Account NOTE:
There
are
limitations
with
sending
texts
via
email. The
SMS engine
is
currently
only
compatible
with
GSM-based
carrier
operators.
1. Start a new email message.
2. In the To field, enter the modem's MDN plus the modem's carrier domain name (e.g., 2085555555@txt.att.net).
3. Enter the password and command in either the Subject field or Body of the email message. If you use the subject field, leave the body
blank, and if you use the body, leave the subject blank.
NOTE:
The
subject
field
may
be
limited
to
a
certain
number
of
characters, so
if
you
get
an
error
when
sending
the
command
on
the
subject
line,
switch
to
using
the
body
instead.)
SMS Commands Below is a list of supported SMS messages and the syntax format.
Due to security concerns, the set of commands are intentionally limited to those that can configure a modem's connection, but cannot lock
the administrator out due to malicious modem changes. Therefore, if an unsolicited request adjusts the modem's configuration via SMS, an
administrator can still access the modem via SMS.
Command syntax:
<password>,<command>,[arg1,][arg2,]
All commands start with the password – either the default of the last 8 digits of the router's MAC address or the administrator-configured password.
Commands can have an optional number of arguments.
NOTE:
The
trailing
comma
on
the
command
is
important
to
allow
the
SMS engine
to
distinguish
the
final
argument
from
other
information
the
SMS
client
might
append
to
the
message
without
your
knowledge.
