Hybrid Configuration

From smsPULSE V8.5 you can run the server with a Hybrid Configuration, called smsPULSE Hybrid. To enable a Hybrid configuration a special licence must be provided for this purpose. In a Hybrid configuration an additional gateway account is added to the current main account. Messages are sent as before but you can force some message to be sent via the secondary account, and not the primary one. The following configurations are available:

Hybrid configurations

SMPP (including multi session)smsPULSE USA
SMPP (including multi session)smsPULSE International
smsPULSE SMPP (unlimited MPS)smsPULSE USA
smsPULSE SMPP (unlimited MPS)smsPULSE International

In each of the above cases, a GSM array may be added to provide local coverage plus support for MMS over the MM1 protocol. You need to have a smsPULSE MM license or smsPULSE Enterprise in order to use smsPULSE Hybrid.

Please note that when you use a USA account a phone number is attached to the account and inbound SMS may be configured via this number.

Why use Hybrid
  • You are using SMPP with a local phone company but wish to use our international gateway for other countries
  • You are using smsPULSE USA account and wish to use smsPULSE International account for messages outside the USA
  • You are using the smsPULSE International account and need USA cover without the need to install a modem for USA support

Configuring smsPULSE for Hybrid
The following describe the steps required for configuring a Hybrid installation:
  1. Obtain a Hybrid license file. Place the file in the server data directory
  2. Open the smsPULSE System Profile and tell the system you wish to use the Hybrid configuration
  3. Add phone number prefixes you wish the server to select for when sending over the Secondary account
  4. Save the system profile and restart smsPULSE. When smsPULSE starts it will show that it runs in Hybrid mode and will show the Secondary account balance (the secondary account is called the Hybrid account)

Configure the System Profile
