I believe that in order to chage the DCS into whatever you want, namely the value your are trying to set, F7, you must work with 3 CGI variables: alt-dcs, mclass and coding. set alt-dcs = 1 in order to force DCS to be something like FX. X will be set by the other to variables. a value of 7 (0111) will mean 8-bit coding for message coding part (01) so coding should be 2, and Class3 TE (11) message class so mclass should be set to 4. So, in order to set DCS to F7, try adding to the url the following: &alt-dcs=1&coding=2&mclass=4 Hope this helps.
