The following steps show you the basic configuration of the SMS module in a 3G/4G WWAN-enabled device.
-
Start LANconfig and open the configuration dialog for the device.
-
Navigate to the menu item .
-
Under Inbox size you set the maximum number of text messages stored in the device inbox.
If the preset number is exceeded, the oldest message will be deleted. In this case there is no SYSLOG entry. The value 0 disables the limit, i.e. an unlimited number of messages will be stored.
-
The item Deletion of sent messages decides how the device handles sent text messages.
- Immediately: Sent messages are not saved.
- Never: Sent messages are saved permanently.
-
Under Outbox size you set the maximum number of text messages stored in the device outbox.
If the preset number is exceeded, the oldest message will be deleted. In this case there is no SYSLOG entry. The value 0 disables the limit, i.e. an unlimited number of messages will be stored.
-
Under Syslog messaging you specify if and how the arrival of text messages is logged to the SYSLOG.
- No: Incoming text messages are not logged to SYSLOG.
- Only sender/no content: The arrival of a text message is recorded to the SYSLOG together with the sender's phone number.
- Full: The arrival of a text message is recorded to the SYSLOG together with the sender's phone number and the message in full.
-
Optional: Under Mail forwarding address you specify the e-mail address to which the device is to forward the incoming SMS text messages.
Important: E-mail routing will only work if a valid SMTP account is configured in the device.
-
Now write the configuration back to the device.
That's it! This concludes the basic configuration of the SMS module.
