This section is applicable to the lab application and to a test application with the required feature license.
The HTTP Interface in the test set allows you to configure SMS message parameters and content, send and receive SMS messages using HTTP protocol. This interface is useful for SMS verification because HTTP protocol is used by most commercially available SMS Gateways. The HTTP interface also allows SMS Gateways to be configured as if the test set is a Short Message Service Center (SMSC), eliminating the need for custom external software to route messages to the correct test set. This emulation of an SMSC makes it possible to route messages directly from the HTTP output interface of one test set to the HTTP input interface of another test set. Additionally, the HTTP interface also facilitates MMS message transfer to and from a mobile station if used in conjunction with compatible MMSC (Multimedia Message Service Center) software.
