SMSC Settings

Configure SMS settings to enable sending text messages. Select a method of sending SMS messages. The Modem option requires you to configure connection parameters for the modem to connect to the SMSC server. The SMS Sender option requires you to obtain and register the serial number and password. The Other SMS Sender option is a third-party SMS sender. The access method includes custom access and general configuration access. General configuration access is only applicable to third-party SMS senders. The interfaces provided are Web service interfaces that use HTTP. System sends simple HTTP requests based on interface requirements to complete docking. Custom access requires the following API development process:To obtain related documents from the Intelbras website at http://www.intelbras.com/en/. When you select Convert Mail into SMS, you must configure the receiver mail address suffix. The mail address suffix is provided by the mail service provider that provides the function of converting mails into SMS messages. The mail service provider can convert the mails destined for receiver cellphone number@mail address suffix into SMS messages and send the SMS messages to the cellphone number.To use Twilio, first sign up at https://www.twilio.com/try-twilio for a Twilio account and purchase an SMS-enabled number. Then, access https://www.twilio.com/console to log in to view the account SID and authentication token.

You can customize the SMS contents through the SMS content format configuration. Default is: Alarm $(FaultName) at $(FaultTime) from $(FaultSour).Some operators do not support Ascii code for telecommunications GSM protocol encoding English 7bit extension code, resulting ^ ^ ~ [] {} | and other symbols do not show up.

Parameters

• Sending Method: Select a method of sending SMS messages.
• Connect Using: The virtual port that connects the modem to the SMSC server.

Precautions

• After you select a sending method, you must first click OK to switch the sending method, and then configure the parameters for the sending method.
• If you use a modem, only four messages are sent per minute and users might fail to receive the SMS messages. To batch send SMS messages, use an SMS Sender instead of modem.
• If SMS Sender is selected for Sending Method and the serial number registration returns error code -1100, modify the config.properties file in the \client\repository\imc\jars\emay.jar directory of the system installation path, and then restart the system. If there is a \client\repository\imc\jars\emay.jar directory of the system installation path, you need to modify the contents of this jar package at the same time. The following list the serial number formats and the respective contents of the config.properties file:
  
  • 3SDK-EMY-0130-XXXXX
    url=http://sdk4http.eucp.b2m.cn:8080/sdk/SDKService?wsdl
  • 9SDK-EMY-0999-XXXXX
    url=http://sdk999ws.eucp.b2m.cn:8080/sdk/SDKService?wsdl
  • 6SDK-EMY-6688-XXXXX
    url=http://sdk4report.eucp.b2m.cn:8080/sdk/SDKService?wsdl
  • 9SDK-EMY-0229-XXXXX
    url=http://sdk229ws.eucp.b2m.cn:8080/sdk/SDKService?wsdl
  If the problem persists, please contact the serial number provider.
• When Sending Method is specified as SMS Sender, you can edit the commonCfg.properties file to specify the signature for SMS messages as follows:
  a. Open the commonCfg.properties file in the \client\conf\ directory of system installation path.
  b. Specify the value for EmaySMSAssinatura, save the file, and then log in again for the configuration to take effect.
• To use a proxy when the sending method is SMS Sender, you must restart the jserver process after completing the proxy settings.
• When you select the Convert Mail into SMS option, make sure the mail server information is correctly configured on the Mail Server Settings page.The username part of the mail recipient can contain only numbers. For example, 8618800000000@XX.com is correct and 86-18800000000@XX.com is incorrect.
• To use the Twilio sending method, make sure the From Number and To Number are compliant with E.164 format [+][country code][phone number including area code]. For example, +14155552671. The country code is 1, and the subscriber number with the national destination code is 4155552671.
