• An existing SMPP ESME trunk is required. If you do not have one, see Create an SMPP ESME trunk.

Edit an SMPP ESME trunk

2. Locate the trunk you want to edit and click the Actions button next to it.

3. Select Edit.

Move a trunk to another Server location

To move the trunk to another DIDWW SMPP server location, change its Server location.

Important

Before you save a new Server location, make sure your firewall allows your application to open connections to the IP address of the new location. See Server locations and IP addresses.

1. In the DIDWW User Panel, go to SMS > SMS Trunks.

2. Locate the trunk, click the Actions button next to it, and select Edit.

3. Select a different Server location.

4. Click Submit.

The trunk’s credentials then show the host for the new location. Update your application to bind to that host. See View SMPP ESME trunk credentials.

Delete SMPP ESME trunks

Delete one SMPP ESME trunk from its Actions menu, or delete multiple trunks using Batch Actions.

Warning

Deleting a trunk is permanent and cannot be undone. A trunk that is assigned to any DID number cannot be deleted until it is unassigned. See Assign an SMS trunk.

Delete one trunk

1. In the DIDWW User Panel, go to SMS > SMS Trunks.

2. Locate the trunk you want to remove and click the Actions button next to it.
