Depending if the JACE is running a station using the SmsService, the “Auto delete SMS messages after reading” property in the SMS Configuration section (Figure 9) should be set differently. By default, auto delete is disabled (checkbox cleared).
-
If not using the SmsService, then make sure to select (check) “Auto delete SMS messages after reading.” This keeps any possible “SMS spam” from filling the buffer on the GPRS modem, which could prevent receiving additional SMS messages—including possibly-needed remote SMS commands.
-
If using the SmsService, disable (clear) this configuration to auto delete SMS messages. Instead, in the station’s SmsService (in
Transport), configure “Delete Read Messages” to betrue. This lets the SmsService read/process messages before they are deleted in the GPRS modem’s buffer.
Other SMS related configuration properties include the following:
-
SMS Service Center — Leave blank for Wyless (note this is Service Provider dependent).
-
Enable remote SMS commands— Enable (check) if you require the ability to send SMS commands to the GPRS modem from a cell phone. See Remote SMS commands for related details.
