3.4.3.2 SMPP Basic Configuration - Step by Step

This section helps you define the basic parameters for SMS sending/receiving via SMPP in 2N® VoiceBlue MAX. Read the Messaging subsection carefully before setting details.

Figure 1 shows sending/receiving SMS via SMPP.  Having created user accounts in 2N® VoiceBlue MAX, the users can send/receive SMS via SMPP. The figure shows an example with two SMSC accounts created in 2N® VoiceBlue MAX (to the right). Another 2N® VoiceBlue MAX (ESME) gateway and a PC on which the SMPP (ESME) application is running are connected to these accounts via SMPP. An SMS coming to 2N® VoiceBlue MAX via SMPP is routed according to the gateway outgoing routing rules and sent to GSM. An SMS coming from GSM is routed according to the gateway incoming routing rules and sent to the destination via SMPP.
