Special precautions for implementing Lotus Traveler® SMS push: Sms4Domino may be
used for implementing IBM® Lotus Notes® Traveler Auto Sync via Sms (Short Message
Service) push. This setting may greatly increase a device's battery life. By default, Lotus
Notes Traveler® maintains a TCP connection between a device and server that allows
both to stay in sync with each other. Depending on several factors (such as network
provider, NAT timeouts, and device characteristics) maintaining this TCP connection can
burden the device's battery, whereas using Sms mode for Auto Sync may decrease the
burden on the device's battery and increase the amount of time between battery
recharges.
Lotus Notes Traveler® sends mail messages each time a Sms must be forwarded to the
smartphone. During testing we discovered that the mail does not contain a Form or
PostedDate item. Some special whitelist formulas have been provided to accept the
badly formed mail messages generated by Traveler®.
Extract Sms messages from: Sms messages are text only. The contents will be

extracted from either the subject, the unformatted body of the mail or the subject followed
by the unformatted body of the mail. It is also possible to specify a @formula. The
formula is executed in the context of the received mail. Some default formulas may be
inserted by clicking an action.
Truncate to: The resulting message is truncated to the specified size. If <= 0 then no

truncation occurs. It is strongly recommende to specify some safety value. Large
messages may result in a multi-message Sms.
Outbound Sms retention time: when a delivery report (failure or confirmation) is received

from the SMSC, it must be matched with an outbound Sms. Outbound Sms messages
are deleted automatically. Delivery reports received after this deletion will not be
delivered to the end user. The retention time parameters are expressed as positive
integer multiples of the polling interval.
Test every n polling intervals: the test for outbound messages that must be deleted is
o
performed every n polling intervals. A value too high could result in too many old
messages in sms.box. A value too low could overload the server.
No delivery report requested: even when no delivery reports is requested it could
o
happen that a negative delivery report is received. Negative value implies no
