SMS Utilities

This section provides a summary of the classes and the functionality provided by the SMSU. The SMS Utility (SMSU) is a DLL. The SMSU provides utility functionality for SMS messages.

Buffer and streams

The SMSU creates the buffers, read streams and write streams required for the SMS stack. The SMSU creates a temporary buffer of 256 bytes to store the Protocol Data Units (PDU)s in the SMS stack. The PDUs are processed by the SMS stack in the temporary buffers.

SMS address

The TSmsAddr of the SMSU provides methods to store the SMS address values. The SMS addresses are stored in a TSmsAddrFamily type. The TSmsAddr also enables the SMS stack to bind the packets to the socket server using the parameters defined in TSmsAddr. TSmsAddr::SetSmsAddrFamily() can be used to define the socket and port to bind the packets. The enumeration table for SMS socket address family:
