SMS forwarding configuration
Incoming text messages can be redirected to another mobile device and/or a TCP/UDP message server.
Redirect to mobile
You can forward incoming text messages to a different destination number. This destination number can be another mobile phone
or a 3G router phone number.
For Example:
If someone sends a text message and
Redirect to mobile is set to “0412345678”, this text message is stored on the router
and forwarded to “0412345678” at the same time.
To disable redirection to a mobile, clear the
Redirect to mobile field and click the Save button.
Redirect to TCP / UDP address
You can also forward incoming text messages to a TCP/UDP based destination. The TCP or UDP server can be any kind of public
or private server if the server accepts incoming text-based message.
The TCP/UDP address can be an IP address or domain name. The port number range is from 1 to 65535. Please refer to your
TCP/UDP based SMS server configuration for which port to use.
For Example:
If someone sends a text message and TCP address is set to “192.168.20.3” and TCP port is set to “2002”, this text
message is stored in the router and forwarded to “192.168.20.3” on port “2002” at the same time.
To disable redirection to a TCP or UDP address, clear the
TCP address and UDP address fields and click the Save button.
