Wholesale SMS delivery

Similarly to wholesale voice traffic termination, you can configure PortaSwitch to serve as an intermediate SMS aggregator: it will collect SMS traffic from your customers and deliver it to large SMS aggregators via the SMPP protocol. As the service provider and PortaSwitch owner, you earn a profit from the difference between:

• The price you charge your customers for passing the SMS traffic received from them to SMS aggregators, and
• The price you pay SMS aggregators for the SMS traffic transmission.

Most SMS aggregators operate with destinations in the E.212 format. This format defines a destination as a combination of the mobile country code (MCC) and the mobile network code (MNC), such as 310-410 and 310-260 for the US.

To determine whether destination numbers have been ported and to ensure that SMS messages are routed to the correct network and charged at the correct rate, enable number portability lookup.

Customer SmartNet sends bulk SMS traffic to your network from their gateway via the SMPP protocol. You authorize SmartNet to use the IP address and re-send their SMS traffic to the SMS aggregator (e.g., http://www.lleida.net) for further delivery to subscribers.

SmartNet requires PortaSwitch to establish a binding connection with their gateway. Therefore, SmartNet is configured both as a vendor (for PortaSwitch to bind to their system as a transceiver) and as a customer, since SmartNet is charged for sending SMS traffic.

Before proceeding with the configuration, register an account with www.hlr-lookups.com.

To configure HLR lookup, obtain the following information beforehand:

• The login and password of your HLR lookup account.
• The HLR Route name from the list of routing options. By default, the IP1 route is used.
• The HLR Storage name, if you have a dedicated storage for the lookup results configured on www.hlr-lookups.com.

2. Select E.212 in the Format field.
3. Fill in the rate code information. This includes the MCC and MNC codes. Start typing the code to narrow the search. The Country and Network fields will be auto-populated. You can use the Description field to store extra information about the rate code (e.g., proper).

   

4. Click Save.
5. Repeat these steps for any additional rate codes you would like to add.

Create a service policy that defines how PortaSIP routes and authorizes messages. Before sending a message, PortaSIP matches the recipient’s domain with the domain pattern in the service policies. The matching policy is then used to handle the message in a specific way (e.g., send it over SMPP or SIP).

1. On the navigation menu, go to Service catalog > Service policies.
2. Click + Policy and fill in the service policy details in the General tab:
   • Service – select Messaging.
   • Name – specify the name of the service policy (e.g., SMS service).
   • Description – specify a short description for this service policy.
   • Match policy based on – select SIP.
   • Recipient domain pattern – specify a pattern according to which the service policy will be selected. Type % for the SMS service.
   • Match priority – specify 5 in this field.

     

3. Click Save & Edit.
4. In the Attributes tab, go to the Processing messages over SIP/SMPP section, and specify the following attributes:
   • External routing – select Enabled to send SMS traffic to off-net vendors.
   • Local lookup – select Disabled.
   • Outgoing AAA – select Enabled to enable outgoing message authorization and billing.
   • Transport protocol – select SMPP.
   • Userpart Е164 translation – select Enabled to use the dialing rules for phone number translation.

     

5. Click Save.
   Note that any service policy changes will not be applied immediately. It will take several minutes until they are propagated to PortaSIP.

The service policy for a vendor connection defines the specific parameters for this connection. For these parameters to apply, the service policy must be associated with the corresponding vendor connection.

1. On the navigation menu, go to Service catalog > Service policies.
2. Click + Policy and fill in the service policy details in the General tab:
   • Service – select Messaging.
   • Name – specify the name of the service policy (e.g., SMS aggregator).

   • Transport protocol – select SMPP.
   • Heartbeat interval – specify the interval (in seconds) in which ENQUIRE_LINK requests are sent to verify a connection. The zero default means no requests will be sent. Specify 30 for the SMS aggregator.

     

5. Click Save.
   In case your customer’s parameters differ, in this case, SmartNet (e.g., Heartbeat interval is 10 seconds), create a new service policy specifically for this customer.
   Note that any service policy changes will not be applied immediately. It will take several minutes until they are propagated to PortaSIP.

This tariff will contain your SMS aggregator’s transmission rates.

1. On the navigation menu, type Tariffs in the Search field.
2. Click + Tariff and fill in the tariff details:
   • Name – a short name for the tariff object; this is the name you will see in the select menus (e.g., Lleida Networks).

     The currency for the tariff may only be chosen once and cannot be changed later.
   • Service – choose Messaging service here.
   • Format – select the format the SMS aggregator operates with. Select E.212 from the list.
   • Applied to – choose Vendor in the Applied to select menu.
   • Routing – use the slider to enable this option since this tariff will be used both to calculate your costs and to route SMS messages.
   • Define rates – select per individual rate code.

     

3. Click Save.

Upload per-destination sending rates provided by your SMS aggregator from a .csv or .xsl file. As messaging services are charged per message, the rating parameters will be as follows:

• MCC/Country – destination mobile country code.
• MNC/Network – destination mobile network code.
• Unit Price – price per message (e.g., $0.01).

You can define route categories in the .csv file and upload the rates with the route categories assigned to them.

Please consult the Rate import handbook for more details.

 Perform the Create tariff and Upload sending rates steps described above until you have created a tariff with termination costs for each transmission partner you have.

SmartNet is your customer and is charged for sending SMS traffic according to the Customer tariff (which will be created later). Since PortaSwitch needs to bind to the SmartNet gateway from which it receives SMS messages, SmartNet should also be configured as a vendor with a connection. Because a vendor connection in PortaSwitch must have a tariff assigned, you need to create a “dummy” empty tariff.

1. On the navigation menu, type Tariffs in the Search field.
2. Click + Tariff and fill in the tariff details:
   • Name – a short name for the tariff object; this is the name you will see in the select menus (e.g., SmartNet).

At the end of the billing period, PortaBilling can produce invoices for your customers. An invoice reflects all the transactions (calls, payments, refunds, subscription charges, etc.) that occurred during a specific period. It serves as the primary record of services provided to a certain customer as well as the primary record of their status. To enable invoice generation you need to create a template for the invoice layout first.

Create an invoice template as described in the Setting up a wholesale traffic exchange handbook.

A customer is a company that sends SMS traffic for you to transmit and pays depending upon the amount of traffic sent. The customer’s contact information is used to distribute account usage information, service usage statistics, invoices, etc.

In this example, we will describe how to manually create a new customer.

1. On the navigation menu, type Customers in the Search field.
2. Click + Customer and fill in the customer details in the General tab:
   • Balance control – specify the way the customer will pay for the service: Postpaid – after consuming the services; Prepaid – prior to consuming the services. Select Postpaid in this field.
   • Name – type a short name for the customer object; this will be used on the web interface.
   • Currency – choose the currency in which this customer will be billed.
   • Credit limit – assign a credit limit for the customer.
   • Business model – select SIP trunking for this customer. A business model defines what type of service is to be provided to the customer.
   • Customer class – select the previously created customer class for wholesale customers. By choosing a specific class here the customer will automatically inherit all of the class properties (grace period, invoice template, etc.).
   • Billing period – choose a billing period for the customer. A billing period defines the frequency of invoicing for this customer.
   • Billing period time zone – choose a time zone in which customer’s billing period will be closed and invoices will be generated.

     

3. Click Save.

Define the customer’s personal information (such as name, email address, etc.).

On your customer’s panel, go to General info > Basic info tab and fill in the customer’s personal information and an email address for the receipt of accounting information. After the billing period is over, a list of xDRs and other statistics will be sent to this address.

In the BCC field, type in the email address of your account representative. They will receive a copy of every outgoing email sent to the customer; this may be used for debug and archiving purposes.

In the Address info section, specify the customer’s address.

Define credentials and preferred settings (such as language, time zone, date input and output formats) for this customer’s self-care interface.

On your customer’s panel, click General info > Web interface tab and define credentials for the customer self-care interface (such as login, password, time zone, etc.) and other preferred settings.

Define whether to suspend the customer when their balance is insufficient to cover subscription charges.

On your customer’s panel, go to Finances > Financial info tab > General info section and set the Suspend on insufficient funds for subscriptions parameter. This defines whether the system must check that the customer has sufficient funds for their subscription charges.

On your customer’s panel, go to Finances > Credit limit tab > Warning thresholds section and define the Warning threshold parameter. The customer can be notified by email when his balance is dangerously close to the credit limit, and service will soon be blocked. The threshold can be specified:

• • As a percentage (e.g., 90%). The warning will be sent when the customer’s balance exceeds that percentage of his credit limit. So, if the credit limit is USD 1000.00 and the threshold is 90%, a warning will be sent as soon as the balance exceeds USD 900.00. This is only applicable when the customer has a positive credit limit.
  • As an absolute value. The warning will be sent as soon as the balance goes above the specified value.
    To specify several credit limit warning thresholds, enter the values by clicking Add.

Define whether to send this customer their statistics and invoices by email.

On your customer’s panel, go to Finances > Financial info tab > Invoicing configuration section and set the Send the generated .csv files via email option to Summary only. This delivers a call summary only and do not attach a details file; this could be useful in the case of a large number of calls. Other options are Full Statistics (attach a complete list of xDRs) or Do not send (this option prevents the delivery of event statistics to this customer via email).

On your customer’s panel, go to Service configuration. This panel provides access to a group of panels where you can activate/deactivate various features of the voice calls service provided to the customer. This is a convenient way for managing parameters which are the same for a whole set of accounts. Instead of trying to configure them for each individual account, you can define them once at the customer level, then specify in the account configuration that the value in the customer’s configuration be used. If you wish to change this value later, you need only modify it once for the change to be automatically propagated to all accounts.

For now, you may leave these with their default values. If you change them later, these changes will automatically affect all accounts created under this customer.

Accounts enable the authorization of a customer’s actual endpoints. In our example, we assume that the authorization is performed by the IP address of the remote gateway/proxy.

1. On your customer’s panel, go to Accounts / DIDs.
2. In the Accounts tab, click + Account and fill in the account information:
   • General tab:
     • Type – select Credit in this field.
     • Account role – select the IPv4 address from the list.
     • ID – the IP address for the customer’s proxy or gateway (must be identical to the IP that is mentioned in the connection).
     • Balance control – choose Subordinate, since a credit limit is controlled at the customer level.
     • Activation – choose the date from which the account is usable. By default, the account is activated immediately upon creation.
     • Expiration date – choose when the account expires.

       

   • Products tab:
     • Product – choose the main product that you would like your account to have.
3. Click Save.

On your account’s panel, click Service configuration. On this panel, you can activate/deactivate various features of the voice calls service provided to this account (e.g., assign a routing plan, etc.).

You may check the routing for an SMS in your system prior to actually sending a message. The system will perform the HLR lookup, and you will see the routing results based on the MCC/MNC codes for the destination number.

1. On the navigation menu, go to Infrastructure > SMS routing simulation.
2. On the Routing simulation panel, enter the destination phone number.
3. Click Test to display a list of applicable routes.

   

   

You can configure the SMPP client/gateway to send messages to your PortaSIP server. To do this, use the PortaSIP’s virtual IP address and port for incoming SMPP connections (which is 2775 by default).

Since authorization is performed by the SMPP client/gateway IP address, you can set any values for the SMPP login and password. Then send a message.
