Question

SMS Server not receiving from SMSC

Using the gateway configuration file that comes with Colfusion 8, I re-configured the file to read as it is now (attached). Unfortunately when test is sent to my phone number, it is not received for processing in Coldfusion. I downloaded nowSMS and set it up as well. The NowSMS server is receiving alright. So I am wondering what is up with the Coldfusion SMS Server and Secondly how would I be able to make Coldfusion work with the nowSMS server?

# SMSGateway configuration file
# Test server config

# This is the IP address of SMSC
ip-address=190.4.64.43

# Port to bind to
port=7710

# Your system id
system-id=test

# Your password
password=testSMS

# The source address for this client
source-ton=1
source-npi=1
# This is a made-up address
source-address=00447700081736

# The address range this smpp client will serve
# Generally the same as your source address
addr-ton=1
addr-npi=1
address-range=00447700081736

# Message sending rate; how many messages per second is the
# gateway allowed to send to your service provider.
# This can be a decimal (i.e. 0.1). 0 is unlimited.
# The default is 100 messages per second.
message-rate=100.0

# The mode of the gateway; Either synchronous or asynchronous
# In synchronous mode the gateway will wait for the response
# from the server when sending a message and the SendGatewayMessage()
# CFML function will return the SMS messageID of the message
# or an empty string if their is an error. In asynchronous mode,
# the gateway will not wait for a response and the SMS messageID
# will NOT be returned from SendGatewayMessage().
# The default is synchronous.
mode=synchronous

# Should the gateway retry delivery on Network Errors?
# If a network error occurs while trying to deliver a message,
# should the message be queued for delivery when the gateway
# is able to re-bind to the SMSC. This is useful if the gateway
# is in asynchronous mode, where no error status is returned from
# the CFML SendGatewayMessage() function.
# The default is no.
network-retry=no

# Should the gateway retry delievery on Transient Errors?
# If an error is returned from the SMSC that indicates
# the message may be able to be delivered in the future,
# should the gateway attemp to resend send the message?
# This is useful if the gateway is in asynchronous mode,
# where no error status is returned from the CFML
# SendGatewayMessage() function.
# The default is no.
transient-retry=no

# The receive timeout is a timeout for trying to receive a message

# The ping interval is how often the SMS Gateway will send an
# EnquireLink PDU to the server to verify the health of the connection.
# The value is in seconds. The default is 60 seconds.

# The number of connection attempts the gateway will make until it gives up.
# Use -1 to retry until connected. The default is -1 (try forever).

# Connection retry interval; how long to wait between connection attemps.

Why don't you just use Coldfusion's built-in gateway, together with the SMS client simulator. The simulator is at {CF_HOME}/bin/SMSClient.bat
