Parameters
Command-line parameters:
sendsms TO: number SCA: number [PIN: number] [-h TcpHost] [-p TcpPort] -m messfile | "message"
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| TO: number | Number of a GSM mobile phone along with the GSM operator prefix. E.g. the GSM Orange-SK number 0905/432454 must be entered as 0905432454. Required parameter. |
| SCA: number | The number of a message center for sending messages. The number must be defined in the full format along with the character "+" before the number. Message center number of Orange-SK must be defined as +421905303303, T-mobile SK as +421903333000, and O2-SK as +421949909909. Required parameter. |
| PIN: number | If a SIM card is blocked by a PIN code, it must be defined by means of the parameter. |
| -h TcpHost | If AT commands are not sent via a serial line, the parameter defines the host to which the utility should create a TCP connection. |
| -p SerialPort/TcpPort | Serial communication port entered in the form of COMx (e.g. COM2). In the case of TCP communication, this parameter defines the TCP port, to which the utility is to be connected. |
| -m messfile | Contents of the SMS message to send is stored in the file messfile. |
| "message" | Contents of the SMS to send. If a sequence \n is in the message, the sequence will be replaced by the characters CR and LF. |
