| ==Email to SMS==
| |
| | |
| Email to SMS is a function that checks your email’s inbox at the specified frequency and, if it finds any new received emails with a specific subject, it converts them to SMS messages.
| |
| | |
| '''NOTE''': all POP3 server email messages from inbox will be deleted.

| You may have noticed that there is no option where you can specify recipient's phone number. The reason for that is that '''Email to SMS''' doesn't forward all emails, only the ones that are meant to be forwarded. Only emails with the recipient's phone number in the subject will be forwarded (to the number specified in the subject). Phone number must contain country code. Phone number format is: 00{COUNTRY_CODE} {RECEIVER_NUMBER}, e.g., 0037062312345 (370 is country code and 62312345 is receiver's phone number)
| |
| | |
| ==Scheduled SMS==
| |
| | |
| '''Scheduled SMS''' allows you to periodically send automated SMS messages to a specified number. Scheduled messages are managed in rule form, i.e., similar to '''SMS Utilities'''. Therefore, to configure a new Scheduled Message, we must first create a rule. To create a new rule, type in a phone number in the '''Phone number''' field located in the '''Scheduled Messages Configuration''' section and press the '''Add''' button located next to it.
| |
| | |
| After this you will be redirected to the '''Scheduled Messages Configuration''' window.
| |
| | |
| ===Scheduled Messages Configuration===
| |
| ---- | |
| '''Scheduled messages''' provides you with the possibility to set up a rule that sends SMS messages to specified recipients periodically. To create a new rule, enter the recipient's Phone number and Message sending interval and click the "Add" button. The new rule will appear in the "Messages to send" table, but will be disabled and unconfigured. To configure your rule, simply click the "Edit" button located next to it.

Summary
The SMS Gateway service is used to set up various SMS related functions, such SMS control via HTTP Post/Get and automated operations such as Scheduled SMS, Email to SMS and SMS Forwarding to HTTP, Email, SMS.
This chapter of the user manual provides an overview of the SMS Gateway page for RUT240 devices.
Post/Get
The Post/Get Configuration section is used to turn ON and configure SMS related post/get settings. When the function is enabled, it provides you with the possibility to perform SMS related action requests by writing them in the URL field of your web browser.
The figure below is an example of the Post/Get Configuration page and the table below provides information on fields contained in that page:
Field |
Value |
Description |
Enable |
yes | no; default: no |
Turns SMS post/get on or off. |
User name |
string; default: user1 |
Username used for authorization when sending post/get requests. |
Password |
string; default: user_pass |
Password used for authorization when sending post/get requests. |
SMS Post/Get usage examples
Use a web browser or any other compatible software to send HTTP POST/GET strings to
the router. The router must be connected to a GSM network when using the Send SMS
feature. Below you will find a table with possible actions and examples on how to use them:

Email to SMS
Email to SMS is a function that connects to your email account and checks its inbox at the specified frequency. If it finds any new received emails with a specific subject (phone number in email subject), it sends the body of the email as an SMS message(s) to the recipient specified in the email subject field.
Important note: all POP3 server email messages from inbox will be deleted when using this service.
Field |
Value |
Description |
Enable |
yes | no; default: no |
Turns Email to SMS on or off. |
POP3 server |
host | ip; default: none |
Email service provider's POP3 server address (can be looked up online). |
Server port |
integer [0..65535]; default: none |
Email service provider's POP3 server port (can be looked up online). |
User name |
string; default: none |
Email account username, used in authentication when connecting to the email client. |
Password |
string; default: none |
Email account password, used in authentication when connecting to the email client. |
Secure connection (SSL) |
yes | no; default: no |
SSL is a protocol for transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL uses a cryptographic system that uses two keys to encrypt data − a public key known to everyone and a private or secret key known only to the recipient of the message. |
Max. email symbol count |
integer; default: 160 |
Limit of symbols that can be contained in the email body of text. Emails that contain more symbols than it is specified in this field will be ignored. |
Check email every |
time [1 minute to 15 days]; default: 1 minute |
Email inbox check interval. |
Additional note: you may have noticed that there is no option where you can specify
the recipient's phone number. As mentioned earlier, Email to SMS doesn't forward all
emails, just the ones that are meant to be forwarded. Only emails with the recipient's
phone number in the subject will be forwarded to SMS.
Correct phone number format is:
- 00 - number must be preceded by two zeros
- <country_code> - the next following element is the number holder's country code
- <receivers_number> - phone number of the recipient
For example, a valid number would be 0037000000000 (370 is country code and 00000000 is the receiver's phone number, all preceded by 00).
Scheduled SMS
Scheduled SMS allows you to set up the router to periodically send SMS messages to a specified number. Scheduled messages are managed in rule form. Therefore, to configure a new Scheduled Message, we must first create a rule. To create a new rule, type in a phone number in the Phone number field located in the Scheduled Messages Configuration section and click the Add button located next to it.
After this you will be redirected to the Scheduled Messages Configuration window where you can configure all parameters related to the rule. Once you save the configuration, you will be redirected back to the Scheduled SMS page, where you will see your new rule in the Messages To Send section:
Scheduled Messages Configuration
The figure below is an example of the Scheduled Messages Configuration window and the table below provides information on the field contained in that window:

Method |
Post | Get; default: Get |
Defines the HTTP transfer method. |
URL |
host | ip | host:port | ip:port; default: none |
URL or IP address to which the messages will be forwarded. By default, the router forward messages to the default HTTP port (port 80). To specify a different port add a colon (:) symbol followed by the port number (for example, 192.168.1.1:81). |
Number value name |
string; default: none |
Name to assign the sender’s phone number value in query string. |
Message value name |

For example, when using the Post method, one may enter some static information about the device, like 'Router name' on the left and 'RUT240' on the right. This can also be utilized when using the Get method to request data from an HTTP server. |
Mode |
All messages | From listed numbers; default: All messages |
Specifies whether all messages should be forwarded or only those received from specific numbers. |
Sender's phone number |
phone number; default: none |
Phone number(s) that will qualify for forwarding. To add multiple numbers, click the symbol. This field becomes visible when the "Mode" field value is set to 'From listed numbers'. |
Forwarding To HTTP example
This example will atempt to explain how to use the data fields in SMS forwarding to HTTP configuration. The fields in question are Number & Message value name and Extra data pair 1 & 2 fields. The figure below is the configuration we'll be using for this example:
If you configure the router as seen in the image above and send an SMS message to the router containing the text Hello!, from the number +37000000000, the specified server should reiceve an encoded query string that looks like this:
Sender=%2B37000000000&Text=Hello%21&Name=RUT240&Code=RUT240%2006E000
The & symbol separates the the key-value pairs, while certain characters (like +, ! and the space symbol) are encoded in UTF-8. When decoded it might look something like this:
Sender: +37000000000
Text: Hello!
Name: RUT240
Code: RUT240 06E000
