must be set up as described in Remote access with SMS on page 62.
Send an SMS to the mobile number of the terminal. The text in the activation SMS must have
the following format for activating and deactivating a connection:
• ACTIVATE <name of network user group >:<name of profile> <password>
• DEACTIVATE <name of network user group>:<name of profile> <password>
• <name of network user group>: default group
•<name of profile> standard (presently, only standard is supported)
• <password> Defined in the web interface under Advanced > Remote management.
Example: To activate a connection for remote management with the standard data
connection and password=1234567890, send an SMS to the terminal with the
text: ACTIVATE default:standard 1234567890
If you have selected SMS confirmation, you receive a response including the IP address to use
when you access the terminal from a remote location (see the next two sections).
