All communications between Sms4Domino and the end users is done via Interfaces. There should
be at least one active interface in the system.
Sms4Domino supports different interface types (called Interface Family): Notes mail message,
HTTP, folder monitor, ... Interfaces may be outbound - sending SMS messages from Domino to the
rest of the world - or inbound - receiving SMS messages from anywhere in the world. Outbound
interfaces may or may not accept the returned delivery reports.
Interfaces have a priority. Sms4Domino will poll all interfaces in order of priority for Sms messages
to be sent. As such, a high priority interface could block a lower priority interface from sending Sms
messages. When two interfaces have the same priority the behaviour of Sms4Domino is not
deterministic.
An interface is linked to exactly one Sms4Domino instance.
The settings in the Interface documents are read into memory when Sms4Domino starts. If you need
to make changes to any of the settings you will have to quit and start the Sms4Domino application.
