MMS FAQ
 
 


Q: What type of infrastructure does Openwave offer developers to test MMS?
A: 
  • Openwave Developer Services offer developers the use of two test MMSC servers.
    The MMSC "Edev" is configured for testing MMS using GSM phones.
    The MMSC "Skara" is configured for testing MMS using the Openwave Phone simulator 6.2.2 (using WAP simulator plugin) or the Phone Simulator v7 Preview
    Both MMSCs can be used to send MMS messages over the MM3 and MM7 interface.
  • MMS client in Phone Simulator 6.2.2
  • MMS client in Phone Simulator v7 Preview




Q: What do I need to test MMS using Openwave phone simulator?
A:  You need to download the Openwave phone simulator 6.2.2 and the WAP plug-in or the Openwave Phone Simulator v7 Preview and theOpenwave MMS SDK. Then Simply follow the instructions in the MMS Quick Start Guide:
Phone Simulator 6.2.2
Phone Simulator v7 Preview



Q: How do I get my own MM7 (VASP) account for testing reception of MMS messages via MM7?
A:  Submit your details including your a phone number (in international format), the URL that your MM7 application will be listening on (along with any credential information that might be needed to post in using the feedback form. An Openwave engineer will provision your with an MM7 account on the Openwave Developer MMSC and will send you the account details, including the password that you will need to post messages in. Make sure that you open your firewall for incomming traffic from the MMSc.



Q: What is the process for provisioning a GSM handset on the edev?
A:  Submit your details including your mobile phone number (in international format) using the feedback form. An Openwave engineer will provision your number to the Openwave Developer MMSC "Edev" and will also create an MM7 (VASP) account and will send you your account details.




Q: How do I set up my GSM handset to connect to the Openwave Developer MMSC edev.openwave.com
A:  Once you have received the e-mail from an Openwave engineer specifying your account details, you will then need to set up a profile in your phone for "Edev" containing the details below:

  • Gateway IP Address: 62.17.22.75
  • You should be able to use the existing data connection settings for your operator (GPRS or Dial-up)
  • MMSC mailbox address = http://62.17.22.73:8088/mms/ (this is where your phone collects the MM7 content)





Q: How do I send a sample MMS message to my GSM phone?
A: To send an MMS message over the MM7 interface you can use the sample application from the MMS SDK "MM7MessageSender" In the send.bat file which invokes MM7MessageSender you must change the value of the -ton argument setting it as your provisioned phone number. If you have been setup with a VASP account you should also change the values of the - u and -p arguments and set them as your own VASP username and password account details.




Q: How do I avoid getting the "unsupported operation" error whenever I send an MMS from the Openwave MMS SDK version 3.0 to my GSM phone using through "Edev"?
A:  You need to add the - v argument to your send.bat file and set it to equal the namespace version REL-5-MM7-1-0. For example:

 
MM7MessageSender 
-url http://edev.openwave.com:8080/mm7 
-ton 447712345678 -u 447712345678 
-p testV -f content\test1.txt -v REL-5-MM7-1-0





Q: I have followed the instructions in the MMS Quick start guide to provision an MMS account for my phone number to the MMSC "Skara". However, whenever I try to send a test MMS message using the send.bat file to my SDK 6.2.2 I do not receive anything to my simulator.
A:  You need to ensure that the phone number is longer than 10 digits. You need to make sure that your SDK is set up correctly to communicate with the gateway associated with the MMSC (oden.openwave.com) and the MMSC itself (Skara). You need to make sure that the SDK 6.2.2 is not behind a firewall, if it is then ensure that the following ports 9201, 9203, 9001 and 9002 are open for UDP traffic.




Q: I cannot display MMS content sent through Skara using the MMS SDK version 3.0 or MMS SDK 2.1 on my SDK 6.2.2 phone simulator.
A:  Make sure the UA Profs URL is added to the SDK 6.2.2 UA Profs section.

  • Launch the SDK 6.2.2
  • Go to "Tools" -> "Options" -> "Device"
  • Ensure that the following URL: http://developer.openwave.com/uaprof/OPWVSDK62.xml is specified as the UA Prof URL.





Q: My website and MMS messages use UTF8, can I view my content in the simulator?
A:  Yes, simply set the character set to UTF8 in as descirbed above.




Q: Does Phone Simulator support end-to-end MMS testing?
A:  Yes. Please see the MMS Quick Start for PhoneSimulator v7 Preview for the details on how to connect.




Q: What is MMS-SMIL?
A:  MMS-SMIL is a subset of SMIL as defined by the MMS Conformance Document 2.0 available from the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) website.
