Configuring the application for SMPP

OZEKI SMS supports the SMPP (Short Message Peer to Peer) protocol version 3.3 and 3.4, to connect to an SMSC over the Internet or other private TCP/IP network. Some mobile operators provide SMPP connections for higher volumes of SMS traffic. In order to configure this connection you must perform the following steps:

After installation select the Preferences... from the Server menu.

Once the application is installed and configured properly, you can send an SMS by clicking on the Create SMS icon. This brings up the SMS composer, where you can specify the phone numbers and the message text. Make sure you specify the phones numbers in international format. e.g.: +36209937723. When the message is written, you can send it by clicking on the Send button.
