C.5.5.1 A Gateway Profile

To configure an email-to-mobile gateway profile, follow these steps:

To Configure an Email-to-mobile Gateway Profile

1. Add a gateway profile to the SMS Gateway Server configuration file.

   To add an option group, use the following format:

   [GATEWAY_PROFILE=profile_name] option-name-1=option-value-1 option-name-2=option-value-2a ... option-name-n=option-value-n

   The length of the gateway profile name, profile_name in the preceding format, must not exceed 11 bytes. The name must be the same as the name for the GATEWAY_PROFILE channel option in the SMS channel option file. The name is case insensitive. For a list of the valid channel options, see C.3.3 Available Options

2. Set the gateway profile options (for example, SMSC_DEFAULT_CHARSET) to match characteristics of the remote SMSC.

3. Set the other gateway profile options to match the SMS channel’s email characteristics.

   A complete description of gateway profile options, see C.5.11 Gateway Profile Options

4. Set the CHANNEL option.

   Set its value to the name of the MTA SMS channel.

   When a notification is sent to email through the gateway, the resulting email message will be enqueued to the MTA using this channel name.
