Requirements

Computer

GSM service

Internet connection

E-mail account on SMTP server

The SMS Bridge runs on Windows 2000 and XP personal computers. The computer must have an RS-232 serial (COM) port for connection of the GSM modem or a serial port adaptor.

The SMS Bridge receives data over the GSM mobile phone network via SMS text messages. This requires a GSM account and SIM card (not included).

More information about the GSM system, including coverage maps, is available from www.gsmworld.com. To obtain GSM service, consult with a local GSM mobile phone provider.

Note: Verify that the GSM provider supports text messaging through “circuit- switched” core network services rather than “packet switched” services.

The SMS Bridge requires an ISDN or faster connection to the Internet. If the Internet connection is not “always on”, it must be capable of automatic log on.

An e-mail address is required by the MailHandler service to send system messages. This function is an optional convenience and not required for data relay.

Note: The current version of the SMS Bridge does not support password authentication. The MailHandler service does not work if your SMTP email server requires authentication to send outgoing mail.
