This page contains links to documents that describe advanced features of the Now SMS/MMS Gateway, or that clarify configuration options.
This document defines accounting callbacks that can be used to integrate the Now SMS/MMS gateway with external accounting systems. The Now SMS/MMS Gateway can be configured to check for authorisation before accepting an SMS or MMS message for delivery, and also to notify an accounting system after the gateway has accepted a submitted message.
This document explains considerations for deploying the Now MMSC in an operator environment, with a particular focus on user provisioning and user MSISDN identification.
This document explains a technique for returning a non-text message in response to a received SMS message via a 2-way SMS command.
This document explains considerations for configuring the Now SMS/MMS Gateway to use the standard web port (port 80) on a PC that is also running Microsoft Internet Information Server, but is configured with multiple IP addresses.
This document explains an HTTP based interface for provisioning MMSC user accounts to compliment the existing menu driven "MMSC Admin" interface.
This document describes how "SMS over GPRS" can be used to achieve transmission speeds of 30 messages per minute with GSM/GPRS modems, a speed that is 3 to 5 times faster that available with conventional SMS over GSM. With the v4.11 release of the Now SMS/MMS Gateway, the GSM modem interface has been optimised to support faster message transmission, particularly when used on devices and networks that support SMS over GPRS.
This document describes how to configure the Now SMS/MMS Gateway and MMSC to route MMS Notification messages via a WAP Push Proxy Gateway (PPG), as an alternative to direct routing over SMS. This configuration option can allow for improved integration of the MMSC with some existing WAP environments.
