Sutron Corporation X-Link Operations & Maintenance Manual, Rev 1.63 5/24/2016 pg. 55
Below is a configuration where the station simply transmits SMS messages only:
5.3.7.
SMS transmissions vs. SMS Notifications
When scheduled and alarm transmissions are set up to transmit via SMS (
Tx
Mode = SMS and Tx Mode = Internet Fallback SMS
), the transmissions are
expected to be received by a computer, such as Sutron WIN. It is not expected
that the customer will receive those on a cell phone. These transmissions are
formatted in whatever
Tx Format
the user selected, including Pseudobinary.
They are not meant to be read by a person. Instead, those transmissions are to
be collected by a computer and the sensor data placed into a database.
SMS notifications, on the other hand, are meant to be sent directly to a
customer's cell phone. Those notifications are formatted so that a person can
read and understand them.
Here is an example of the difference:
SMS transmission:
C2+AAyMf@[email protected]
SMS notification:
SUTRON DEV 1
Alarm In, 4
BV 13.8720 In Alarm
STAGE 10.157
PRECIP 0.00
TEMP 24.2
Tx today: good 1, bad 0
