SMS
Use the SMS (Short Messaging Service) icon to view or change the SMS settings used by your
appliance.
For more information, see “Creating a send short message e-mail alert action” on page 110.
Note: This icon is available only if a modem that supports SMS messaging is installed in and
configured for use with your appliance.
The SMS Configuration window consists of Basic, Advanced, and Status tabs. The Status tab displays
the level and quality of the SMS signal. The following controls and data appear in the Basic tab:
Field Description
SIM PIN / Confirm SIM PIN For modems that use a SIM (subscriber identification module), specify
the PIN to unlock the SIM.
Note: For modems that do not have a PIN, this field is blank. For infor-
mation about your SIM PIN please contact your GSM/GPRS service
provider.
Service center (SMSC) The address of the Short Message Service Center (SMSC) used by your
SMS service. The SMSC is an SMS server that sends messages. The
address for the SMSC is programmed into the SIM so you can leave
this field blank. Entering a value in this field overrides automatic
SMSC selection.
Note: For information about your SMSC please contact your GSM/
GPRS service provider.
Destination The e-mail destination address for an SMS. The default value for this
field is 0000000000, which works with AT&T Wireless. When an SMS
message is sent to an e-mail destination address, the appliance puts the
e-mail address at the beginning of the message and sends it to the
Destination address. The SMSC receives the message, pulls out the
e-mail address, and sends the remainder of the message to the e-mail
address.
Note: For information about your SMS Destination please contact your
GSM/GPRS service provider.
Interrupt PPP when an SMS alert
occurs
Enable this setting to allow SMS communication to override PPP
communications, if your modem supports both SMS and PPP
communications. Once the SMS message is sent, the PPP connection is
reestablished.
Note: PPP connections that have been initiated using the Request
Immediate Dial-up function are not interrupted, even if this checkbox is
checked.
