Configure SMS messaging in Remote Manager
You can configure a XBee device to use SMS functionality in Remote Manager. This feature uses a
"request connect" operation and asks a device to make a full TCP connection to Remote Manager. For
a device with SMS capability this can be significantly lower on latency and data cap consumption, as it
does not involve polling.
Each device must be individually configured in Remote Manager to use this feature.
Note
The SMS provision feature cannot be used. This feature is found by selecting a device and then
choosing
More > SMS > Provision
. Attempts to enable this feature are ignored.
1. Set up a persistent connection to connect the device to Remote Manager using one of the
following methods:
n
Remote Manager
: A persistent connection can be set up in Remote Manager. This
option should be used when you have many deployed devices and no local access. See
Restore persistent connection to a remote XBee
.
n
XCTU
: This option allows immediate access, and should be used when you have local
access, such as when using a development kit or in a lab environment. See
and
. Both must be enabled.

3. Select the
Device Management
tab.
4. Select the device that you want to configure.
5. In the toolbar, select
More > SMS > Configure
. The
SMS Configuration
dialog appears.
6. Select the
SIM 1
option. This should be selected by default.
7. In the
Phone Number
field, enter the device's SIM card phone number. You can use the
command to discover the device's phone number.
8. Expand the
Advanced Options
section.
9. From the
Server Number for SIM 1
list box, select the appropriate option:
n
If the Remote Manager phone number is a domestic number, select a short code. The
default is
32075-idgp
.
n
If the Remote Manager phone number is an international number, select a long code.
Note
The options in the
Server Number for SIM 1
list box are determined within Remote
Manager, and are used to ensure an SMS connection between the device and Remote
Manager. The option selected from the list box must match the Remote Manager phone
number and service ID set for the device. The XBee examines received SMS messages and if
the phone number matches and content contains the correct service ID it will be processed
internally rather than being delivered as user data.
By default, the device is configured with "32075" as the Remote Manger phone number and
"idgp" as the Remote Manager service ID. If you need an alternate short (domestic) code or a
long (international) code, you can re-configure the device using the
and
RI (Remote Manager Service ID)
commands.
