Chapter 5. Configuring SMS Messaging Server

To enter the properties of a GSM Modem, launch the Manager application from the Start menu an

open the ‘Channels’ folder. Here, you can add new channels, delete channels, and make

modifications to a channel.

The following information can be configured for a GSM Modem Channel:

 Enable/Disable channel – You can enable/disable a channel at any time. When a channel is

disabled, the SMS Messaging Server services will not attempt to send messages through this

channel; it will neither receive messages on this channel;

 Description – A smart description for this channel;

 Enable/Disable Send – Disable the Send option to allow only receiving through this channel;

 Enable/Disable Receive – Disable the Receive option to allow only sending through this

channel;

 Device – Indicates the TAPI driver or direct COM port of the GSM Modem. It is

recommended to use a TAPI (i.e. Windows Telephone), like ‘Standard 9600 bps Modem’.

TAPI devices can be configured from the Windows Control Panel;

 Speed – Indicates the speed used to communicate with the device. This field can only be set

when selecting a direct COM port. However, it is recommended to use a TAPI devices driver

rather than a direct COM port;

 Pin Code – Specifies the Pin Code on the SIM card. Only needs to be set if the SIM requires

a Pin Code;

 Subscriber ID – The Subscriber ID is the actual SMS mobile number associated with the

SIM card of the GSM modem. This number cannot be read from the modem by ActiveXperts

SMS Messaging Server, and therefore needs to be configured manually for your own

convenience. The Subscriber ID will be used in the Message Database to indicate the sender

(for outgoing SMS messages) or Recipient (for incoming SMS messages);

 Check every x seconds for new incoming messages – Indicates how often (in seconds) the

modem should check for new incoming messages

 SMS Limit – The maximum number of outgoing SMS messages allowed per day (sending

only) on this channel;

 Large Messages – Indicates how large outgoing messages (i.e. messages longer than 160

characters) should be treated. There are three options: Truncate messages larger than 160

characters, send the large message as multi-part message, or don’t send the large message at

all (message will fail).

 Leave a copy of the outgoing message on the device – By default, messages will be deleted

from the SIM card after they’ve been received by the SMS Messaging Server. If this is not

desired, enable this option.

The configuration of one single GSM Modem is stored in the

Channel_Gsm table in the

Configuration Database, as one single record. The

Channel_Gsm table can have multiple records.

▼ SMPP Provider Channel

SMS Messaging Server uses a ‘SMPP Channel’ to send/receive SMS messages using an SMPP-

compliant SMSC provider.

You need to sign-up with an SMPP-compliant center before you can actually use their service. It

normally requires a small sign-up free, and a fee for an SMS bundle per month.
