Inbound messaging

The eSMS module also handles inbound SMS messages. These

messages are received on the GSM box, and transferred to the eSMS

module to be processed in DECT Messenger by eKERNEL.

For this purpose, additional tables eSMS_INBOUND and eSMS_INBOUN

D result are added to the Messenger_CFG database.

The eSMS module communicates with the SMS_service through a

separate TCP connection. The eSMS module acts as the TCP Server and

the SMS_service module acts as the TCP Client. The eSMS is listening to

a port, for example 29080, for inbound messages requests from mobile

phones.

In the current release of eSMS, the inbound functionality can confirm

alarms, either based upon the calling line identifier, or mobile phone

extension number, or based upon a pincode, provided in the SMS

message.

The following figure illustrates the reception of an inbound SMS message.

The message confirms all alarms for the devices that have pincode 238.
