Creating A Broadcast Message For Future Use - Multitech MultiModem SF 100-G User Manual

Creating a Broadcast Message for Future Use

In this example a school wants to be prepared to send a message that school is closed for the day. The
Administrator creates a Trigger Message word Snow and the following Broadcast Message:
School is closed today.
This example assumes that a Group called Parents has been created and that SF 100 stands for the
Administrator's cell phone number.
Go to the Triggers > Add a Broadcast Trigger screen.
1.
•
Enter Snow in the Trigger Message word box. Trigger message words or codes are not case-
sensitive.
•
Enter the Broadcast Message. In this case the message is School is closed today.
•
Select the Group that will receive this message. In this case the group is Parents.
•
Check the Authenticate box to indicate that this message can be sent by an authenticated user
only.
•
The Authentic User selected to trigger this message is SF 100, the Administrator's cell phone.
Note: All phone numbers for Authenticated Users must be preceded by the country code ("1"
for U.S.) in the address book so the MultiModem iSMS can match the phone number of the
received SMS trigger message with the phone number in the Authenticated User list.
•
Click Save. The following screen displays the Broadcast Message saved for future use.
To trigger the broadcasting of this message to the Parent group, the administrator sends the SMS
2.
text message word Snow from his cell phone to the MultiModem iSMS. When the MultiModem
iSMS receives this message, it compares the Administrator's cell phone number with the
Authentication List and if they match, it broadcasts the message to everyone in the Parent group.
