SMPP Configuration

When it comes to adding a new SMPP Account, I've usually referred to follow a simple yet easy procedure that enabled me to create multiple Configuration. In this page, we're going to:


Create an API Key for the SMPP Account

To request a new API Key to create the SMPP Account, you must first login to Vonage's Platform under the "API Setting" page, and click on the “Request more API Keys” and compile a form where you state that you're requesting this key for a new SMPP Account.
They will create a new API Key for you and will give you a configuration procedure, which will also be mentioned in this tutorial as the procedure was (and prolly will still be) the same.

Configure the SMPP Account Vonage

To configure the SMPP Account, you must first navigate again to the “API Setting” as mentioned on the link of the previous step. Continue with giving a name to the API Key and creating an API Secret that will be used after in the configuration on the Platform.

Configure the SMPP Account on the BeCloud's Platform

Login on the Sysmgmt page of the platform you're going to create a SMPP account. Then, navigate to “Phone Systems > SMS/MMS Accounts” and add a new entry. On the Account Type, select SMPP, then the configuration proceeds as follows:

Once done that, proceed to go to “Phone Systems > Access Numbers” and create a new one following this pattern:

Then, once done this configuration, proceed to login on the tenant and create a Chat service to test the Outbound.

Configure an Alias

To configure an Alias as a “sender” proceed to go back to Sysmgmt and “Phone Systems > SMS/MMS Accounts”, select the account you've previously created and navigate to the “Advanced” tab. On the Options entry, proceed to add the following content:

{
"outbound_replace_from": "390221071005",
"outbound_replace_from_with": "EXAMPLE"
}

Where the number on the “outbound_replace_from” is the number used in the “Phone Systems > Access Numbers”, it has to be the same. While on the “outbound_replace_from_with” field, change “EXAMPLE” with the desired Alias.
