Ozeki Performance Tester
This article presents how you can test
performance of Ozeki NG SMS Gateway. Below on this page you can download
the Ozeki Performance Tester tool that allows you to get information on
the performance of the SMS gateway. Therefore you will know the exact time that
is needed to process messages. Screenshots demonstrate this solution.
First you need to log into Ozeki NG SMS Gateway with your
username and password. Then add a new HTTP service provider connection. To do so,
click on Add service provider in Service providers section (Figure 1).

Figure 1 - Add new service provider
Select HTTP Server Connection in the list and click on
Install next to it (Figure 2).

Figure 2 - Install HTTP server
Leave the Configuration tab of the created connection
unchanged and click on OK (Figure 3).

Figure 3 - HTTP Server settings
Now add a new outgoing route by clicking on Add new route in
the Outgoing section (Figure 4).

Figure 4 - Add new route
Now specify the source and destination of the outgoing messages.
Set admin as Source and set the created HTTP server as
Destination. In this way you can ensure that messages will not be sent
out from Ozeki NG SMS Gateway but you can test performance (Figure 5).

In the downloaded
Ozeki_performance_tester_v2.exe
tool you can specify the following
values:
Action: it can be Send or Receive according to which action
you want to take
Host: the IP address of the computer on which Ozeki NG SMS Gateway has been
installed
Port: the port number of HTTP server
Method: GET or POST
Username: your username used to log into Ozeki NG SMS Gateway
Password: your password used in Ozeki NG SMS Gateway
Messages: here you can define the number of messages to be sent
Message: you can specify the message content in this field
If you provided these values, click on Send.
In our example I send 1000 test messages with GET method (Figure 6).
Please note that messages can also be sent with POST method, as well.

A window appears that notifies you about the number of sent
messages. Click on OK (Figure 7).

Incoming messages
Now you need to look for the hostname and the port on which
the HTTP server listens (Figure 10).

Figure 10 - Hostname and port number
To receive SMS messages set Action field to Receive,
type the Host and Port on which the HTTP server listens, and select
the Method (in this example I select POST method but you can select
GET and POST methods, as well). Fill the remaining fields and click
on Send. In this example I send 1000 SMS messages (Figure 11).

In the Inbox folder in Ozeki NG SMS Gateway you can see
that all 1000 incoming messages has been received successfully (Figure 12).
