SMS MO (Short Message Service Mobile Originating) - Routing configuration in Ericsson MSC

SMS sending bypassing SCAddress in MS (Mobile Station)

Objectives

This document is an answer to customer request to make possible the sending of SMSs directly to a destination without going through SMS-SC configured in MS. Example: SMS delivery to a TeleVoting machine.

Configuration

MGDRI:DANUM=80555, NSCADDR=966yyyyyyyyy;

DANUM=danum : This parameter specifies, in numerical format, the address digits of the Transfer Protocol destination Address TP-DA of the MOSM (B-number). NSCADDR=nscaddr : New SC address to be used for the routing of the MOSMS. In our case Tele-voting address is

Configuration

The syntax of the command can include other parameters i.e. SCADDR. In our case since all SMSs will be routed to same address, this parameter is not included.

Configuration
DANUM can be given in:

Numerical format with: 1. Address digits in a value range 0-9 or #10-#15 Note: # means hexadecimal digits 2. TON with values 0-4, 6-7. Note: Value 5 is restricted since it implies alphanumeric format 3. NAPI with allowed values 0-15

Alphanumerical format with :

1. Address digits containing characters coded according to GSM 7-bit default alphabet 2. TON value 5 (automatically associated) 3. NAPI value 0 (automatically associated)

Test of functionality

This test case is showing that SMS delivery, to a e.g. Tele-Voting machine, is going directly, and NOT first to the SMS-SC configured in MS. Check Subscriber categories for MS(msisdn) in HLR Command: HGSDP:MSISDN=msisdn,SSDA;
