Usage:
SMPP sends message through standard Internet Paging Gateways. Depending on your system configuration, you may need to start an Internet connection before using SMPP. See your service provider for specific requirements.
Options:
| /= | Display the SMPP command dialog to help you set the command line options. The /= option can be anywhere on the line; additional options will set the appropriate fields in the command dialog. |
| /Priority=n | This option tells the server what type of priority to assign to the message. The possible values are: |
0 - Low
1 - Normal
2 - High
3 - Urgent
The effect of the message priority setting is dependent upon the Message Center manufacturer and the network on which the target recipient lies. For example, some MCs may immediately forward "urgent" messages, some networks may use the priority setting as a visual indicator of the message's urgency (e.g. blinking icons, etc.), and some networks may entirely ignore the priority setting.
0 - 5.0
1 - 3.4
2 - 3.3
The default value is version 3.4 as it is the most widely used version. If version 5.0 is supported it is recommended.
0 - Automatic
1 - Implicit. The SSL negotiation will start immediately after the connection is established.
2 - Explicit. SMPP wil first connect in plaintext, and then explicitly start SSL negoatiation through a protocol command such as STARTTLS.
3 - None. No SSL negotiation, no SSL security. All communication will be in plaintext mode.
The default value is 3.
