Configuring SMPP Inbound Channels

Incoming messages on an SMPP inbound connection can target any workspace. The destination workspace is determined by the short code of the incoming message.

1. In the Web UI navigation bar, select Workspace Administration, then select Manage Channel Configurations.
2. On the Manage Channels screen, select the SMPP IN tab, and enter values for these parameters:

   Parameter	Description
   Name	Unique name for the channel.
   URL	Host name of the short message service center (SMSC).
   Port	Port number for the listener.
   Username	User name for authentication.
   Password	Valid password for the user name.
   System type	Identifier for SMSC.
   Keep Alive (ms)	Frequency for sending enquire-link requests, in milliseconds; required to keep the SMPP connection alive. SMPP protocol setting.
   Active	To activate the channel, select the check box; to deactivate, unselect the check box.

   Note: Adding, deleting, or modifying a channel requires that you restart all active channels, which impacts all running applications in all workspaces.
3. To restart channels, select Channel Actions > Restart Channels.
