To send an SMS message
via a menu driven interface, please
see the help section titled “Web
Menu Interface”.
This section describes how to send a
binary message programmatically via
URL parameters.
To send a binary message
via SMS, please refer to the specifications
for the particular binary message format
that you wish to send, and use the following
URL format:
http://127.0.0.1:8800/?PhoneNumber=xxxxxxxx&Data=00112233445566&UDH=060504030201&pid=AA&dcs=AA&binary=1
For 127.0.0.1, please
substitute the IP address or host name
assigned to your gateway PC. (Note:
127.0.0.1 is a local loopback address
that can be utilized when you are connecting
to the gateway from the same computer.)
For 8800, please substitute
the port number that the gateway is
configured to use.
Substitute the phone
number that you wish to send the SMS
message to for the “xxxxxxxx”
in the “PhoneNumber” parameter.
Use either the local phone number format,
or the international phone number format
(your network provider may or may not
allow you to send to international phone
numbers). If the international phone
number format is used, note that you
must substitute “%2B” for
the “+” character, because
of URL escaping restrictions. For example,
to send an SMS to +447778001210, use
%2B447778001210 instead.
The “Data”
parameter should include a string of
hexadecimal digits that form the binary
data content for the message.
The “UDH”
parameter should include a string of
hexadecimal digits that form the binary
user data header for the message. Common
UDH parameter settings include “06050415811581”
for Nokia ring tones, “06050415821582”
for Nokia operator logos, and “06050415831583”
for Nokia CLI logos.
The “pid”
parameter is a hexadecimal value between
0 and FF that specifies the GSM 03.40
TP-Protocol-Identifier.
The “dcs”
parameter is a hexadecimal value between
0 and FF that specifies the GSM 03.38
SMS Data Coding Scheme. F7 is a common
data coding scheme for most binary message
formats.
The “binary”
parameter should be set to “1”
to tell the gateway that this is a binary
message.
An example EMS message
which includes a predefined EMS animation
and a predefined EMS sound is shown
below:
http://127.0.0.1:8800/?phone=xxxxxxxx&udh=080D0200040B020007&data=00&binary=1
Refer to specifications
such as “How to Create EMS Services”
on the Ericsson developer site, and
“Smart Messaging Services”
on the Nokia developer site for more
information on binary formats for SMS
messages.
The gateway includes
some HTML forms to simplify the process
of creating Nokia smart messages. Those
HTML message forms include JavaScript
commands that build the binary message
parameters for submitting smart messages.
Refer to the JavaScript in the corresponding
HTML forms and the Nokia “Smart
Messaging Services” specification
for additional information.
Please note that when
a “user data header” is
included, the data portion of the SMS
message must be encoded in binary format.
Text formats cannot be mixed with a
user data header.
For a complete list
of URL parameters, please refer to the
section “URL
Parameters for Sending Messages”.
