Hi

I am now using nowSMS to send MMS using MM7 protocol and I have session with the operators to send 10 MMS/sec
But I realized that when I send many messages at the same time nowsms send first MMS and waiting for acknowledgment from the operator (15-20 sec) before it go to the other message. So I have two questions here:
First: nowsms waiting (15-20 sec) to receive the acknowledgment (is this normal?)
Second: can nowsms send other MMS before receiving the acknowledgment from operator for the previous MMS?. Like using windowing in SMPP protocol
And how MMS can nowsms send per sec?

And you know the operator give me 10 MMS/sec but in this situation I need 200 sec to send 10 MMS

Thank you a lot

Regards
Mohammed

Hi Mohammed,

If you are using NowSMS 2006, I would suggest updated to the 2006.10.31 version (more information in the "What's New" section of the web site, but the quick info is that you can download the current evaluation version from the web site and use it to update).

In the "MMSC Routing" definition, where you define your connection to the operator MMSC, there is a "Max Connections" option. With this option, NowSMS creates multiple connections to perform the message submissions. This gets you around the request/acknowledgement delays with a single connection.

I am already using 10.31 ver.
And I was tested this option but still there is no major different. Did you have another option?

Hi, it is possible to set a "Max connections" option also for MM1 protocol?
Thank you.

Hi Mohammed,

Are you sending one message to a large number of recipients?

If so, then only one queue entry would be created for the message, and it would not take advantage of this logic.

If this is the case, then I have 2 suggestions:

1.) Split the recipients into groups, and submit multiple messages instead of a single submission to a large number of recipients.

2.) Edit VASPOUT\accountname\VASP.INI, and under the [VASP] header, experiment with larger values for a MaxRecips=#### setting. The default value for MM7 environments is "100", which means that when a message is addressed to more than 100 recipients, NowSMS will submit via MM7 in groups of 100 recipients. This "100" is an arbitrary limit, and individual MM7 provider may actually support larger values for this setting (or they may only support smaller values).

Hi Gabriele,

No, this setting is only available for MM7, MM4 and EAIF.

There might be a way to make this setting work for an MM1 connection where you communicate with the MMSC via a network card driver (like in Sierra Wireless Aircards, where the "Network Connection" setting can point to a "Network:" connection instead of a "Modem:" or "Dial-up:" connection). But it definitely cannot be used if dial-up networking is being used to make the network connection to the MMSC.
