Command Description
SMS Destination Allows you to chose where the SMS message is going to be locally received and if it is
going to be received by ALEOS command parser or by a host on the other side (Host, USB
serial or IP) select the SMS destination.
Select your destination for the SMS and based on your selection additional fields may
become available.
Incoming messages are sent to the specified host. This can be a serial interface or an IP
and port. If no host routing is configured, ALEOS treats the message as an ALEOS SMS
Command.
Messages sent to an IP address and port are put in the Airlink SMS Protocol in a UDP
packet. ALEOS then routes this packet to the matching host interface (Ethernet, USBNet,
WiFi)
If you chose:
• Serial or USB Serial - Select “Yes” or “No” to Incoming Phone number on serial.
• IP - Enter Destination IP and Destination port.
SMS Send Enable Send SMS from the connected Host, which is the device connected locally to the ALEOS
device such as a computer ir digital sign. When this field is enabled it will require a ALEOS
port.
To send an SMS (outgoing)
• From the seria port”
From the CLI there is a new AT command to send SMS messages:
AT*SMSM2M="<phone> <message>"
This allows an SMS messages to be sent to another modem as a single line item.
• From a Host Device
PC's and other devices connected to the Host IP interfaces (Ethernet, USBNet, WiFi) can
also send SMS messages from the modem.
To send an outgoing SMS from the host device, a program on the PC will need to send a
message to a user defined port in ALEOS. The message has to be in AirLink SMS
Protocol, that contains the phone number and message body (text). ALEOS will parse the
message and send an SMS.
See below for examples of the SMS body text.
Delimiter Start Delimiter - Inbound message at the beginning of the message.
End Delimiter - Inbound message at the end of the message.
For example, SMS to the phone number is “Left Lane Closed”.
ALEOS to Host - <<<left lane closed>>>
The packet sent to the host will have start and end delimiter which surrounds the message.
ACK Delimiter ALEOS will provide an ACK on every SMS message when it is passed to the radio. Infa
application to wait for ACK before sending next SMS message. If ALEOS does not send
an ACK wait for 30 seconds and retry.
