Python settings

Python-related settings for the SMS feature include:

• Enable SMS support for Python: Enable SMS features for Python on this Digi device. When this option is enabled, the remaining Python-specific SMS options may be configured. This option is enabled (on) by default.
• Received Message Queue Maximum: The number of received messages that may be placed on the dedicated Python SMS message read queue awaiting processing by Python. Once this limit is reached, new received messages are logged but discarded until the read queue falls below this configured maximum message count. The default value for this setting is 100 messages.
• Received Message Hold Time Maximum: The maximum amount of time in seconds that a received message will be held on the dedicated Python SMS message read queue while waiting for Python SMS message processing to be brought into service. This setting allows messages to be received and queued for Python before the Python program that processes them is ready to receive such messages, thereby eliminating loss of messages that are received before the Python program is ready to handle them. The default value for this setting is 600 seconds (10 minutes).
• Python SMS Password: Although this use is not typical, a message may be directed for deliver to Python by sending “#python” as a command to this Digi device. In such a case, this Python password may be configured to validate the acceptance of such a command message before it is accepted and placed on the dedicated Python SMS message read queue for further processing. When Python is configured as the Default Message Receiver, it is not necessary to use the Digi device command message syntax, since all otherwise unhandled messages will be delivered to the Python read queue. However, password validation is not performed for non-command messages. This option is disabled (no Python password required) by default. To remove the password, simply clear the password field on the settings page.
