6.1 GSM and Pager character set

GSM and Pager devices usually handle an 8-bit character set that can create diffi-

culties in relation with some national characters.

In order to address this problem, the MM8000 localisation kit includes two simple

MS-Access files: Ucs2Gsm.mdb and Ucs2Pager.mdb (related to SMS and

Pager, respectively) in order to provide the possibility to customise any number of

characters in the set applied in SMS or Pager messages.

Both files are located in the “<installation folder>\Server” subfolder and contain a

data table organised in 2 columns named:

− UCS (Unicode Character Set) and GMS

− UCS (Unicode Character Set) and Pager

Microsoft Access 2000 is required to open and modify the files. You can also use

a more recent version of MS-Access software, in that case, however, pay atten-

tion not to modify the general data structure.

The characters that require a customised conversion must be present in the table

both as Unicode and as the corresponding GMS/Pager code. Please refer to the

GSM/Pager device documentation.

In case of problem, we recommend you to contact FS DMS customer support.
