C.5.5 Configuring Email-To-Mobile on the Gateway Server

To implement the email-to-mobile part of two-way SMS, you must configure the following:

• C.5.5.1 A Gateway Profile

• C.5.5.2 An SMPP Relay

• C.5.5.3 An SMPP Server

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.

C.5.5.2 An SMPP Relay

To configure an SMPP Relay, complete the following steps:

To Configure an SMPP Relay

1. Add an SMPP relay instantiation (option group) to the SMS Gateway Server’s configuration file.

   To add an option group, use the following format:

   [SMPP_RELAY=relay_name] option-name-1=option-value-1 option-name-2=option-value-2 ... option-name-n=option-value-n

   Any name may be used for the relay’s name. All that matters is that the name not be used for any other SMPP relay instantiation within the same configuration file.

2. Set the LISTEN_PORT option.

   The value used for the SMS channel’s SMPP_PORT option must match that used for the relay’s LISTEN_PORT option. For the LISTEN_PORT, select a TCP port number which is not used by any other SMPP relay or server instantiation nor by any other server running on the same computer.

3. Set the SERVER_HOST option.

   The relay’s SERVER_HOST option should give the host name for the remote SMSC’s SMPP server. An IP address may be used in place of a host name.

4. Set the SERVER_PORT option.

   The relay’s SERVER_PORT option should give the TCP port for the remote SMSC’s SMPP server.

   For a complete description of all SMPP relay options, see C.5.9 SMPP Relay Options

C.5.5.3 An SMPP Server

To configure an SMPP server, complete the following steps:

To Configure an SMPP Server

1. Add an SMPP server instantiation (option group) to the SMS Gateway Server’s configuration file.

   To add an option group, use the following format:

   [SMPP_SERVER=server_name] option-name-1=option-value-1 option-name-2=option-value-2... option-name-n=option-value-n

   Any name may be used for the server’s name. All that matters is that the name not be used for any other SMPP server instantiation within the same configuration file.

2. Set LISTEN_PORT option.

   Select a TCP port number which is not being used by any other server or relay instantiation. Additionally, the port number must not be being used by any other server on the same computer.

   The remote SMSC needs to be configured to route notifications via SMPP to the SMS Gateway Server system using this TCP port.
