SMS Driver is intended for sending/receiving short text messages (SMS) from/to Reliance's runtime software. Sending and receiving messages is provided by the GSM modem connected to the computer. The modem must be able to be connected to the computer via the RS232 serial interface and must support the GSM 07.05 standard for working with SMS messages. For information about the GSM 07.05 specification, you must register on the ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) website. This standard is supported by the absolute majority of the GSM modems.
These GSM modems have been tested:
Communication between SMS Driver and the GSM modem is configurable allowing you to initialize and launch the GSM modem in its specifics.

Sending SMS messages can be accomplished by calling a function from a Reliance script. The messages are passed to the driver which provides sending the messages to the recipient. The status of outgoing messages can be traced (whether the message has been sent or a reason – error code – why it has not been sent).
When the message is received, a user-defined script is run. Consequently, information about the message (sender's telephone number, text, delivery time, etc.) is passed to the script as a parameter. This makes it possible to respond to the received message in a correct way. Based on the delivered text (can contain the name of a device and tags), for instance, you can respond to the sender with text containing this tag's value.
For information about the price, please contact your local distributor.
