SMS
Enable
Tick this checkbox to enable the SMS feature on the system.
Note: The SMS operates using a standard protocol that is used in SMS telephones. Note that some
PSTN operators do not provide the service of SMS over PSTN. For SMS to operate over PSTN the
following criteria is required:
Caller ID needs to be enabled on the telephone line.
Direct telephone line – not through PABX or other comms equipment.
Also note that most Service Providers only allow SMS to a telephone registered in the same country
(this is due to billing issues).
Note: SMS over PSTN is no longer supported. The functionality remains in the product for backward
compatibility.

Click the Test SMS button to send a short text message for the purposes of testing the system.
The SMS test is provided only for the purpose of ensuring the SMS feature is operating correctly. A
short text message using alphabetic characters (A-Z) should be used to test this feature.
When using the SMS message feature over a PSTN line, it is necessary to program the phone number
of the SMS service provider that services the area in which the SPC is installed. The SPC system
automatically dials this number to contact the SMS server whenever the SMS feature is activated.
Calling line identity MUST be enabled on the PSTN line for this feature to operate. Each country will
have its own SMS service provider with a unique phone number.
This feature is not released in all countries. Contact your local supplier for more information
(support of feature, recommended service provider).
