Configure Mobile
This category allows you to assign which mobile phone you can use to send system commands and receive confirmation replies. These must support text messaging via SMS (Short Message Service) along with short codes. If you do not know whether your mobile phone supports short codes, please contact your wireless carrier.
Note: If you are online with Total Connect, this guide and the companion online help guides; Total Connect for BlackBerry, Total Connect for Mobile Phones and others are available.

If no abbreviation has been assigned, add one in the SMS System Abbreviation Name field.
