SMS and MMS Toolkit - PagerProtocolSnpp object

Overview

Simple Network Paging Protocol (SNPP) is a standard for sending one- and two-way wireless messages to pagers. In its simplest form, SNPP provides a simple way to make a link between the Internet and a Telocator Alphanumeric input Protocol (TAP) paging terminal.

There are many SNPP providers around the world; for a list of providers. check the following web page: www.activexperts.com/xmstoolkit/snpplist.

The PagerProtocolSnpp object is part of the ActiveXperts SMS and MMS Toolkit component. Overview of all SMS and MMS Toolkit objects:

  • SmsProtocolGsm - Send and receive SMS messages using a GSM modem or a modem-capable GSM phone.
  • SmsProtocolSmpp - Send and receive SMS messages via an SMPP provider.
  • SmsProtocolHttp - Send (bulk) SMS messages through an SMS/HTTP compliant SMS provider over the internet/VPN.
  • SmsProtocolDialup - Send SMS messages using a normal Hayes compatible modem (1200 bps or higher).
  • MmsProtocolMM1 - Send and receive MMS messages via a GPRS modem through WAP (wireless application protocol).
  • MmsProtocolMM4 - Send MMS messages via an SMTP server. The protocol is based on SMTP, messages are MIME encoded.
  • MmsProtocolMM7 - Send and receive MMS messages via SOAP/XML using HTTP as the transport protocol.
  • PagerProtocolSnpp - Send pager messages via an SNPP provider through the internet/VPN.

Sample code

VBScript sample: Send a Pager message via SNPP

Set objPagerProtocol = CreateObject("ActiveXperts.PagerProtocolSnpp") ' Create PagerProtocolSnpp instance
Set objPagerMessage  = CreateObject("ActiveXperts.PagerMessage")  ' Create PagerMessage instance

objPagerMessage.Recipient      = 5551234                          ' Set recipient number
objPagerMessage.Data           = "Hello World !!!"                ' Set pager message

objPagerProtocol.Server        = "snpp.pageallcom.com"            ' Provider's IP or hostname
objPagerProtocol.ServerPort    = 444
objPagerProtocol.ServerTimeout =  2500                            ' Set timeout to 2500 msecs

objPagerProtocol.Send( objPagerMessage )                          ' Send the pager message

WScript.Echo "Send, result; " & objPagerProtocol.LastError
WScript.Echo "Last response from SNPP provider: " & objPagerProtocol.ProviderResponse

VB .NET sample: Send a Pager message via SNPP

Imports AXmsCtrl

Module Module1
 Sub Main()

   Dim objSnppProtocol As PagerProtocolSnpp = New PagerProtocolSnpp() ' Create instance of COM Object
   Dim objPagerMessage As PagerMessage = New PagerMessage()
   
 objPagerMessage.Recipient      = 5551234                      ' Set recipient number
   objPagerMessage.Data           = "Hello World !!!"            ' Set pager message

   objPagerProtocol.Server        = "snpp.pageallcom.com"        ' Provider's IP or hostname
   objPagerProtocol.ServerPort    = 444
   objPagerProtocol.ServerTimeout =  2500                        ' Set timeout to 2500 msecs

   objPagerProtocol.Send( objPagerMessage )                      ' Send the pager message

   Console.WriteLine("Send, result: {0} ( {1} )", 
            objSnppProtocol.LastError.ToString, 
            objSnppProtocol.GetErrorDescription(objSnppProtocol.LastError) )
   Console.WriteLine( "Last response from SNPP provider: " & objPagerProtocol.ProviderResponse )
 End Sub
End Module
