Hi Kariem, It is unclear to me what part of the configuration process you need help with. The basic process that you would follow would be to add an SMPP SMSC connection for your provider. The settings supplied are quite standard. "SERVER IP ADDRESS" is the NowSMS "Server Host Name". "SERVER PORT" is the NowSMS "Server Port". "USERNAME" is the NowSMS "User Name". "PASSWORD" is the NowSMS "Password". "SMPP VERSION" is the NowSMS "SMPP Version" (v3.4 is the default). "ADDRESS RANGE" is the NowSMS "Address Range". "SYSTEM TYPE" is the NowSMS "System Type". "SENDER ADDRESS" is the NowSMS "Sender Address". The other settings can be left at their defaults, except that you should check "Receive SMS Messages". I would also recommend clicking on "Advanced Settings", and checking the option "Send and Receive Messages over the same connection (Transceiver)". At this point, I would suggest that you verify the connection by attempting to send SMS messages via the NowSMS web interface. Any messages that you receive should be visible with the "View" button on the "2-way" page of the NowSMS configuration. The next step would be configuring a 2-way command. The "ECHO" example that you mention is a good start ... it just sends the same text back with "Echo" in front of the text. For this to work, you need to verify the correct directory location of CMD.EXE. The "ECHO" example is good for testing, but it is not good for building an application. Basically, when NowSMS receives an SMS message, it wants to either pass it to a script running on a web server somewhere, or to a local executable program. We call this "2-way" SMS. The basics of 2-way SMS can be found here: http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/2_way_sms_support.htm Many of our customers use PHP scripts to process received messages. There are some practical PHP examples here: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/4520.html This link will search our web site for other 2-way SMS references: http://www.nowsms.com/search.htm?q=2-way+SMS&sa=Search&cx=013875355595574434335: le6xjerdzna&cof=FORID:9 -- Des NowSMS Support | ||||

Are you able to send any SMS messages from the NowSMS web interface, or do they also get stuck in the outbound SMS queue? Look for the SMSOUT-yyyymmdd.LOG (yyyymmdd = year, month, day, such as 20100419). Is it showing errors? I suspect that your provider is rejecting SMS messages that you are submitting ... likely because one of the configuration parameters is not set the way they require it to be set. The error code in the log file may give us a clue. -- Des NowSMS Support | ||||

The problem with the 2-way responses not going out is a bug that we have observed on a few systems (some Windows XP systems). The "SMSCRoute=" with garbage characters is being added to the message because of a bug, and that prevents the message from being routed out. There is an update for NowSMS which corrects this problem, which can be downloaded at http://www.nowsms.com/download/nowsmsinterim.zip Unfortunately, it is not possible to enter non-Latin (including Arabic) text in the 2-way command configuration. There is no problem with sent or received messages containing non-Latin characters (such as Arabic), you cannot include these characters in the command itself. If you wanted to do a proof of concept, you could do this by creating a batch file. For example, create the following batch file ... let's call it smsrecv.bat, and for simplicity, put it in a directory called c:\sms. @echo off cmd /c echo كريم @@FULLSMS@@ I believe you will need to configure iso-8859-6 as the character set in order for this to work. If you want to do more processing, but you are not familiar with PHP, Perl or other scripting languages, here is an old example that might help you, which uses VBScript: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/333.html -- Des NowSMS Support | ||||
