Enable cellular Short Message Service (SMS) capabilities: Enable SMS features on this Digi device. When this option is enabled, the remaining SMS options may be configured. This option is disabled (off) by default.
Send ACK reply via SMS when command is accepted: When a command message is received via SMS, send an acknowledgment (ACK) message via SMS to the originator of the command message, indicating that the command has been accepted and will be processed. This option is disabled (off) by default.
Send NAK reply via SMS if password validation fails: When a command message is received via SMS, and a required password is either missing or incorrect, send a negative acknowledgment (NAK) message via SMS to the originator of the command message, indicating that the command has been rejected due to password validation failure. This option is disabled (off) by default.
Global SMS Command Password: When a command message is received via SMS, and a global password is specified in these settings, that password must be provided by the originator of the command message or the message will be rejected by the Digi device. If a command-specific password is configured, that command-specific password must be provided instead of this global command password. Specifically, a command-specific password overrides the global password, and the global password is not considered if a command-specific password is configured in the settings. This option is disabled (no global password required) by default. To remove the password, simply clear the password field on the settings page.
Default Message Receiver: When Default Message Receiver receives a message via SMS, the Default Message Receiver determines which SMS “user” will receive the message and process it. This handling pertains to messages that are not enabled commands for which command processing is performed. The choices for this option are:
Log Only: The received message is logged but otherwise not processed (default option).
Python: The received message is passed to the standard Python receiver. Further processing of the message text is the responsibility of the Python program that is implemented to receive SMS messages. Note that these messages are logged when they are placed on the Python read queue.
Enable extended detail for SMS event logging (verbose): The SMS feature normally records limited, relevant activities to the system event log. These log entries identify SMS initialization, reconfiguration, and message send/receive activities. For troubleshooting purposes, you can enable this option to record the message send and receive activity logging in greater detail. However, this can result in filling the event log with more SMS activity records than are useful for normal operation. Digi recommends enabling this option only when detail is required for a limited period of time. This option is disabled (off) by default.
