Support for operator logos in Ozeki Message Server 6
When a ringtone is sent as an SMS message it is represented as a bitstream. This bitstream can be pictured as a set of hexadecimal numbers. For example:
024A3A51D195CDD004001B20550590610560558550548540820849900000
The bit string contains the following sections:
00000010 | <command-length> Number of command parts present |
01001010 | <ringing-tone-programming> Command part 1 (with filler bit) |

Sending a ringtone in SMS
To send a ringtone message with Ozeki Message Server 6, you need to specify a message type, that tells the software that the message body contains a ringtone. To send the above example, you would use the following message type: SMS:RINGTONE In this case, the message type is made up of two sections. The first section tells the message server that this is an SMS message. This way only the drivers supporting SMS will be considered to deliver the message. The second section is used by the driver to use the ringtone encoder. This encoder will create the protocol data unit (PDU) that will be sent as an SMS messages.
Example:
If you use the database plugin, to send and receive SMS messages in Ozeki Message Server 6, you can use the following SQL statement to send a ringtone message: insert into ozekimessageout (receiver,msgtype,msg,status) values ('+36205222245', 'SMS:RINGTONE','024A3A51D195CDD004001B20550590610560558550548540820849900000','send');
