SMPP-S Messages

Introduction

The SMPP Application uses SMPP-S-... messages to communicate with other applications (such as the LogicApp) to handle inbound SMPP requests received from an external SMPP entity.

The following applications from the core n2svcd module send SMPP-S-... messages to the SMPP Application:

The following LuaApp agents from the core n2svcd module send SMPP-S-... messages to the SMPP Application:

The internal SMPP-S-... messages are:

SMPP-S-REQUEST

The SMPP-S-REQUEST message is sent by the SMPP Application to the application that is configured for handling of inbound SMPP requests.

Refer to the SMPP Application Configuration documentation for more information on configuring application parameters.

SMPP-S-RESPONSE

The SMPP-S-RESPONSE message is sent back to the SMPP Application by the handling application when it is ready to send an SMPP response for the original received SMPP request.

The attributes of the SMPP-S-RESPONSE message are:

Field Type Description
success 0/1 [Required] Indicates if the request was successful (1) or not (0). If not successful, no response will be sent to the network entity.
error String Indicates the reason why the request failed. Only present if success is 0.
