Configuring an SMS Relay

Note: You must enable Wireless-C and CMPP modes to configure SMS Relay.

The SMS Relay (SMSR) establishes a connection to the Short Message Service Center (SMSC), which is used when submitting short messages to the subscriber. The SMSR is configured using the SMS Relay option in the System Administration section of the navigation pane. You can also use this option to set the log levels for the SMS and CMPP logs.

You can also configure a CMPP profile for an individual MPE device. See .
