3.4 Power Up/Reset Text Message
The system can send an message to all the text numbers when a system reset or
power up has occurred. This can be due to network failure or power cycling (power
off followed by power on). Note the system repeatedly resets during network out-
age. You will only receive 1-message after a network outage.
RSMS Enable enables the reset text message
RSMS Disable disables the reset text message
PSMS Enable enables the power up text message
PSMS Disable disables the power up text message
3.5 SIM Card Balance Checking and Service Data Forwarding
The system is able to forward SMS messages and service sata which networks use to
display remaining air-time minutes or credit. The forward function can also send
network data used to register a SIM with the network website. All forwarded data is
sent to the phone which set the service up. The forwarding service can be perma-
nently enabled to forward all unsolicited messages from unrecognised numbers (i.e.
not user or master numbers) to the forwarding phone number. However, to stop
excessive ‘spamming’ and wasting credit, the service can be enabled in temporary
mode limiting to forwarding messages for only 3 minutes after a master user has sent
a valid message (typically the SMS or DIAL command). Additionally only one mes-
sage will be forwarded every minute to ensure excessive numbers of messages are
not sent.
Forward Enable Forwarding service permanently enabled
Forward Temp Forwarding for up to 3 mins after a valid messaged received
Forward Disable No SMS/Service Data Message forwarding
Networks require either a SMS text message to be sent to retrieve a balance or a
network code to be dialled. Please check with your network to find your balance
checking method.
3.6 Forwarding SMS Messages to any Number
Typically the SMS command is used to forward a SMS text to the network to request a
balance. However the SMS function will forward the text to any number specified.
SMS <number>,<text>.
Typical example (Orange, T-Mobile Balance Request)
SMS 150,Balance sends ‘Balance’ to 150
This will text ‘Balance’ to number 150. Please note you need to ensure the forward
service is set up as above to receive a reply from the system
For network which require a code to be dialled use the DIAL for example Vectone
UK:
DIAL *102# dials ‘*102#’ for a balance request (see section 4.10 Dial Now)
