It's pretty tough to answer open ended questions like this, because I don't know specifically what you are confused about. My suggested reading would be the following discussion board thread for background on how MMS works: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/589.html and http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/485/1958.html Then for information on configuring NowSMS to send MMS via an operator MMSC over a GPRS modem, see: http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/mms_notifications_and_c ontent/Connecting_to_operator_MMSC.htm If there are specific questions after you refer to those links, then I am happy to try to answer them. -bn | |||

You need to go into the "MMSC Routing" page in NowSMS, and add a route using MM1 over your GSM/GPRS modem. The basic configuration is outlined at the following link: http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/mms_notifications_and_c ontent/Connecting_to_operator_MMSC.htm#SendingMMSMessages Based upon the information above, you still need to determine the WAP gateway IP address that should be used. I did some searching on the web, and it looks like it is 10.19.19.19 (however, I am a bit suspicious of this, as my searches show the same WAP Gateway IP for both the MMS and regular WAP/GPRS APNs, which is unusual). Based upon these settings, you would configure the following: You will define an account under the "MMSC Routing" page, and then make that the default route. "Account name" and "Account Description" can be set to any value as they are used only internally by NowSMS. "Default Sender Address" should be left blank. "Allow sender address override" should NOT be checked. "Route messages to this account ..." can be left blank (as long as you make this the default route). "Route messages to VASP via" should be "MM1". "Server Address" should be "mmsc.m3-access.com/". (It is not a problem to include the "http://" in the URL, but that is not required.) "Login Name" and "Password" should be blank. "Use specific Network connection (GPRS Modem)" should be checked. "Network Connection" should be set to "Modem: name of your modem driver". "WAP Gateway IP Address" should be "10.19.19.19". "Modem Used" should be "name of your modem driver". "GPRS APN" should be "mms.indosat-m3.net". "Login Name" and "Password" should be blank. Press "Test Connection" to test your settings. (Note: This test only verifies that the GPRS APN and WAP Gateway IP address settings are accessible. It does not test the MMS Server URL setting which can only be tested by actually sending a message.) | |||

When you say that the message cannot be downloaded, what exactly do you mean? Do you mean that the phone receives a notification of a received MMS message, but an error occurs when downloading the message? If so, then this suggests that the route that you defined is not defined as the "Default Route" on the "MMSC Routing" page of the configuration. What is happening is that NowSMS is trying to deliver the message directly as an MMSC ... and this can fail either because your server NowSMS is not accessible over the internet, the "Local Host Name or IP Address" is not set to a name or IP address that is externally accessible, or your mobile operator blocks MMS delivery from external MMSCs. (See http://www.nowsms.com/howmmsworks.htm) Basically, the settings referenced above are not used if the route is not enabled as a default (or if a specific routing mask is not defined). So, make sure that the settings are defined as the default route. If the problem is that the receiving phone doesn't receive any indication at all of a pending MMS, then I'd suggest: 1.) Make sure that the "Default Route" on the "MMSC Routing" page is enabled. 2.) Double check the settings in the "MMSC Routing". In particular, make sure that the first "Login Name" and "Password" fields on the page (under "Server Address") are blank. Also make sure that "Default Sender Address" is blank, and that "Allow sender address override" is NOT checked. 3.) If the problem persists, enable the MMSWAPDEBUG.LOG, so that we can see what is going on. With the newly released v5.51 version, there is a checkbox on the "Serial #" dialog to enable this debug log. With older versions, you need to manually create a file named MMSWAP.INI in the NowSMS directory, and put the following content in that file: [MMSWAP] Debug=Yes After enabling this log, restart the MMSC service. Send another message. After you submit the message, wait a minute or so, then collect the MMSWAPDEBUG.LOG, and post it as an attachment in reply here. That should give me a better idea of what is occurring on your system. -bn | |||
