RE: FW: UCP protocol

Hi, 

Thanks for your contribution, it helps a lot.
I still have two issues about this protocol:

1- You wrote" it simply waits for your session to connect " (in the second mode) , should I just connect or also open a session (using 60- message) each time I connect?

2- Is the UCP/EMI protocol only provided by CMG SMSC or is there other SMSC using this protocol?

Thanks.

	Sarah Tronet.

When an incoming MO arrives, the SMSC is opening a reverse session on the incoming port and delivers the incoming SMS in a separate stream. Easy to implement but load sharing and redundancy is a problem here as there is only one destination the SMSC can send to.

If you use this session for incoming MO's or for MO's and MT's is only a question if you send on this link or not. Our connection to swisscom for example requires incoming SMS on one session and outgoing on another.
