As i liked to use the SMS feature of CommuniGate Pro for sending SMS via Pronto! i had to setup a SMS-Center software supporting the smpp.

NowSMS gave me the possibility to use my old GSM phone as a modem device instead of buying some expensive Hardware-Boxes.

I used my old SonyEricsson W510i as GSM modem device together with NowSMS SMS Center.

Here some screenschots of the basic NowSMS setup.

The first step is setting up a GSM-Device
I had to install the SonyEricsson Modem driver wich was packed together with the mobile phone.
After installation of that driver NowSMS automatically detects that modem and adds it to the list of devices. If you like to install more than one GMS-Device you can simply connect a second data-cable of an additional mobile phone, install the driver and add another modemdevice to the NowSMS config.

After installing the GSM device u need to setup a SMS Service User.

Here You can see how the user was set up.

Now you are ready to configure and enable the smpp service.

When finished, save the setup and start the service.

Now it is time to setup CommuniGate Pro for using the smpp-service.

Open the CommuniGate Pro Admin-Interface and click:

“Settings” –> “Real-Time” –> “SMPP”

I used the default setup.

When finished, You have to add an Entry where to Route the SMS text.
Click “Settings” –> “Router” on the CGP Admin-Interface

If You used “provider1″ for the SMPP name the Routerstatement looks like this:

IM:<*@telnum> = gatewaycaller{*,provider1}#postmaster

Now You are Ready !

If You want to use bi-directional SMS-Chat for example for multiple users via one number you have to configure the NowSMS 2-Way-Setup described in the Manual.
