SMS Gateway protocol supports:
- sending SMS
- receiving SMS

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 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 tad, the value of the last dialed number is saved. Together with I/O tag with OUTGOINGRESULTFLAG address it informs about a result of call. | |
| Co | OUTGOINGRINGTIME | It sets duration of outgoing call including the dialing. It can be used as trigger to start dialing. If the phone number (the value of I/O tag with BUSY address is TRUE) cannot be dialed at that time, the values of I/O tags keep in a queue and postponed for later processing. | |
| Di | OUTGOINGRESULTFLAG | It informs about the result of call. If outgoing call has been received, the value is TRUE, otherwise FALSE. | |
| Incoming calls | |||
| TxtI | INCOMMINGTELNUM | Contains the phone number of 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 SMS message will be sent. | |
| TxtO | OUTGOINGSMSID | It keeps the value of own unique identifier of message. This value helps to find out whether the message could have been sent. It also couples the message receipts with the sent message. | |
| TxtO | OUTGOINGSMSBODY | Sets the text of 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 necessary I/O tags are saved into the queue. SMS message is ready to send. | |
| 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, there is necessary, together with the identifier, which is set in I/O tag with address, to inform about the status of each SMS message. | |

| TxtI | INCOMMINGRECEIPTID | It keeps the unique identifier of SMS message, which was chosen during its sending. | |
| Ci | INCOMMINGRECEIPTTRIGGERIN | If the new SMS receipt has been received, the value is incremented by 1. The value of identifier INCOMMINGRECEIPTID is valid at the particular moment. | |
