Administration
NetModule routers can receive or send short messages (SMS) if enabled by your SIM provider.
Messages are received/sent by the modem which has been assigned to a SIM, so one has to properly
configure a SMS-capable default modem as described in chapter
5.3.3 .
Please note that the system may switch SIMs in case you are running multiple WWAN interfaces
sharing the same SIM. Thus, it may happen that a different modem will be used for communication or,
if the SIM is unassigned, any operation will even stop.
Please do not forget that modems might register roaming to foreign networks where other fees may
apply. You can manually assign a fixed network (by LAI) in the Mobile SIMs section (see
5.3.3 ).
Sending messages heavily depends on the registration state of the modem and whether the provided
SMS Center service works and may fail. You may use the
sms-report-received
event to figure out
whether a message has been successfully sent.
Received messages are pulled from the SIMs and temporarily stored on the router but get cleared
after a system reboot. Please consider to consult an SDK script in case you want to process or copy
them.
