SMS settings

The Remote Manager provides the following SMS settings when you right-click the menu for XBee Gateway cellular models:

• Properties > Advanced Configuration > Cellular SMS
• Properties > Advanced Configuration > Device Cloud SMS
• SMS > SMS commands | Configure

Properties > Advanced Configuration > Cellular SMS

Enabled: This setting enables or disables all SMS features on this Digi device. When you enable this option, the remaining SMS options may be configured. This option is disabled (off) by default.

Properties > Advanced Configuration > Device Cloud SMS

These settings configure the Remote Manager-registered device to be managed by Remote Manager via Short Message Service (SMS) messages.

• State: Enables or disables Remote Manager SMS support.
• Restrict Sender to only Server Phone Number: Only process inbound messages for Remote Manager from the number specified in the Phone Number setting. Messages from other phone numbers will be passed on to other SMS Services on the device.
• Server Phone Number: The phone number or short code of the Remote Manager platform. For more information on the Remote Manager SMS Phone Number and Service ID fields, contact your Digi sales Representative, or use the Remote Manager Provision command. The default value for the phone number is 32075.
• Server Service Identifier: The Service Identifier (prefix) of Remote Manager. This field is an optional setting. Use the Service Identifier when there is a shared short code in use, and an identifier (prefix) is required to redirect a message to a specific service under that short code. The default value is idgp.
