbound SMS client (user1) which was configure
under "SMS users". The same NowSMS serve has 3 outbound SMSC connections
(SMSC-a, SMSC-b and SMSC-c)

The case is like this:
NowSMS receives SMS from "user1" then NowSMS send submit_sm to SMSC-a
BUT SMSC-a did not return submit_sm_resp acknowledgement back to NowSMS.
(we will consider to configure SMSC-b and SMSC-c for RerouteOnError)

We would like to know how long does it take for NowSMS to timeout in case it
did not receive submit_sm_resp?

If NowSMS decided it is timeout, what will the next action for NowSMS?
The unacknowledged submit_sm, this SMS will be put into the queue to
rety again?

The timeout factor is very important to us as we are deciding how
to configure re-route on error base on :
- incoming rate of SMS from "user1"
- how long it take to timeout for un-ack submit_sm
- NowSMS max retry parameters......
- NowSMS retry machanism .... etc.

Thanks for your advice.

Hi Nelson,

Connection failure on the connection on which submit_sm was received.

By default, 120 seconds. (Adjusted with CommandTimeout=### under [SMPP - server:port] section header of SMSGW.INI.)

Move to the next queued message and schedule this message for retry.
