Note: Do not use the password with gateway messages. The password is only for use with
SMS commands.
To create an gateway message:
1. Begin with the start field.
2. Follow with the destination phone number. This number must be in the same
format as the phone numbers in the Trusted Phone Number List.
3. Add the field delimiter.
4. Add the data type for the message (ASCII, 8-bit, or Unicode).
5. Add another field delimiter.
6. Add the number of ASCII characters in your message.
7. Add another field delimiter.
8. Add the message to be sent in ASCII hex format. ASCII is case sensitive.
9. Finish with the end field.
Example: You want to send the following message: “Test message” to phone
number [phone]. To use this feature, convert the message to
hex:54657374206d657373616765. Then format the message as follows:
<<<15106244200,ASCII,12,54657374206d657373616765>>>
where:
· “<<<” is the start delimiter
· “15106244200” is the phone number
· “,” is the delimiter between fields
· “ASCII” is the message type
· “12” is the number of characters in the message
· “54657374206d657373616765” is the message itself
· “>>>” is the end delimiter
10. Send the message.
After your message is sent, you receive an ACK message in the format ACK
Field acknowledgment Code ACK Field. For example, if your message was
successfully queued to be sent, you receive the message: ACK0ACK.
If you receive an error message, see SMS on page 383 for details.
Control and Gateway
In Control and Gateway mode you can send an SMS non-command (gateway)
message to a device, provided you are sending the message from a trusted
number. (See Trusted Phone Number on page 171.)
SMS messages received by the device (inbound) are sent on to the configured
host. Messages sent by the host to a configured port on the device are sent out
as an SMS by the device (outbound). Essentially, the device forwards SMS
messages between the cellular radio and the connected host.
You can also send SMS commands in Control and Gateway mode. If you are
sending the SMS message from a trusted number, the password is not required.
If you are sending it from a non-trusted number, you must use the password.
