EMI/UCP Connection

EMI/UCP connection allows you to connect to an SME through EMI/UCP protocol.

This type of connection can be used to connect to an SMS Center, SMS gateway, or another SMS Studio application.

EMI/UCP Connection Dialog

See Connection Dialog for description of the Connection, Account and Options tabs.

Settings tab

EMI/UCP Server address lets you specify the network name or the IP address of the EMI/UCP server computer.
Port lets you specify the port number used for accepting EMI/UCP connections on the server computer.
Connect timeout lets you specify the timeout value in seconds. If the server computer does not respond to the connection request in the specified time interval, the connection will be considered unavailable.
* Local IP address lets you specify the local IP address SMS Studio will use when creating the connection. This setting is useful if you need to select the network adapter to be used by this connection, or if your network adapter is using several IP addresses. In most cases, there is no need to change this setting (i.e. it should be set to 0.0.0.0).
* Port lets you specify the local port SMS Studio will use when creating the connection. This setting is useful if your EMI/UCP server requires that you use specific port for making the connection. In most cases, there is no need to change this setting (i.e. it should be set to 0).
* Identification required lets you specify whether your EM/UCP server requires an identification frame to be sent in order to access its services.
* Address lets you enter the address used to access EMI/UCP server.
* Password lets you enter the password used to access EMI/UCP server.
Remember password allows you to specify if the application should remember your user name and password. If this option is not checked, the application will ask you for the user name and password each time you initiate the connection.

Advanced tab

* Send alerts lets you specify whether your EMI/UCP provider requires you to send alert frames.
International prefix lets you specify the prefix for international phone numbers used in your country.
Send as Unicode lets you specify whether you wish to use Unicode data coding when sending messages.
Message validity lets you choose the validity period for the outgoing messages.
* Maximum submit rate specifies the maximum rate (in messages per second) at which the application will submit messages. The application will never submit messages faster than this rate. Note that you may enter a decimal value in this field.
* Maximum submitted count specifies the maximum allowed number of submitted messages. The application will not send any more messages if this number is reached. When the number decreases, the application will continue sending the messages.
Use 16-bit reference number for concatenated messages specify whether to use 16-bit instead of 8-bit reference number for sending concatenated messages. Note that the 16-bit number uses one more byte in the outgoing frame, so it may decrease the number of available characters in the message.

* Consult your EMI/UCP provider for the supported, allowed and/or requested values for these options.
