Variable

Value

Description

group (m)

smsc

This is a mandatory variable

smsc (m)

string

Identifies the SMS center type.

See below for a complete list.

smsc-id

string

An optional name or id for the

smsc. Any string is acceptable,
but semicolon ’;’ may cause
problems, so avoid it and any
other special non-alphabet
characters. This ’id’ is written
into log files and can be used to
route SMS messages, and to
specify the used SMS-service.
Several SMSCs can have the
same id. The name is
case-insensitive. Note that if
SMS Center connection has an
assigned SMSC ID, it does NOT
automatically mean that
messages with identical SMSC
ID are routed to it; instead
configuration variables

denied-smsc-id

,

allowed-smsc-id

and

preferred-smsc-id

is used

for that.

denied-smsc-id

id-list

SMS messages with SMSC ID

equal to any of the IDs in this list
are never routed to this SMSC.
Multiple entries are separated
with semicolons (’;’)

allowed-smsc-id

id-list

This list is opposite to previous:

only SMS messages with SMSC
ID in this list are ever routed to
this SMSC. Multiple entries are
separated with semicolons (’;’)

preferred-smsc-id

id-list

SMS messages with SMSC ID

from this list are sent to this
SMSC instead than to SMSC
without that ID as preferred.
Multiple entries are separated
with semicolons (’;’)
