Help required to Newbie : How to setup SMPP and send a test SMS.

[Kasim]

Dear All,

 

I am totally new to mobicents platform. My project is to setup SMPP appliaction which will bind to SMSC and send/receive sms. I have downloded & installed the mobicents-jailslee/Jboss on a Linux machine.

I have created the home variables for JBOSS, ant, JAVA & MAVEN & started the Jboss server as per Mobicents SLEE container guide.

 

18:25:30,109 INFO  [Http11Protocol] Starting Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-127.0.0.1-8080
18:25:30,133 INFO  [AjpProtocol] Starting Coyote AJP/1.3 on ajp-127.0.0.1-8009
18:25:30,143 INFO  [ServerImpl] JBoss (Microcontainer) [5.1.0.GA (build: SVNTag=JBoss_5_1_0_GA date=200905221634)] Started in 58s:666ms

 

It seems that Jboss server has started successfully. Now i need help to guide me through the steps required to setup smpp & send a test sms. I have gone through the "SMPP Resource Adapter user guide" but it didnt help. Please point me to an old thread on this form or a document or reply with the required steps so that i can configure sms adapter.

 

Thanks.

I would suggest to read the SMPP Specs along with SMPP RA.

Did you manage to know if the SMSC has exposed SMPP connection as Tx/Rx or both? Do you know the values for parameters like Type of Number, Address etc?

Amit.

Totally agree with Amit on this one   You can get both the 3.3 and 3.4 specifications here:

http://www.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/24856.html

The original SMS forum is no longer (my understanding) and the NowSMS links will take you to the specifications. 

Note: depending on what (or who) your communicating with (e.g. an ESME vs. a SMS-C) you may see different behaviors depending on the SMPP stack.

I always recall having to do some 'live testing' end-to-end to really make sure all was okay (through an entire functional sequence, and beyond).

Best of luck.

Thanks alot Amit and Brian :), really appreciate that.

I have the understanding of SMPP & its specifications. I am new to Eclipse and Java environemnt. Since my last post i have done reading on mobicents and jboss forum and inatalled the SMPP resource adapter and successfully binded it to SMSC:

Hello Kasim,

that tutorial does not include the environnement preparation,

please read this one:  http://yuminstallgit.blogspot.com/2011/12/ive-been-playing-with-mobicents-jain.html 

specially from "Installed a Mobicents SLEE developement environment"

Thanks Ibrahima :)

Now i can successfully create Jain SLEE project. How can i import the packages & methods of SMPP RA like SMPPSession & getSMSCHost() and start using them in my project?
