I have no problem sending 1 mms at a time. When I copy and paste a list of 800 numbers into the "To" it appears the numbers are all accepted, but the message fails to all of the numbers.
How do I send multiple MMS? I dont think it is configuration problems.

Hi,

What is your outbound MMSC connectivity?

Is it a modem or phone?

The reason I ask is because most operator systems have a limit on the number of recipients.

Depending on the type of MMSC connection...in current versions of NowSMS, if an MMS message is sent to multiple recipients, it will be split based upon the recipient limit for the MMSC connection.

When using a modem or phone, the default recipient limit is 50. This means that for 800 recipients, NowSMS will split the message into 16 groups of 50 recipients.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to know what the limit is for your mobile operator.

This setting can be changed by editing the VASP.INI file under VASPOUT\routename\VASP.INI. Under the [VASP] header, specify MaxRecips=##, where ## is the maximum number of recipients per submission. For example, if you set MaxRecips=1, NowSMS would submit the message separately for each recipient.

Hi Norman,

I have copied your other questions here, so they are together. From your other post:


quote:

I am having remitting problems with the web interface page. One day its there, the next two days its not. I dont know of any changes I made, but I do have a virus scanning software running.
I also can not figure out how to change the throttle for my MMS. I only want to send 1 message per 5 seconds. I have tried sending 800 at one time and they all failed. My vaspout file within the folder is blank.

pls advise..




Regarding a sending speed limit:

Outbound message throttling limits are supported for sending messages via external "MMSC Routing" connections (e.g., MM7, MM4, MM1, EAIF). These limits can be defined by manually editing the VASPOUT\routename\VASP.INI file, and under the [VASP] header, adding SendLimit=x/y where "x" is the number of messages that can be sent over a "y" second interval. If "y" is omitted, a value of "1" is assumed. For example, SendLimit=3 limits the connection to a speed of 3 messages per second. SendLimit=1/5 limits the connection to a speed of 1 message every 5 seconds.

Note that if you are sending to multiple recipients, this limit is per each recipient group. So you would need to set both MaxRecips=1 and SendLimit=1/5 to do 1 recipient every 5 seconds.

Note that NowSMS licensing will also limit outbound speed.

For the web interface not working, I need to better understand.

Does it work from a web browser on the same machine as NowSMS? (That is, is the problem only accessing it from other computers on the network?)

If you open a command prompt window, and issue the command netstat -n -a is NowSMS listening on port 8800, or whatever port it is configured for?

thanks..that was a very precise answer on the throttling.

For the interface page, it comes and goes.I forgot all of my androids are also on the same wifi network. I tried from chrome, firefox and explorer and neither browser would access the web interface. It was down 2 days, and this morning it was back. I didnt touch or change anything. Earlier today I tried sending an mms and this message, "Error: Unable to connect to 127.0.0.1:51527", now comes up. Not sure if I changed or deleted a file within the folder that was required to access this page.Earlier today, I was able to send 1 message manually. When I uploaded 64 and tried sending, Ive been getting that error ever since.

Sorry, I didnt answer second part of your question. Here are the results from that command. It appears the port (127.0.0.1:51527) is not present

Hi,

I do not understand where the ""Error: Unable to connect to 127.0.0.1:51527" reference is coming from...

Are you seeing this in the HTTP response after the Java submission?

Is this NowSMS Lite, or the regular version?

In either case, I'm guessing that there is some sort of conflict over the MMSC port, and dynamic port allocation isn't working properly. By default the MMSC service listens on port 8080. If it cannot, it allocates a dynamic port for local communication between the SMS and MMS services.

So my thought is to try changing this port. Let's try 8801.

In the full NowSMS, this port is set in the MMSC page of the settings...HTTP port number (this is different from the web interface port number).

In NowSMS Lite, go to the MMS server page, enable MM7/EAIF and set this port number there.

To make sure the setting takes effect, restart the NowSMS services, and it wouldn't hurt to verify that 8801 is listening in the netstat command.
