RE: Concatenation Problem in SMPP

[Dedy Sutanto]

Ok it is broke something.   But I disagree with you about “SMPP standard clearly states that short_message may not be longer then 160 characters”.   I have SMPP 3.4 specification. And in SUBMIT_SM, it is mention that short_message is up to 254 octet. It means, we can send SM more than 160 via SMPP 3.4.   I can send you this document (1,5 Mbytes) if you will   Regards, -dedy-       -----Original Message----- From: Oded Arbel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 4:51 PM To: Dedy Sutanto; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Concatenation Problem in SMPP   If you've changed the behaviour of smsbox to solve a driver specific issue, in a non portable way - they heck yes : you broke something. your smsbox will probably not work with any other driver. nor with any other SMPP server except the comverse one, as IIRC the SMPP standard clearly states that short_message may not be longer then 160 characters.   You're using a non compliant SMPP server, even if non-compliant in a good way, meaning  - handles non-compliant clients. your "messages are received binary" is probably related to improer DCS setting.   -- Oded Arbel m-Wise mobile solutions [EMAIL PROTECTED]   +972-9-9581711 (116) +972-67-340014   ::..

I thought, it because the UDH.   Then I did a dirty hack in smsbox.c. I change value MAX_SMS_OCTETS from 140 to 1600. And try sending other plain SMS more than 160. It’s work! I test for logo and ringtones which more than 160 characters. And it’s work too.   I don’t know if my dirty hack will broke something or not. I don’t know either if MMS implementation in my SMSC differs. (I use Comverse SMSC) It seem, SMSC done the concatenation.   Regards -dedy-
