Trusted Phone Number

Follow the instructions below to add a Trusted Phone Number on the SMS page.
1. Send an SMS command to the device, and hit Refresh. If Trusted Phone
Number is enabled, and the phone number is not in the Trusted Phone
Number List, no action is performed on the message.
2. Once you have the Last Incoming Phone Number that shows up on the SMS
window in ACEmanager, note the exact phone number displayed.
3. Click Add More to add the Trusted Phone Number. The Last Phone Number
will continue to display. Additions to the Trusted Phone Number become
effective immediately. You do not need to reboot the device.
Note: The Trusted Phone number can be up to 15 characters long and must be comprised
of numbers only.
Note: Phone Numbers (both trusted and not trusted) will be displayed in the Last Incoming
Phone Number field.
4. Enter the Last Incoming Phone Number as the Trusted Phone Number.
5. Click Apply.
Note: Do not enter any extra digits, and use the Last Incoming display as a guide to type
the phone number. Use "1" only if it is used in the beginning of the Last Incoming Phone
Number.
With Trusted Phone Number enabled, only those SMS messages from Trusted
Phone Numbers will receive responses to commands or messages acted on as
applicable.

SMS Password Security

The SMS Password feature enables you to use a password to send a command
at any time to the device. Even if Trusted Phone Number is enabled, you can
send an SMS command from a non-trusted number, provided you include the
password.
A default SMS password is generated from the last four characters of the SIM ID
(for all SIM-based devices) or the ESN (for devices without a SIM, such those
using EV-DO), or you can configure your own SMS password.
