conditions occur. The modem can send such messages to up to three devices. SMS charges might apply.
The format of an SMS alert message is as follows: [XXX] [YYYYYY] [ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ] [Text]
• [XXX] is a message ID with a number from 0 to 999. For example, 003.
• [YYYYYY] is the model number, which consists of 6 characters. For example, LB1110.
