Sending an SMS Message

You can configure SMS messages to be sent when an event occurs and can customize the message.

Only the 7-bit ASCII charset is supported for SMS messages. Messages consist of a combination of free text and HPDU placeholders. The placeholders represent information that is pulled from the HPDU and inserted into the message.

A supported modem, such as the Cinterion GSM MC52i modem, must be plugged into the HPDU to send SMS messages.

1. Select Device Settings → Event Rules → + New Action.
2. Select Send SMS message in the Action list.
3. In the Recipient Phone Number field, specify the phone number of the recipient.
4. Create a custom message:
   1. Select Use Custom Log Message.
   2. Type a custom message up to 1024 characters.

      For example:

      • [USERNAME] logged into the device on [TIMESTAMP]

        translates to

      • Mary logged into the device on 2012-January-30 21:00

   3. Click anywhere inside the text box.

      The Event Context Information displays, showing a list of placeholders and their definitions.

   4. Scroll down and select a placeholder.
   5. To start a new line in the text box, press Enter.

      Note -  To type square brackets [ ] in the custom message for non-placeholder words, add a backslash in front of the square bracket, \[ or \], such as \[and]. Otherwise, the message sent does display the square brackets.
