This article outlines and describes the settings that are necessary to configure Adobe Campaign Classic.
General Settings
Label |
Friendly name of the channel. |
Channel |
Should be set to "Mobile (SMS)" |
Use the default options for all the other settings.
Mobile channel - Connection settings
SMSC Implementation name |
Specify a meaningful name for this connection. |
Server |
The FQDN or IP of the Sinch SMSC you wish to connect to. Your CAD will include this information. |
Port |
3600 for unencrypted SMPP 3601 for SMPP via TLS (Requires that "Enable TLS over SMPP" is enabled under "SMSC specificities") |
Account |
Known as the system_ID in the SMPP protocol. Equivalent to the username. Your CAD will include this information. |
Password |
Refer to your CAD. |
System type |
Leave this field empty. |
Number of MTA child connections |
Your CAD will mention how many connections your system_ID can use - this setting should be half of that. This is due to Campaign Classic being limited to using the TX/RX bind-method as compared to TRX. |
Mobile channel - SMPP channel settings
Authorize character transliteration |
This setting can be ticked to allow Campaign to re-encode characters, for example "ê" to "e". More information is available in Adobes documentation |
Source number |
The "from" number or alpha of your messages. Also known as the originator. This can be a company name, a long number or short code. We recommend keeping all alphas shorter than 11 characters. |
Source TON/NPI |
This value depends on the type of Source number set in the above section. Refer to the Source address settings table showing common combinations in our Sinch Developer Documentation. |
Destination TON/NPI |
Always configured as 1/1, as Sinch only support messages to International MSISDNs. |
Service type |
Leave this field empty. |
Mobile channel- Throughput and delays
Sending window |
The SMPP window size dictates how many unresponded PDUs are allowed. Best practice is to use the value in the CAD. |
Max MT throughput |
Must be configured with the value set in your CAD. If this is left at 0 you will see rejected messages which will in turn result in delayed messages. |
Time before reconnection |
No change needed – use the default setting. |
Expiration period of the MT |
No change needed – use the default setting. |
Bind timeout |
Set to 60 seconds. |
enquire_link period |
No change needed – use the default setting. |
