The Short Message Service (SMS) is used for sending SMS messages to mobile phones about alarm events registered in Intellect. An SMS message is sent automatically upon registration of any events specified in the corresponding macro.

Actions on Intellect objects can be performed when an SMS message is received. Macros, programs in the language embedded in Intellect or Jscript scripts are used for this. When an SMS message is received, the SMS object sends the RECEIVE event to Intellect (see SMS Short Message Service).

SMS messages are sent using the services of the mobile providers via GSM. To send SMS messages, the dedicated devices are used: GSM modems, GSM adapters and mobile phones or devices with Android operating system. SMS messages are sent to mobile phones by mobile service providers.

Note

When using SMS in Intellect, note the following: mobile service providers usually charge for sending SMS messages.

To be able to send SMS messages, a GSM modem, a GSM adapter, a mobile phone or a device with Android operating system supporting ETSI GSM 07.07 or ETSI GSM 07.05 should be installed on the computer (see Android-based Intellect SMS Sender Mobile Application. User Guide).

The following modem models are currently integrated into Intellect:

  1. 3G-modem Huawei E160. In Windows OS it is identified as HUAWEI Mobile Connect-3G Modem. Modem control program is required to be run to work with this device.
  2. 3G-modem ZTE MF626. In Windows OS it is identified as ZTE Proprietary HS-USB Modem.To use this device it is necessary to install the software. The software installation will run automatically after the modem is connected.
  3. 3G-modem Huawei E173. The RECEIVE event is supported if using the ProcessFromSim registry key (see Registry keys reference guide).

Note

Many mobile service providers protect their USB-modems from use in other providers' networks. When you use the modem protected by the provider, run the utility included in the modem bundle simultaneously with Intellect to activate the SMS. You do not need to perform any other actions with the utility (connect to 3G, etc.).

Note

When using a modem control application, it takes 10 seconds to deliver a message.

The procedure for creating and sending an SMS message:

  1. Create and set up the Short Message Service object.
  2. Create and set up the Short Message object.
  3. Create a macro for sending the short message.
