SMPP Server Connection

SMPP Server connection allows you to accept connections from other applications.

This type of connection can be used to allow client applications to use SMPP protocol to connect to SMS Studio.

SMPP Server Connection Dialog

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

Settings tab

Listen port specifies the port number on which the application will listen for incoming connections. Note that this port number should not be used by other connections or any other application in the system. It may also be needed that you setup your firewall and router to allow remote computers to connect through this port.
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 (the default value is 0.0.0.0).
Client IP address lets you specify the IP address range of the client computers that are allowed to connect through this connection. If you do not wish to check the client IP address, leave the default value for this setting (0.0.0.0).
Client IP address mask lets you specify the mask used to check if the client IP address is allowed.
For example: if the client IP address is set to 192.168.0.0 and the mask is set to 255.255.255.0, then this connection will accept an incoming connection from a client only if its actual IP address is in the range from 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.0.255.
Client user name lets you specify the user name of the client.
Client password lets you specify the password of the client.

Deliver tab

Data coding lets you specify the data coding scheme used to code the text of outgoing messages.
GSM data coding lets you specify the data coding scheme which should be used in cases that only GSM 7-bit characters are detected in the outgoing message.
Compatibility lets you specify the compatibility mode used to encode the text of outgoing messages. This option allows you to set the limit of the number of encoded characters in the outgoing SMPP frame to accommodate the alphabet used by the SME. The SMPP (default) option encodes maximum of 255 characters (or 127 Unicode characters) in one frame, GSM (7-bit) encodes maximum of 160 GSM septets (or 70 Unicode characters) in one frame, GSM (8-bit) encodes maximum of 140 characters (or 70 Unicode characters) in one frame.
Binary data coding lets you specify the data coding scheme used for binary outgoing messages.
Use TLV for sending contents specifies whether to use TLV for sending the contents.
Use TLV for concatenated messages specifies whether to use TLV for sending concatenated messages.

Advanced tab

Outgoing international (TON and NPI) lets you specify the TON and NPI values which should be used for international phone numbers in submitted messages. International phone numbers in SMS Studio contain only digits preceded by the plus sign ( + ).
Outgoing national (TON and NPI) lets you specify the TON and NPI values which should be used for national phone numbers in submitted messages. National phone numbers in SMS Studio contain only digits.
Outgoing alphanumeric (TON and NPI) lets you specify the TON and NPI values which should be used for alphanumeric addresses in submitted messages. Alphanumeric addresses in SMS Studio may contain any combination of characters.
Incoming international (TON and NPI) lets you specify the TON and NPI values used by the SME for international phone numbers in incoming messages. SMS Studio will insert a plus sign ( + ) at the beginning of the phone numbers with this combination of TON and NPI values.
Maximum sending rate specifies the maximum rate (in messages per second) at which the application will send messages. The application will never send messages faster than this rate. Note that you may enter a decimal value in this field.
Maximum receiving rate specifies the maximum rate (in messages per second) at which the messages can be received from the client. If this rate is reached, the incoming messages will be rejected until the current rate drops below this value. Note that you may enter a decimal value in this field.
Force conversion to GSM safe string specifies whether SMS Studio should convert outgoing message to GSM alphabet prior to submitting to the ESME. This conversion will replace each character not-belonging to the GSM alphabet to the closest available character.
* Use GSM alphabet for MC Specific data coding specifies whether your SMSC treats the MC Specific data coding as the GSM alphabet.
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.
