Execute actions on incoming SMS

As of LCOS 10.80 routers with a WWAN module can react to incoming SMS text messages with predefined actions. This allows you to respond to an incoming SMS (e.g. data budget used up) by sending your own SMS to the Internet provider, for example to book a new data budget.

In LANconfig you configure this under Logging/Monitoring > SMS messages > SMS action table > Action table.

Activates or deactivates this table entry.
Sender
Sender address of the incoming SMS, which is the basis for the subsequent action. E.g. 7277 for Deutsche Telekom.
Check for
Content of the incoming SMS to be checked for. For example, contains=' used up' in the event of an exhausted data budget. The text that is checked for is case-sensitive!
Action
