SMPP Class
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The SMPP Class implements a lightweight message transmission interface using the Short Message Peer-to-Peer protocol, most known for its use in cellular text messaging.
Syntax
ipworks.SMPP
Remarks
The SMPP class supports both plaintext and Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) connections. When connecting over Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) the SSLServerAuthentication event allows you to check the server identity and other security attributes. The SSLStatus event provides information about the SSL handshake. Additional SSL-related settings are also supported through the Config method.
The Smpp Class will bind as a transceiver, and thus it can send and receive messages from the server. Additionally, it can send single and multirecipient messages and also can upload data.
Using Smpp is quite easy. First, simply set the SMPPServer, SMPPPort, and, if needed, the SMPPVersion properties. Second, a single call to the Connect method with a specified user Id and password will connect the class.
Transmitting messages is just as easy. You can manipulate the Recipients collection directly, or just use AddRecipient method to add recipients one at a time to the recipient list. After all recipients have been added, a single call to the SendMessage method will transmit the specified message. If the send is successful, the method will set and return the value of the MessageId property. Otherwise, an Error event will fire for each unsuccessful message destination.
The Smpp Class supports message and data transmission, as well as auxiliary operations, such as CheckMessageStatus and ReplaceMessage. All nonimplemented features of the protocol are supported through the SendCommand method and PITrail event. Because of the nature of the protocol, all methods and operations are implemented synchronously.

Connected Property (SMPP Class)
This property indicates whether the class is connected.
Syntax
public boolean isConnected();
Default Value
False
Remarks
This property indicates whether the class is connected to the remote host. Use the Connect and Disconnect methods to manage the connection.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Firewall Property (SMPP Class)
A set of properties related to firewall access.
Syntax
public Firewall getFirewall(); public void setFirewall(Firewall firewall);
Remarks
This is a Firewall-type property, which contains fields describing the firewall through which the class will attempt to connect.
Please refer to the Firewall type for a complete list of fields.Idle Property (SMPP Class)
This property specifies the current status of the class.
Syntax
public boolean isIdle();
Default Value
True
Remarks
Idle will be False if the component is currently busy (communicating or waiting for an answer), and True at all other times.
This property is read-only.
LocalHost Property (SMPP Class)
This property includes the name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.
Syntax
public String getLocalHost(); public void setLocalHost(String localHost);
Default Value
""
Remarks
The LocalHost property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.
In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.
If the class is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).
Note: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.
MessageExpiration Property (SMPP Class)
This property denotes the validity period of the current message.
Syntax
public String getMessageExpiration(); public void setMessageExpiration(String messageExpiration);
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property indicates the Message Center expiration time, after which the message should be discarded if not delivered to the destination. It can be set using absolute or relative time formats.
Absolute Time Format is a 16-character string represented as "YYMMDDhhmmsstnnp" where:
YY | the last two digits of the year (00-99) |
MM | month (01-12) |
DD | day (01-31) |
hh | hour (00-23) |
mm | minute (00-59) |
ss | second (00-59) |
t | tenths of a second (0-9) |
nn | quarter-hour time difference between local time and UTC time (00-48) |
p | "+" or "-" indicating the direction of the time offset in nn |
Relative Time Format is the same 16-character string where "p" should be set to "R" for "relative". For relative time, "tnn" are ignored and thus should be set to a constant value of "000".
MessageId Property (SMPP Class)
This property indicates the identifier of the most recently sent message.
Syntax
public String getMessageId();
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property indicates the identifier of the most recently sent message. After a successful call to SendMessage, this property will be set to the server-assigned Id for that message.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
MessagePriority Property (SMPP Class)
This property indicates the priority level of the current message.
Syntax
public int getMessagePriority(); public void setMessagePriority(int messagePriority); Enumerated values: public final static int smppMessagePriorityLow = 0; public final static int smppMessagePriorityNormal = 1; public final static int smppMessagePriorityHigh = 2; public final static int smppMessagePriorityUrgent = 3;
Default Value
1
Remarks
When sending a message, this property will tell the server what type of priority to assign to the message. The effect of the message priority setting depends on the Message Center (MC) manufacturer and the network on which the target recipient lies. For example, some MCs may immediately forward "urgent" messages, some networks may use the priority setting as a visual indicator of the message's urgency (e.g., blinking icons), and some networks may entirely ignore the priority setting.
Password Property (SMPP Class)
This property contains the user's password.
Syntax
public String getPassword(); public void setPassword(String password);
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property contains the user's password. When binding to the SMPPServer, the client must provide a known user identifier and a valid password for that Id.
The two ways to bind are (1) by calling Connect with a user identifier and password, which will set the UserId and this property before connecting; or (2) by setting those two properties and calling SendMessage while not connected.
Protocol Property (SMPP Class)
This property defines the SMPP protocol to be used.
Syntax
public int getProtocol(); public void setProtocol(int protocol); Enumerated values: public final static int smppSMPP = 0; public final static int smppCIMD2 = 1;
Default Value
0
Remarks

1 (smppCIMD2) | CIMD2 for Nokia Short Message Service Center servers |
Recipients Property (SMPP Class)
This property includes the list of message recipients.
Syntax
public SMPPRecipientList getRecipients(); public void setRecipients(SMPPRecipientList recipients);
Remarks
This property is used to specify the recipient(s) of the message. Each recipient is represented by an SMPPRecipient type, which contains fields for the address and type of address for the recipient.
An AddRecipient method also may be used to add recipients to this collection property.
This collection is indexed from 0 to size -1.
Please refer to the SMPPRecipient type for a complete list of fields.ScheduledDelivery Property (SMPP Class)
This property tells the server when to deliver the current message.
Syntax
public String getScheduledDelivery(); public void setScheduledDelivery(String scheduledDelivery);
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property is used by the class when sending a message to inform the Message Center to forward the message to the intended recipients at a specific time. It can be set using absolute or relative time formats.
Absolute Time Format is a 16-character string represented as "YYMMDDhhmmsstnnp" where:
YY | the last two digits of the year (00-99) |
MM | month (01-12) |
DD | day (01-31) |
hh | hour (00-23) |
mm | minute (00-59) |
ss | second (00-59) |
t | tenths of a second (0-9) |
nn | quarter-hour time difference between local time and UTC time (00-48) |
p | "+" or "-" indicating the direction of the time offset in nn |
Relative Time Format is the same 16-character string where "p" should be set to "R" for "relative". For relative time, "tnn" are ignored and thus should be set to a constant value of "000".
SenderAddress Property (SMPP Class)
This property contains the address of the External Short Messaging Entity (ESME).
Syntax
public String getSenderAddress(); public void setSenderAddress(String senderAddress);
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property contains the address of the External Short Messaging Entity (ESME). The SMPP protocol allows an ESME to specify its address, whether it is a phone number or an IP address. If this property is not set, the class will default to the value in LocalHost.
ServiceType Property (SMPP Class)
This property indicates the type of service for the current message.
Syntax
public int getServiceType(); public void setServiceType(int serviceType); Enumerated values: public final static int smppServiceDefault = 0; public final static int smppServiceCMT = 1; public final static int smppServiceCPT = 2; public final static int smppServiceVMN = 3; public final static int smppServiceVMA = 4; public final static int smppServiceWAP = 5; public final static int smppServiceUSSD = 6; public final static int smppServiceCBS = 7;

Syntax
public int getSMPPPort(); public void setSMPPPort(int SMPPPort);
Default Value
2775
Remarks
For an implicit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), use port 3551 (please refer to the SSLStartMode property for more information).
A valid port number (a value between 1 and 65535) is required for the connection to take place. The property must be set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is established. Any attempt to change this property while connected will fail with an error.
SMPPServer Property (SMPP Class)
This property is the SMPP entity to which the class will connect.
Syntax
public String getSMPPServer(); public void setSMPPServer(String SMPPServer);
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property is the instant messaging server to which the class will connect when the Connect method is called. This property must contain a valid SMPP service application address.

public int getSMPPVersion(); public void setSMPPVersion(int SMPPVersion); Enumerated values: public final static int smppVersion50 = 0; public final static int smppVersion34 = 1; public final static int smppVersion33 = 2;
Default Value
1
Remarks
This property contains the SMPP version to be used throughout the connection.
The default value is version 3.4 because it is the most widely used version of the protocol.
Choosing the highest mutually supported version is generally recommended. Version 3.4 is the default value; however, if version 5.0 is supported, it is recommended.
SSLAcceptServerCert Property (SMPP Class)
This property instructs the class to unconditionally accept the server certificate that matches the supplied certificate.
Syntax
public Certificate getSSLAcceptServerCert(); public void setSSLAcceptServerCert(Certificate SSLAcceptServerCert);
Remarks
If it finds any issues with the certificate presented by the server, the class will normally terminate the connection with an error.
You may override this behavior by supplying a value for SSLAcceptServerCert. If the certificate supplied in SSLAcceptServerCert is the same as the certificate presented by the server, then the server certificate is accepted unconditionally, and the connection will continue normally.
Note: This functionality is provided only for cases in which you otherwise know that you are communicating with the right server. If used improperly, this property may create a security breach. Use it at your own risk.
Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.SSLCert Property (SMPP Class)
This property includes the certificate to be used during Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) negotiation.
Syntax
public Certificate getSSLCert(); public void setSSLCert(Certificate SSLCert);
Remarks
This property includes the digital certificate that the class will use during SSL negotiation. Set this property to a valid certificate before starting SSL negotiation. To set a certificate, you may set the Encoded field to the encoded certificate. To select a certificate, use the store and subject fields.
Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.SSLEnabled Property (SMPP Class)
This property indicates whether Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer (TLS/SSL) is enabled.
Syntax
public boolean isSSLEnabled(); public void setSSLEnabled(boolean SSLEnabled);
Default Value
False
Remarks
This property specifies whether TLS/SSL is enabled in the class. When False (default), the class operates in plaintext mode. When True, TLS/SSL is enabled.
TLS/SSL may also be enabled by setting SSLStartMode. Setting SSLStartMode will automatically update this property value.
This property is not available at design time.
SSLProvider Property (SMPP Class)
This property specifies the Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) implementation to use.
Syntax
public int getSSLProvider(); public void setSSLProvider(int SSLProvider); Enumerated values: public final static int sslpAutomatic = 0; public final static int sslpPlatform = 1; public final static int sslpInternal = 2;
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use. In most cases the default value of 0 (Automatic) is recommended and should not be changed. When set to 0 (Automatic), the class will select whether to use the platform implementation or the internal implementation depending on the operating system as well as the TLS version being used.
Possible values are as follows:
0 (sslpAutomatic - default) | Automatically selects the appropriate implementation. |
1 (sslpPlatform) | Uses the platform/system implementation. |
2 (sslpInternal) | Uses the internal implementation. |
In most cases using the default value (Automatic) is recommended. The class will select a provider depending on the current platform.
When Automatic is selected, the platform implementation is used by default. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols, the internal implementation is used.
SSLServerCert Property (SMPP Class)
This property includes the server certificate for the last established connection.
Syntax
public Certificate getSSLServerCert();
Remarks
SSLServerCert contains the server certificate for the last established connection.
SSLServerCert is reset every time a new connection is attempted.
This property is read-only.
Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.SSLStartMode Property (SMPP Class)
This property determines how the class starts the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) negotiation.
Syntax

Default Value
3
Remarks
The SSLStartMode property may have one of the following values:
0 (sslAutomatic) | If the remote port is set to the standard plaintext port of the protocol (where applicable), the class will behave the same as if SSLStartMode is set to sslExplicit. In all other cases, SSL negotiation will be implicit (sslImplicit). |
1 (sslImplicit) | The SSL negotiation will start immediately after the connection is established. |
2 (sslExplicit) | The class will first connect in plaintext, and then will explicitly start SSL negotiation through a protocol command such as STARTTLS. |
3 (sslNone - default) | No SSL negotiation; no SSL security. All communication will be in plaintext mode. |
SystemType Property (SMPP Class)
This property contains a string representing the type of system during a connection.
Syntax
public String getSystemType(); public void setSystemType(String systemType);
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property contains a string representing the type of system during a connection. Some SMS servers require that a system type be supplied during connection. The system type is a string representation, usually as an abbreviation, of a particular kind of system. The string cannot exceed 12 bytes.
Timeout Property (SMPP Class)
This property includes the timeout for the class.
Syntax
public int getTimeout(); public void setTimeout(int timeout);
Default Value
60
Remarks
If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.
If Timeout is set to a positive value, the class will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.
The class will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not freeze and remains responsive.
If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the class throws an exception.
Note: By default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, that is, the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.
The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds.
UserId Property (SMPP Class)
This property is used for identification with the SMPP service.
Syntax
public String getUserId(); public void setUserId(String userId);
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property is used for identification with the SMPP service. When binding to the SMPPServer, the client must provide a known user identifier and a valid password for that Id.
The two ways to bind are (1) by calling Connect with a user Id and password, which will set the UserId and Password properties before connecting; or (2) by setting those two properties and calling SendMessage while not connected.
AddRecipient Method (SMPP Class)
This method will add a recipient of the specified type to the recipient list.
Syntax
public void addRecipient(int recipientType, String recipientAddress);
Remarks
This method will add a recipient of the specified type to the recipient list. For normal-type recipients, the addresses should be either a dotted IPv4 address (for sending messages to other SMS-enabled applications) or the directory number of a mobile phone. To send messages to distributed lists, the name of the list should be used.
Valid values for RecipientType are as follows:
0 (smppRecipientTypeNormal) | Normal SME (Short Message Entity) Address |
1 (smppRecipientTypeList) | Distribution List |
CancelMessage Method (SMPP Class)
This method will cancel the specified message.
Syntax
public void cancelMessage(String messageId);
Remarks
This method will cancel the message stored on the SMPPServer under the value in MessageId.
CheckLink Method (SMPP Class)
This method will check the connection to the server.
Syntax
public void checkLink();
Remarks
This method will check the connection to the server. This method is used to ensure that the host on the other end of the connection is still active, or that it is still available. Although a socket connection may still be available between the client and server, the SMS application on the server may have been taken offline without releasing the socket or the CPU may be bogged down. This method will send a PDU to the server and wait the length of Timeout for a response.
CheckMessageStatus Method (SMPP Class)
This method will retrieve the status of the specified message.
Syntax
public void checkMessageStatus(String messageId);
Remarks
This method will retrieve the last known status of the message stored on the server under MessageId. The class will fire a MessageStatus containing the parsed response from the server.
Config Method (SMPP Class)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
public String config(String configurationString);
Remarks
Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.
These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.
To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).
To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.
Connect Method (SMPP Class)
This method will bind as a transceiver to the SMPP service.
Syntax
public void connect();
Remarks
This method will establish a socket connection to the SMPPServer and attempt to bind as a transceiver. Once the bind operation has been completed, a Connected event will be fired containing the status of the connection.
ConnectTo Method (SMPP Class)
This method will bind as a transceiver to the SMPP service.
Syntax
public void connectTo(String userId, String password);
Remarks

Assuming that a message on the SMPPServer is being stored under the value in MessageId, this method will replace that message with the value in NewMessage.
If no message corresponds to MessageId, the SMS service will respond with an error message.
Reset Method (SMPP Class)
This method will reset the class.
Syntax
public void reset();
Remarks
This method will reset the class's properties to their default values.
SendCommand Method (SMPP Class)
This method will format and send a protocol data unit (PDU) using the specified command identifier and payload.
Syntax
public byte[] sendCommand(int commandId, byte[] payload);
Remarks
This method offers a way to do more with the class than is directly supported. This method takes a command identifier and a payload, which includes every required and optional field after the header, and creates the 16-byte header for it before sending it to the server. The response PDU is returned both in the PITrail and by this method.
SendData Method (SMPP Class)
This method sends raw data to Recipients .
Syntax
public String sendData(byte[] data);
Remarks
This method sends raw data to Recipients. Up to 64 KB of additional data can be supplied at a time for transmission to the SMPPServer. Unlike the SendMessage method, this method can send to only one destination at a time. The target is whatever value is in the Recipients collection.
SendMessage Method (SMPP Class)
This method sends a message to all recipients in the recipient list.
Syntax
public String sendMessage(String message);
Remarks
This method sends a message to all recipients in the recipient list. The return value of this method is the server-assigned identifier of the message. The maximum size of the message sent is 256 bytes.
Connected Event (SMPP Class)
This event is fired after a successful bind operation.
Syntax
public class DefaultSMPPEventListener implements SMPPEventListener { ... public void connected(SMPPConnectedEvent e) {} ... } public class SMPPConnectedEvent { public int statusCode; public String description; }
Remarks
After establishing a socket connection to the SMPPServer, the class will attempt to send a bind as a transmitter command. Upon completion of this operation, the server will respond with either a success or failure state, which will be reflected in the Connected event's parameters.
StatusCode will contain the command status (error code) returned by the server. For a StatusCode of 0, Description will be OK. Otherwise, it will contain a standard interpretation of the error.
ConnectionStatus Event (SMPP Class)
This event is fired to indicate changes in the connection state.
Syntax
public class DefaultSMPPEventListener implements SMPPEventListener { ... public void connectionStatus(SMPPConnectionStatusEvent e) {} ... } public class SMPPConnectionStatusEvent { public String connectionEvent; public int statusCode; public String description; }
Remarks
The ConnectionStatus event is fired when the connection state changes: for example, completion of a firewall or proxy connection or completion of a security handshake.
The ConnectionEvent parameter indicates the type of connection event. Values may include the following:
Firewall connection complete. | |
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or S/Shell handshake complete (where applicable). | |
Remote host connection complete. | |
Remote host disconnected. | |
SSL or S/Shell connection broken. | |
Firewall host disconnected. |
Disconnected Event (SMPP Class)
This event is fired when connection to the SMS service is lost.
Syntax
public class DefaultSMPPEventListener implements SMPPEventListener { ... public void disconnected(SMPPDisconnectedEvent e) {} ... } public class SMPPDisconnectedEvent { public int statusCode; public String description; }
Remarks
After sending an unbind operation to the server, this event will be fired containing the results of that operation. This event may also be fired if the socket connection to the service is lost.
If the event was fired because of an unbind operation, StatusCode will contain the command status set by the server. Otherwise, it will contain the socket code for the type of disconnection. For a status code value of 0, Description will contain OK. Otherwise, it will contain a standard interpretation of the value in StatusCode.
Error Event (SMPP Class)
This event is fired when the server detects an error.
Syntax
public class DefaultSMPPEventListener implements SMPPEventListener { ... public void error(SMPPErrorEvent e) {} ... } public class SMPPErrorEvent { public int errorCode; public String description; }
Remarks
If the server sends an error not related to a command sent from the class, the class will fire an Error event containing information related to the error.
ErrorCode will contain the code sent by the server, and Description will contain a standard interpretation of that code.
MessageIn Event (SMPP Class)
This event is fired upon receipt of a message.
Syntax
public class DefaultSMPPEventListener implements SMPPEventListener { ... public void messageIn(SMPPMessageInEvent e) {} ... } public class SMPPMessageInEvent { public String sourceAddress; public String scheduleDeliveryTime; public String validityPeriod; public String message; public int messagePart; public int messagePartCount; public int messagePartReference; public String destinationAddress; public int responseErrorCode; //read-write }
Remarks
When a message is received, the SMPP class will parse the sender's message into the SourceAddress, ScheduleDeliveryTime, ValidityPeriod, and Message fields.
The SourceAddress parameter is the address of the originator of the message.
The DestinationAddress parameter holds the address of the recipient.
The ScheduleDeliveryTime parameter is the delivery time at which the short message is scheduled to be forwarded to another Message Center (MC). This will be an empty string if it is not scheduled.
The ValidityPeriod parameter is applicable only if this short message is being forwarded to another MC. When this occurs, it specifies how long the receiving MC should retain the Short Message (SM) and continue trying to deliver it. This will be an empty string if the current validity period is unavailable.
The Message parameter is the plaintext portion of the message body.
If the incoming message is a part of a larger message (the message was split up into several parts), the MessagePartCount, MessagePart, and MessagePartReference parameters will be set. MessagePartCount will hold the total number of parts for the message. MessagePart will indicate the current part's location in the message to determine the order when reassembling the message. This will be a value from 1 to MessagePartCount. MessagePartReference holds a reference value that will be the same across all parts for the message.
The ResponseErrorCode parameter may be set to return an error condition to the server. This corresponds to the command_status protocol-level field of the response.
MessageStatus Event (SMPP Class)
This event is fired upon receipt of a message.
Syntax
public class DefaultSMPPEventListener implements SMPPEventListener { ... public void messageStatus(SMPPMessageStatusEvent e) {} ... } public class SMPPMessageStatusEvent { public String messageId; public int messageState; public int messageError; public String finalDate; }
Remarks
When a CheckMessageStatus is called, the SMPP class will retrieve the status of the message represented by MessageId from the server, parse the response, and fire MessageStatus.
MessageState represents the last known state the message was left in on the SMPPServer. This code is version specific. For v3.4:
1 | ENROUTE, the message is en route. |
2 | DELIVERED, the message is delivered. |
3 | EXPIRED, the message validity period expired. |
4 | DELETED, the message has been deleted. |
5 | UNDELIVERABLE, the message is undeliverable. |
6 | ACCEPTED, the message has been read on behalf of subscriber by customer service. |
7 | UNKNOWN, the message is in an invalid state. |
8 | REJECTED, the message is in a rejected state. |
0 | SCHEDULED, the message is scheduled for delivery, but it has not yet been delivered. |
1 | ENROUTE, the message is en route. |
2 | DELIVERED, the message is delivered. |
3 | EXPIRED, the message validity period expired. |
4 | DELETED, the message has been deleted. |
5 | UNDELIVERABLE, the message is undeliverable. |
6 | ACCEPTED, the message has been read on behalf of subscriber by customer service. |
7 | UNKNOWN, the message is in an invalid state. |
8 | REJECTED, the message is in a rejected state. |
9 | SKIPPED, the message was accepted but not delivered. |
MessageError will contain an error code representing any failure encountered during message delivery. This code may be vendor-specific.
FinalDate contains a human-readable string representing the date on which the message was delivered. If the message was not delivered, this parameter will be empty.
PITrail Event (SMPP Class)
This event is fired once for each protocol data unit (PDU) sent between the client and server.
Syntax
public class DefaultSMPPEventListener implements SMPPEventListener { ... public void PITrail(SMPPPITrailEvent e) {} ... } public class SMPPPITrailEvent { public int direction; public byte[] PDU; public int commandLength; public int commandId; public String commandDescription; public String commandStatus; public int sequenceNumber; }
Remarks
Whenever either the class or the SMPPServer sends any data across the connection, the class will fire a PITrail event containing that data. It will usually be in SMPP-PDU format.
A PDU will contain at least the SMPP header, which is always 16 bytes long. The first four bytes represent the total length of the PDU, including the 16-byte header. The next four bytes are the command Id associated with the PDU. The command Id of a response PDU is always the command Id to which it is responding plus 0x80000000.
The class parses the values contained in the PDU header into the appropriate fields. The CommandLength, CommandId, CommandStatus, and SequenceNumber parameters contain these parsed values.
The third set of four bytes are the command status (status code) of the command. All originating commands will have a status code of 0x00000000, which will be ignored by the receiver. The field is only set in response PDUs to indicate the status of the originating command. The final four bytes represent the sequence number of the command. All response PDUs will contain the same sequence number as the originating command.
ReadyToSend Event (SMPP Class)
This event is fired when the class is ready to send data.
Syntax
public class DefaultSMPPEventListener implements SMPPEventListener { ... public void readyToSend(SMPPReadyToSendEvent e) {} ... } public class SMPPReadyToSendEvent { }
Remarks
The ReadyToSend event indicates that the underlying Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP subsystem is ready to accept data after a failed SendBytes. This event also is fired immediately after a connection to the remote host is established.
SSLServerAuthentication Event (SMPP Class)
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax
public class DefaultSMPPEventListener implements SMPPEventListener { ... public void SSLServerAuthentication(SMPPSSLServerAuthenticationEvent e) {} ... } public class SMPPSSLServerAuthenticationEvent { public byte[] certEncoded; public String certSubject; public String certIssuer; public String status; public boolean accept; //read-write }
Remarks
During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.
When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.
SSLStatus Event (SMPP Class)
Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.
Syntax
public class DefaultSMPPEventListener implements SMPPEventListener { ... public void SSLStatus(SMPPSSLStatusEvent e) {} ... } public class SMPPSSLStatusEvent { public String message; }
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

Opens CertificateFile and reads out the contents as an X.509 public key.
public Certificate( encoded);
Parses Encoded as an X.509 public key.
public Certificate( storeType, store, storePassword, subject);
CertStoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See StoreType for descriptions of the different certificate stores. Store is a file containing the certificate store. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store. After the store has been successfully opened, the class will attempt to find the certificate identified by Subject . This can be either a complete or a substring match of the X.509 certificate's subject Distinguished Name (DN). The Subject parameter can also take an MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 thumbprint of the certificate to load in a "Thumbprint=value" format.
public Certificate( storeType, store, storePassword, subject, configurationString);
CertStoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See StoreType for descriptions of the different certificate stores. Store is a file containing the certificate store. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store. ConfigurationString is a newline separated list of name-value pairs that may be used to modify the default behavior. Possible values include "PersistPFXKey", which shows whether or not the PFX key is persisted after performing operations with the private key. This correlates to the PKCS12_NO_PERSIST_KEY CryptoAPI option. The default value is True (the key is persisted). "Thumbprint" - an MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 thumbprint of the certificate to load. When specified, this value is used to select the certificate in the store. This is applicable to cstUser, cstMachine, cstPublicKeyFile, and cstPFXFile store types. "UseInternalSecurityAPI" shows whether the platform (default) or the internal security API is used when performing certificate-related operations. After the store has been successfully opened, the class will attempt to find the certificate identified by Subject . This can be either a complete or a substring match of the X.509 certificate's subject Distinguished Name (DN). The Subject parameter can also take an MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 thumbprint of the certificate to load in a "Thumbprint=value" format.
public Certificate( storeType, store, storePassword, encoded);

CertStoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See StoreType for descriptions of the different certificate stores. Store is a string (binary- or Base64-encoded) containing the certificate store. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store. After the store has been successfully opened, the class will load Encoded as an X.509 certificate and search the opened store for a corresponding private key.
Firewall Type
The firewall the class will connect through.
Remarks
When connecting through a firewall, this type is used to specify different properties of the firewall, such as the firewall Host and the FirewallType.
Fields
AutoDetect
boolean
Default Value: False
This field tells the class whether or not to automatically detect and use firewall system settings, if available.
Connection information will first be obtained from Java system properties, such as http.proxyHost and https.proxyHost. Java properties may be set in a variety of ways; please consult the Java documentation for information about how firewall and proxy values can be specified.
If no Java system properties define connection information, the class will inspect the Windows registry for connection information that may be present on the system (applicable only on Windows systems).
FirewallType
int
Default Value: 0
This field determines the type of firewall to connect through. The applicable values are as follows:
fwNone (0) | No firewall (default setting). |
fwTunnel (1) | Connect through a tunneling proxy. Port is set to 80. |
fwSOCKS4 (2) | Connect through a SOCKS4 Proxy. Port is set to 1080. |
fwSOCKS5 (3) | Connect through a SOCKS5 Proxy. Port is set to 1080. |
fwSOCKS4A (10) | Connect through a SOCKS4A Proxy. Port is set to 1080. |
Host
String
Default Value: ""
This field contains the name or IP address of the firewall (optional). If a Host is given, the requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting.
If this field is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, this field is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, the class throws an exception.
Password
String
Default Value: ""
This field contains a password if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall. If Host is specified, the User and Password fields are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the class throws an exception.
Port
int
Default Value: 0
This field contains the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the firewall Host. See the description of the Host field for details.
Note: This field is set automatically when FirewallType is set to a valid value. See the description of the FirewallType field for details.
User
String
Default Value: ""
This field contains a username if authentication is to be used when connecting through a firewall. If Host is specified, this field and the Password field are used to connect and authenticate to the given Firewall. If the authentication fails, the class throws an exception.
Constructors
public Firewall();
SMPPRecipient Type
This type describes a recipient of the SMPP message.
Remarks
This type describes a recipient of the SMPP message that is being sent. The fields describe the RecipientType of recipient and the Address of the recipient of the message.
Fields
Address
String
Default Value: ""
This field contains the email address of a particular recipient. This can be used to set single or multiple recipients. The RecipientType contains the corresponding type.
For a recipient type of normal, the value in the Address should be either the dotted IPv4 of an SMS-enabled device or the directory number of a target mobile phone. For distributed lists, the value should be the name of the list as it is stored on the SMPPServer.
RecipientType
int
Default Value: 0
This field contains the type of a particular recipient. This field is used only for multiple recipient messages. The Address contains the corresponding recipient's address.
For a recipient type of normal, the value in Address should be either the dotted IPv4 of an SMS-enabled device or the directory number of a target mobile phone. For distributed lists, the value should be the name of the list as it is stored on the SMPPServer.
Valid values for RecipientType are as follows:
0 (smppRecipientTypeNormal) | Normal SME (Short Message Entity) Address |
1 (smppRecipientTypeList) | Distribution List |
Constructors
public SMPPRecipient();
public SMPPRecipient( address);
public SMPPRecipient( address, recipientType);
Config Settings (SMPP Class)
The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.SMPP Config Settings
Note 1: For IP addresses, it is only possible to specify a single IP address. A range of IP addresses is not allowed. IP version 6.0 is not currently supported in this version of the protocol.
Note 2: It is likely that the addr_range field is not supported or deliberately ignored on most Message Centers (MCs). Most carriers will not allow an ESME to control the message routing because this can carry the risk of incorrectly routing messages. In such circumstances, the ESME will be requested to set the field to NULL.
- One two-byte integer containing the parameter type (tag).
- One two-byte integer indicating the length of the data contained in this parameter.
- The variable-length parameter data itself.
For instance, to add a gn_lookup_userdata parameter, the type/tag is decimal 5633 (that's 0x1601 in hex), and the data in this example is "Hello World", which is 11 characters in length. So the TLV is as follows: 5633 + 11 + "Hello World", or 0x16 0x01 0x00 0x0b and then the ASCII text "Hello World". When hex-encoded, this yields the string "1601000b48656c6c6f20576f726c64". This is the value you would then use to set the CustomTLV configuration setting. You are not restricted to only one optional parameter. Multiple TLV parameters may be concatenated together.
Note: This is advanced functionality, and the class does not verify the data in this configuration setting before transmission. After the class internally decodes the string back into binary, it is passed on inside the protocol data unit (PDU) as-is without validation or modification.
This configuration setting is applicable only when using the SendMessage or SendData methods.

TCPClient Config Settings
If the FirewallHost setting is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the FirewallHost setting is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.
Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
If this entry is set, the class acts as a server. RemoteHost and RemotePort are used to tell the SOCKS firewall in which address and port to listen to. The firewall rules may ignore RemoteHost, and it is recommended that RemoteHost be set to empty string in this case.
RemotePort is the port in which the firewall will listen to. If set to 0, the firewall will select a random port. The binding (address and port) is provided through the ConnectionStatus event.
The connection to the firewall is made by calling the Connect method.
Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.
In the case that Linger is True (default), two scenarios determine how long the connection will linger. In the first, if LingerTime is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP timeout expires.
In the second scenario, if LingerTime is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified LingerTime is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection.
The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in a long delay in closing the connection. Although the class returns control immediately, the system could hold system resources until all pending data are sent (even after your application closes).
Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you sent (e.g., by a client acknowledgment), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action.
In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface), setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface.
If the class is connected, the LocalHost setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).
Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by LocalPort after the connection is established.
LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.
This configuration setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port on the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.
If an EOL string is found in the input stream before MaxLineLength bytes are received, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to True, and the buffer is reset.
If no EOL is found, and MaxLineLength bytes are accumulated in the buffer, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to False, and the buffer is reset.
The minimum value for MaxLineLength is 256 bytes. The default value is 2048 bytes.

SSL Config Settings
When enabled, SSL packet logs are output using the SSLStatus event, which will fire each time an SSL packet is sent or received.
Enabling this configuration setting has no effect if SSLProvider is set to Platform.
If set to True, the class will reuse the context if and only if the following criteria are met:
- The target host name is the same.
- The system cache entry has not expired (default timeout is 10 hours).
- The application process that calls the function is the same.
- The logon session is the same.
- The instance of the class is the same.

When set to 0 (default), the CRL check will not be performed by the class. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the CRL check, but it will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support CRL. When set to 2, it will perform the CRL check and will throw an error if CRL is not supported.
This configuration setting is supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.
When set to 0 (default), the class will not perform an OCSP check. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the OCSP check, but it will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support OCSP. When set to 2, it will perform the OCSP check and will throw an error if OCSP is not supported.
This configuration setting is supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.
Note: This configuration setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the SSLStatus event.
Use this configuration setting with caution. Requesting a lower cipher strength than necessary could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application.
When the provider is OpenSSL, SSLCipherStrength is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the OpenSSLCipherList configuration setting.
The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:

By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").
The special value "*" means that the class will pick all of the supported cipher suites. If SSLEnabledCipherSuites is set to any other value, only the specified cipher suites will be considered.
Multiple cipher suites are separated by semicolons.
Note: This value must be set after SSLProvider is set.
Example values:

When TLS 1.3 is negotiated (see SSLEnabledProtocols), only the following cipher suites are supported:
- TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
- TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
- TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.
Not all supported protocols are enabled by default. The default value is 4032 for client components, and 3072 for server components. To specify a combination of enabled protocol versions set this config to the binary OR of one or more of the following values:
TLS1.3 | 12288 (Hex 3000) |
TLS1.2 | 3072 (Hex C00) (Default - Client and Server) |
TLS1.1 | 768 (Hex 300) (Default - Client) |
TLS1 | 192 (Hex C0) (Default - Client) |
SSL3 | 48 (Hex 30) |
SSL2 | 12 (Hex 0C) |
Note that only TLS 1.2 is enabled for server components that accept incoming connections. This adheres to industry standards to ensure a secure connection. Client components enable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 by default and will negotiate the highest mutually supported version when connecting to a server, which should be TLS 1.2 in most cases.
SSLEnabledProtocols: Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 Notes:
By default when TLS 1.3 is enabled, the class will use the internal TLS implementation when the SSLProvider is set to Automatic for all editions.
In editions that are designed to run on Windows, SSLProvider can be set to Platform to use the platform implementation instead of the internal implementation. When configured in this manner, please note that the platform provider is supported only on Windows 11/Windows Server 2022 and up. The default internal provider is available on all platforms and is not restricted to any specific OS version.
If set to 1 (Platform provider), please be aware of the following notes:
- The platform provider is available only on Windows 11/Windows Server 2022 and up.
- SSLEnabledCipherSuites and other similar SSL configuration settings are not supported.
- If SSLEnabledProtocols includes both TLS 1.3 and TLS 1.2, these restrictions are still applicable even if TLS 1.2 is negotiated. Enabling TLS 1.3 with the platform provider changes the implementation used for all TLS versions.
SSLEnabledProtocols: SSL2 and SSL3 Notes:
SSL 2.0 and 3.0 are not supported by the class when the SSLProvider is set to internal. To use SSL 2.0 or SSL 3.0, the platform security API must have the protocols enabled and SSLProvider needs to be set to platform.
This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.
If set to True, all certificates returned by the server will be present in the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event. This includes the leaf certificate, any intermediate certificate, and the root certificate.
Note: When SSLProvider is set to Internal this value is automatically set to true. This is needed for proper validation when using the internal provider.
When set, the class will save the session secrets in the same format as the SSLKEYLOGFILE environment variable functionality used by most major browsers and tools, such as Chrome, Firefox, and cURL. This file can then be used in tools such as Wireshark to decrypt TLS traffic for debugging purposes. When writing to this file, the class will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.
Note: This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.
Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipher[connId]");
Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:

Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedKeyExchangeStrength[connId]");
Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:

The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ... Intermediate Cert... eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj -----END CERTIFICATE----- \r \n -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp ... Root Cert... d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA -----END CERTIFICATE-----
When specified the class will verify that the server certificate signature algorithm is among the values specified in this configuration setting. If the server certificate signature algorithm is unsupported, the class throws an exception.
The format of this value is a comma-separated list of hash-signature combinations. For instance:
component.SSLProvider = TCPClientSSLProviders.sslpInternal;
component.Config("SSLEnabledProtocols=3072"); //TLS 1.2
component.Config("TLS12SignatureAlgorithms=sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa");
The default value for this configuration setting is sha512-ecdsa,sha512-rsa,sha512-dsa,sha384-ecdsa,sha384-rsa,sha384-dsa,sha256-ecdsa,sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha224-ecdsa,sha224-rsa,sha224-dsa,sha1-ecdsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa.
To not restrict the server's certificate signature algorithm, specify an empty string as the value for this configuration setting, which will cause the signature_algorithms TLS 1.2 extension to not be sent.
The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1.
When using TLS 1.2 and SSLProvider is set to Internal, the values refer to the supported groups for ECC. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)
The default value is set to balance common supported groups and the computational resources required to generate key shares. As a result, only some groups are included by default in this configuration setting.
Note: All supported groups can always be used during the handshake even if not listed here, but if a group is used that is not present in this list, it will incur an additional roundtrip and time to generate the key share for that group.
In most cases, this configuration setting does not need to be modified. This should be modified only if there is a specific reason to do so.
The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072
The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_x25519" (default)
- "ecdhe_x448"
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1"
- "ffdhe_2048" (default)
- "ffdhe_3072" (default)
- "ffdhe_4096"
- "ffdhe_6144"
- "ffdhe_8192"
- "ed25519" (default)
- "ed448" (default)

- "ecdsa_secp384r1_sha384" (default)
- "ecdsa_secp521r1_sha512" (default)
- "rsa_pkcs1_sha256" (default)

- "rsa_pss_sha256" (default)
- "rsa_pss_sha384" (default)
- "rsa_pss_sha512" (default)
The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_x448,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072,ffdhe_4096,ffdhe_6144,ffdhe_8192

Socket Config Settings
Note: This option is not valid for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
Base Config Settings
In some non-GUI applications, an invalid message loop may be discovered that will result in errant behavior. In these cases, setting GUIAvailable to false will ensure that the class does not attempt to process external events.
- Product: The product the license is for.
- Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
- License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
- License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
- Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.
This setting only works on these classes: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.
Setting this configuration setting to true tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.
This setting is set to false by default on all platforms.
