The service center number for sending short messages. It is
generally retrieved automatically from your SIM card but you
may define a fix number here.
Routing & Filtering
By using SMS routing you can specify outbound rules which will be applied whenever mes-
sage are sent. On the one hand, you can forward them to an enabled modem. For a particu-
lar number, you can for instance enforce messages being sent over a dedicated SIM. Phone
numbers can also be specified by regular expressions, here are some examples:
Number
Result
+12345678
Specifies a fixed number
+1*
Specifies any numbers starting with
+1
+1*9
Specifies any numbers starting with
+1
and ending with
9
+[12]*
Specifies any numbers starting with either
+1
or
2
Table 5.100.: SMS Number Expressions
Please note that numbers have to be entered in international format including a valid prefix.
On the other hand, you can also define rules to drop outgoing messages, for instance, when
you want to avoid using any expensive service or international numbers.
Both types of rules form a list will be processed by order, forwarding outgoing messages
over the specified modem or dropping them. Messages which are not matching any of the
rules below will be dispatched to the first available modem.
Filtering serves a concept of firewalling incoming messages, thus either dropping or allow-
ing them on a per-modem basis. The created rules are processed by order and in case of
matches will either drop or forward the incoming message before entering the system. All
non-matching messages will be allowed.
Status
The status page can be used to the current modem status and get information about any
sent or received messages. There is a small SMS inbox reader which can be used to view
or delete the messages. Please note that the inbox will be cleared each midnight in case it
exceeds 512 kBytes of flash usage.
Testing
This page can be used to test whether SMS sending in general or filtering/routing rules
works. The maximum length per message part is limited to 160 characters, we also sug-
gest to exclusively use characters which are supported by the GSM 7-bit alphabet.
