5.4 Send e-mail from the iSeries
Messages created by GSM Text may user selectable be sent as e-mail. This
function is controlled by the user options, main menu option 2. E-mails can
be sent in addition to SMS or send instead of SMS. This is achieved by the
integrated SMTP client. It has support for encrypted mail using SSL built into
it.
5.5 Receive SMS messages on the iSeries
MidJet GSM Text has the optional (license types LB, 2B, U1 and UB)
capability to receive messages. It can receive SMS messages sent from
GSM telephones, or other equipment. The originator can be another iSeries,
running this software.
When a message arrives, it is stored in the receive log file. The content of
this file can be viewed in the Message log on the Main menu.
The message content will be a one or two character command code with
optional parameters. Parameters are separated with blank or # sign. Other
separator characters can be configured. A special type of command is used
to reply to system or user-created messages. A message that will accept a
reply is identified on the string
--> rpy to nbr: (reply number)
This string is added to the message text when the message is sent from the
iSeries. The reply number is created automatically, and is starting from 1 for
every recipient. Reply numbers are reused, if no messages for a user are
waiting for a reply the next will have reply number 1.
A message reply must be sent before the reply validity period for a message
expires. For system messages this limit is 72 hours. For user created
messages this can be specified when the message is created. A message
that no longer accepts a reply will be marked in the Receive log as
*EXPIRED .
In the same way as for delivered messages, entries in the receive log can be
automatically removed.
5.6 Process received messages
Receiving a message activates the receive process function. A new
message will first be checked concerning authority. Three levels exist, and
can be individually specified per command code. The most secure level
requires that the originator is registered in the MidJet GSM Text user file,
and specifically granted authority to the command. Intermediate level
requires that the originator is a registered user. The third level performs no
security check at all.
If the incoming message is valid for processing, a command string will be
built. It will be based on the command string in the command code file
together with parameters from the incoming message and/or default
parameter values. System message replies are processed immediately, user
messages can optionally be processed in batch later.
