Normally, SMPP connections are established by Mobile Momentum whenever traffic is destined for an SMPP domain. The connection is kept open until the SMPP inactivity timer expires. While this may be fine for most MT-based applications, it does not guarantee an SMPP connection when an SMSC has SMS messages to send. As a solution, persistent SMPP connections can be specified in the configuration when a permanent SMPP connection is needed.

Use an SMPP_Persistent_Connections configuration statement within an SMPP domain to associate a special binding specifying the configuration of the persistent connection(s):

Domain "somewhere.com" {
  SMPP_SMSC_Server = "10.0.0.1"
  ...
  Max_Outbound_Connections = 1
  SMPP_Bind_Type = "Transmitter"
  SMPP_Persistent_Connections = [ Persist_This = 1 ]
  ...
}

Binding "Persist_This"  {
  Max_Outbound_Connections = 1
  SMPP_Bind_Type = "Receiver"
}

In this example, the SMPP domain somewhere.com will establish a bind transmitter SMPP connection as needed for outgoing MT traffic and will maintain a single bind receiver SMPP connection for MO traffic.
