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

Actions with Intellect objects can be performed when a SMS is received. Macros, programs in the language embedded in Intellect or Jscript scripts are used for this. When the sms is received the SMS object sends the RECEIVE event in Intellect.

The short messages are transferred using the services of the GSM mobile providers. To send the short messages, dedicated devices are used: GSM modems, GSM adapters and mobile phones.

When using a device with Android OS incoming messages are transliterated in Intellect.

When using Intellect software SMS service a certain fee should usually be paid to the mobile providers.

To be able to send the short messages, a GSM modem, a GSM adapter or a mobile phone supporting ETSI GSM 07.07 or ETSI GSM 07.05 should be installed on the computer.

The following modem models are currently integrated into Intellect software:

  1. 3G -modem Huawei E160, is identified as HUAWEI Mobile Connect -3G Modem in OS Windows. Modem control program is not required to be run to work with this device.
  2. 3G-modem ZTE MF626 is identified as ZTE Proprietary HS-USB Modem in OS Windows.To use this device it is necessary to install the hardware, which installation will be run automatically after the modem is connected.
  3. Huawei E173 3G modem. The RECEIVE event is supported if the ProcessFromSim registry key is in use (see Registry keys reference guide).

Most mobile operators protect their USB-modems from using them in mobile networks of other operators. Launch the utility installed with the device simultaneously with the Intellect software to activate sms-notifications when the modem protected by operator is in use. Any other actions (connect to 3G, etc.) with the utility are not required. 

To create and send a short 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.
