Enable SMS Relay
If your network includes more than one ENVIROMUX (E-16D, E-5D and/or E-2D), only one GSM modem is required for all the
ENVIROMUX units to send SMS messages. That GSM modem can be connected to any of the ENVIROMUX units. Using the
SMS Relay feature, all ENVIROMUX units can send SMS messages through the single GSM modem.
To use the SMS Relay feature;
- If the GSM modem is connected to the ENVIROMUX you are configuring
, place a checkmark in “Enable Server” block.
- If the GSM modem is connected to another ENVIROMUX unit
, leave “Enable Server” unchecked and instead place a
checkmark in “Use remote unit to send SMS” and enter the IP address of the ENVIROMUX unit that has the GSM
modem connected to it in the block “Remote unit IP Address”.
Be sure to click “Save” to save the configuration.

ports 6001 and 6002 in the firewall configuration to enable SMS communication between the ENVIROMUXs
These are used if the GSM modem for
SMS alert messages is connected to
another ENVIROMUX on the network.
If your network has only one ENVIROMUX connected to it, the SMS Relay feature will have no effect
