Send SMS Message
You can configure SMS messages to be sent when an event occurs and
can customize the message.
Messages consist of a combination of free text and PX3 placeholders.
The placeholders represent information which is pulled from the PX3
and inserted into the message.
A supported modem, such as the Cinterion
®
GSM MC52i modem, must be
plugged into the PX3 in order to send SMS messages. See
Connecting a
GSM Modem
(on page 82).
Note: The PX3 cannot receive SMS messages.
For example:
[USERNAME] logged into the device on [TIMESTAMP]
translates to
JQPublic logged into the device on 2012-January-30 21:00
