Processing messages over SIP/SMPP

On this panel you can specify the attributes to adjust message processing and delivery. Hover over an attribute name and then over the question mark  that appears to see the attribute description.

Select the checkbox to specify a single External Short Message Entity (ESME) address or a range of ESME addresses served via this SMPP receiver session in UNIX regular expression format.

Select the checkbox to specify the message length to be charged as a single message.  Long messages are charged for the number of messages they consist of. For example, a message length is defined as 60 chars. A user sends a message that has 150 chars and is therefore charged for 3 messages (3*60). If this attribute is not specified, the user will be charged for a single message, regardless of its length.

This attribute is applied to domain service policy.

Select the checkbox and then select the mode of connection to the server that determines the reception and the messages sending:

• Transceiver – sends and receives messages from the SMSC over a single SMPP session.
• Transmitter – sends short messages to the short message service center (SMSC) and receives the corresponding Short Message Peer-to-Peer (SMPP) responses from the SMSC.
• Receiver – receives short messages from the SMSC and returns the corresponding SMPP message responses to the SMSC.
