How to Text from an Email 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., [e-mail]).
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 eight 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.
Supported Commands
reboot – Reboot the router (not the modem)
Syntax:
<password>,reboot,
Example:
1234,reboot,
restore – Restore the router to factory defaults
Syntax:
<password>,restore,
