Now add a new outgoing route by clicking on Add new route in the Outgoing section (Figure 4).

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).
