Address range property issue

[DadaDude]

How can I specify a range of addresses in the Address Range property of my SMPP Channel?

Please help!

The 'Address Range' parameter is used in the bind_receiver and bind_transceiver command to specify a set of SME addresses serviced by the ESME client. A single SME address may also be specified in the address_range parameter. UNIX Regular Expression notation should be used to specify a range of addresses.

Messages addressed to any destination in this range shall be routed to the ESME.

Note 1: For IP addresses, it is only possible to specify a single IP address. A range of IP addresses are not allowed. IP version 6.0 is not currently supported in this version of the protocol.

Note 2: It is likely that the addr_range field is not supported or deliberately ignored on most Message Centres. The reason for this is that most carriers will not allow an ESME control the message routing as this can carry the risk of mis-routing messages. In such circumstances, the ESME will be requested to set the field to NULL.
