Does NowSMS support the injection of a timestamp /value using the SMPP Optional Parameter Tag 0x1400, the first tag in the SMPP v3.4 specification that is reserved for SMSC vendor-specific optional parameters.

Basically we want to send the date and time stamp in this optional parameter in a Deliver_SM

There is no way to configure NowSMS to generate a new TLV parameter in this way.

If, however, the TLV parameter is being generated by an upstream provider, it is possible to configure NowSMS to forward that parameter to connected clients.

However, because NowSMS will decode the parameter and then re-encode it, it may be necessary to know the format. Assuming it is a text string, you would create the following section in SMSGW.INI to allow this TLV parameter to be forwarded:

[SMPPOptions]
date_time_stamp=1400,String

I need to again emphasize ... this is to forward the parameter, assuming that it is being generated by an upstream provider. NowSMS will not create this parameter if it is not present.
