Chapter 5. Setting up a SMS Gateway
Variable Value Description
group (m) smsc This is a mandatory variable
smsc (m) string
Identifies the SMS center type.
See below for a complete list.
smsc-id string
An optional name or id for the
smsc. Any string is acceptable,
but semicolon ’;’ may cause
problems, so avoid it and any
other special non-alphabet
characters. This ’id’ is written
into log files and can be used to
route SMS messages, and to
specify the used SMS-service.
Several SMSCs can have the
same id. The name is
case-insensitive. Note that if
SMS Center connection has an
assigned SMSC ID, it does NOT
automatically mean that
messages with identical SMSC
ID are routed to it; instead
configuration variables
denied-smsc-id,
allowed-smsc-id and
preferred-smsc-id is used
for that.
denied-smsc-id id-list
SMS messages with SMSC ID
equal to any of the IDs in this list
are never routed to this SMSC.
Multiple entries are separated
with semicolons (’;’)
allowed-smsc-id id-list
This list is opposite to previous:
only SMS messages with SMSC
ID in this list are ever routed to
this SMSC. Multiple entries are
separated with semicolons (’;’)
preferred-smsc-id id-list
SMS messages with SMSC ID
from this list are sent to this
SMSC instead than to SMSC
without that ID as preferred.
Multiple entries are separated
with semicolons (’;’)
