Sending SMS messages
eSMTP
Many Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) Service providers have an SMTP
gateway into their SMS Centre, either directly, or through a third-party company.
Consult with your local GSM provider to see if this facility is available. They can provide you
with an e-mail address and format.
For example: A DECT Messenger user wishes to use a GSM handset as an alternative device
to the DECT handset. The following steps are required:
Using a GSM handset as an alternative to the DECT handset
1. Create a new device called [e-mail] with output
program eSMTP.
(The GSM Service provider must have this GSM mobile number configured in their
database, or extract the number from the format:
[e-mail].)
2. Add this eSMTP device as an alternative device in the DECT handset device
properties.
3. Set the number of retries for the DECT device = 2.
If DECT Messenger sends an urgent message to the DECT handset and the DECT
handset does not respond after two attempts, the message is sent as an SMS to
the GSM handset.
eASYNC
The eASYNC module is capable of sending short message service (SMS) messages to any
GSM mobile phone, worldwide, from your DECT Messenger computer.
Figure 46: Setup for
sending SMS Messages (or Wide Area Paging messages) on page 140 shows the
configuration.
