Description
SMS Gateway protocol supports:
- sending SMS
- receiving SMS
- dialing calls
- receiving calls
The implementation is based on the sending and processing of AT commands that are exchanged through the asynchronous serial line.
Communication line configuration
Communication line category: Modem
Communication line parameters:
| Parameter | Default value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Device | Name of communication port. | |
| Init command | AT&F | AT command that reinitializes a device. |
| Dial command | ATD | AT command used when dialing a telephone number. |
| Hangup | +++~~~~ATH | AT command to hang up the connection. |
| DTR | Checked | DTR signal is used to hang up connection instead of AT command. |
Communication station configuration
| Parameter | Default value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
Trace Data | YES | Both received and sent data are written to the log file. |
PIN Code | 0000 | PIN code of SIM card (GSM modem). |
Use Semicolon | YES | A semicolon is inserted at the end of the ATD command. |
Hang Up Incoming Call | YES | Enable to hang up the incoming call in a defined time. |
Hang Up Time | 35 sec | Defines the duration of an incoming call. |
Delay Between Rings | 3 sec | Some of the modems do not inform about change of status: "ringing -> received", "ringing -> hung up". In "ringing" status, the flags that indicate ringing are sent. If during the interval configured by this parameter, the ringing is not indicated, the status automat of the protocol will change its status to "hang up". Zero disables to use this indication. |
Outgoing Call Duration | 3 sec | The time after which the outgoing call is terminated. |
Modem Is Ready Interval | 600 sec | After elapsing of this time, the modem is reinitiated. |
Acknowledgment of Receipt | YES | Whether the receipts acknowledgments are enabled when sending SMS messages. |
Service Center Address | +421905303303 | Phone number of the service center for SMS messages. Slovakia O2: +421 949 909 909 Slovakia Orange: +421 905 303 303 Slovakia Telecom (T-Mobile): +421 903 333 000 |
Read From Modem SMS | 60 sec | Interval of checking the received messages and receipts in the modem. |
Expect OK After Dial | YES | Indicates whether a device sends the answer "OK" after dialing the phone number. |
Reinit On Every Operation | NO | Modem reinitialization before every SMS sending and before every dialing. If this parameter has the value NO, then the modem is initialized at the beginning of work and regularly according to the value of the Modem Is Ready Interval parameter. |
Query Signal Quality | NO | Querying signal quality before every SMS sending and before every dialing. The detected signal quality is not shown anywhere and can only be found in the communication line logs. |
I/O tag configuration
I/O tags: Ci, Co, Di , Do, TxtI, TxtO
| Value type | Address | Meaning | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outgoing calls | |||
| TxtO | OUTGOINGTELNUM | it sets the phone number of the outgoing call. | |
| TxtI | OUTGOINGRESULTNUMBER | The protocol can send multiple requests to dial a phone number at the same time. These requests are saved to the list and they are dialed gradually. In the I/O tag, the value of the last dialed number is saved. Together with the I/O tag with the OUTGOINGRESULTFLAG address, it informs about the result of the call. | |
| Co | OUTGOINGRINGTIME | It sets the duration of the outgoing call including the dialing. It can be used as a trigger to start dialing. If the phone number cannot be dialed at that time (the value of the I/O tag with the BUSY address is TRUE), the values of the required I/O tags are stored in a queue and postponed for later processing. | |
| Di | OUTGOINGRESULTFLAG | It informs about the result of the call. If the outgoing call has been received, the value is TRUE, otherwise FALSE. | |
| Di | MODEMERROR | An I/O tag that informs whether a modem error occurred when the call was made. | |
| Incoming calls | |||
| TxtI | INCOMMINGTELNUM | Contains the phone number of an incoming call. | |
| Di | INCOMMINGRINGING | It indicates that the incoming call is active. At a given moment the value INCOMMINGTELNUM is not valid yet. | |
| Outgoing SMS messages | |||
| TxtO | OUTGOINGSMSNUMBER | Sets the phone number to which an SMS message will be sent. | |
| TxtO | OUTGOINGSMSID | It keeps the value of the user-defined unique identifier of the message. This value helps to find out whether the message was sent. It also couples the message receipts with the sent message. | |
| TxtO | OUTGOINGSMSBODY | Sets the text of an SMS message. It is a trigger of sending the message, which means that its value must be set as the last. After starting the trigger, the values of all necessary I/O tags are saved into the queue. The SMS message is ready to be sent. | |
| Di | OUTGOINGSMSRESULT | Together with the identifier, which is set in I/O tag with address OUTGOINGSMSRESULTID, it informs about the status of sending the SMS message. | |
| TxtI | OUTGOINGSMSRESULTID | If there are multiple SMS messages in the queue, it is necessary to inform about the status of each SMS message, together with the identifier, which is set in the I/O tag with OUTGOINGSMSID address. | |
| Incoming SMS messages | |||
| Txti | INCOMMINGSMSNUMBER | It contains the phone number of the received SMS message. | |
| Txti | INCOMMINGSMSBODY | It contains the text of the received SMS message. | |
| Ci | INCOMMINGSMSTRIGGERIN | If the new SMS message has been received, the value is incremented by 1. It may be used as the trigger of receiving the new SMS message. | |
| Co | INCOMMINGSMSTRIGGEROUT | It confirms the reading of the SMS message. The value from the I/O tag with INCOMMINGSMSTRIGGERIN address must be written to this I/O tag. | |
| SMS receipts | |||
| TxtI | INCOMMINGRECEIPTID | It keeps the unique identifier of an SMS message, which was chosen during its sending. | |
| Ci | INCOMMINGRECEIPTTRIGGERIN | If a new SMS receipt has been received, the value is incremented by 1. The value of the I/O tag with INCOMMINGRECEIPTID address is valid at the particular moment. | |
| Co | INCOMMINGRECEIPTTRIGGEROUT | It confirms the reading of SMS receipt. The value from the I/O tag with INCOMMINGRECEIPTTRIGGERIN address must be written to this I/O tag. | |
| Common | |||
| Di | BUSY | The I/O tag informing about modem status. | |
