SMS gateways are used to send event notifications via SMS messages. SMS
messages are sent via SMS-to-Email servers, and when defining a new SMS
gateway, we need to know how to SMS messages are encapsulated in the email
message.
When the XIV system sends an SMS message it uses the actual message text that
describes the event and the destination number. The destination number is
comprised from an area code and the local number, both which are specified when
a destination is defined as described in the Defining a New Event Notification
Destination command.
The message's text and the destination numbers can be embedded into the email
message in either the email destination address, email subject line or the email
body. This command defines how email messages are formatted, and how they
contain the information of the specific SMS.
When defining the SMS gateway, three fields must be specified in order to define
the formatting:
v email_address: This is the email address used for sending the SMS via the
Email-to-SMS gateway.
v subject_line: This is the subject line of the outgoing email that would be
converted into an SMS.
v email_body: This is the body of the outgoing email that would be converted into
an SMS.
When specifying each of these fields, the text can be either fixed, contain the
event's text or contain the destination phone number. This is done by embedding
the following escape sequences into the text:
