ESME_ADDRESS_NPI (Integer, 0-255)

ESME NPI to specify when binding to the SMPP server. By default, bind operations specify an ESME NPI value of zero indicating an unknown NPI. With this option, an alternate integer value in the range 0 to 255 may be assigned. See the description of the DEFAULT_DESTINATION_NPI option for a table of typical NPI values.

ESME_ADDRESS_TON (Integer, 0-255)

ESME TON to specify when binding to the SMPP server. By default, bind operations specify an ESME TON value of 0. With this option, an alternate integer value in the range 0 to 255 may be assigned. See the description of the DEFAULT_DESTINATION_TON option for a table of typical TON values.

ESME_IP_ADDRESS (String, 0-15 bytes)

IP address of the host running Messaging Server. When binding to the SMPP server, the bind PDU indicates that the client’s (that is, ESME’s) address range is an IP address. This is done by specifying a TON of 0x00 and an NPI of 0x0d. The value of the address range field is then set to be the IP address of the host running the SMS channel. Specify the IP address in dotted decimal format; for example, 127.0.0.1.

ESME_PASSWORD (String, 0-9 bytes)

Password to present when binding to the SMPP server. If a password is required, then specify it with this option. By default, a zero-length password string is presented. 

ESME_SYSTEM_ID (String, 0-15 bytes)

System identification to present to the SMSC when binding. If a password is required, then specify it with this option. By default, a zero-length password string is presented. 

ESME_SYSTEM_TYPE (String, 0-12 bytes)

System type for the MTA to present to the SMSC when binding. By default, no system type is specified (that is, a zero-length string is used). 

MAX_PAGES_PER_BIND (Integer, >=0)

Maximum number of SMS messages to submit during a single session with an SMPP server. Some SMPP servers may limit the maximum number of SMS messages submitted during a single, bound session. In recognition of this, this option allows specification of the maximum number of SMS messages to submit during a single session. Once that limit is reached, the channel unbinds, closes the TCP/IP connection, re-connects, and then rebinds. 

By default, a value of 1024 is used for MAX_PAGES_PER_BIND. Note that the channel also detects ESME_RTHROTTLED errors and adjusts MAX_PAGES_PER_BIND during a single run of the channel accordingly.

REVERSE_ORDER (0 or 1)

Transmission sequence of multi-part SMS messages. When an email message generates more than one SMS message, those SMS messages can be submitted to the SMSC in sequential order (REVERSE_ORDER=0), or reverse sequential order (REVERSE_ORDER=1). Reverse sequential order is useful for situations where the receiving terminal displays the last received message first. In such a case, the last received message will be the first part of the email message rather than the last. By default, REVERSE_ORDER=1 is used.

Note that this option is ignored when USE_SAR=1 is specified.

SMPP_MAX_CONNECTIONS (Integer, 1-50)

Maximum number of simultaneous SMPP server connections per process. As each connection has an associated thread, this option also places a limit on the maximum number of “worker” threads per process. By default, SMPP_MAX_CONNECTIONS=20.

SMPP_PORT (Integer, 1-65535)

TCP port on which the SMPP server listens. The TCP port may be specified with either this option or the port channel keyword. This port number must be specified through either of these two mechanisms. If it is specified with both mechanisms, then the setting made with the SMPP_PORT option takes precedence. Note that there is no default value for this option.

SMPP_SERVER (String, 1-252 bytes)

Host name of the SMPP server to which to connect. By default, the IP host name of the SMPP server to which to connect is the official host name associated with the channel; that is, the host name shown on the second line of the channel’s definition in MTA’s configuration. This option may be used to specify a different host name or IP address which overrides that specified in the channel definition. When specifying an IP address, use dotted decimal notation; for example, 127.0.0.1

TIMEOUT (Integer, >=2)

Timeout for completion of read and write actions with the SMPP server. By default, a timeout of 30 seconds is used when waiting for data “writes” to the SMPP server to complete or for data to be received from the SMPP server. Use the TIMEOUT option to specify, in units of seconds, a different timeout value. The specified value should be at least 2 seconds.
