there is a way for sending SMS through iMS5.2 but i do not know how?Is there any need for SMPP server or any gateway for sending SMS.I know about the rewrite rule to be include in imta.cnf file but I want to know the steps for configuring the iMS5.2 for sending SMS.is there any SMPP server(SMSC) that needs to be separately installed
IMS 5.2 supports one way SMS, however, you must have access to the SMSC's SMPP server. The server must support SMPP V3.4 over TCP/IP and there must be TCP/IP connectivity between the host running iMS and the SMPP server.
You also have to configure a SMS channel in iMS, then it is merely a matter of sending a mail message to the address associated with that channel.
The documentation for how to do that can be found at http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/messaging/technotes/5.2sms.html which is reached from the "related links" at the bottom of the messaging documentation web site http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/messaging.html#related, and then select "Technical Notes and Examples". Note SMS is supported, the doc just didn't make it into the regular set.
