Requesting software or configuration

In order to be able to request software or phone configurations from the DME server, a user needs to know the following information:

• An SMS Code

  The SMS code is what you set up in the previous section.

• The server's phone number

  You can find the phone number of the server's SMS server in the Server tab - click Server configuration > SMS modem. The field Modem phone number field contains the number you need. See SMS modem in the DME Web Administration Reference.

• A download code

  There are three different download codes: TST, DWL, and CON. For more information, see the examples below.

• A PIN code

  A PIN code may be required by the SMS modem. A separate PIN code can be set for software (in the field SMS Service PIN) and for configuration downloads (in the field OMA PIN).

Testing that you have the right phone number for the SMS server

1. Send the following SMS message to the number you believe belongs to the SMS modem:

   TST

If the phone number is correct, the server will reply with the message "This is a TEST reply".

Requesting a software download

1. Send an SMS to the server requesting a software download on the following form:

   DWL <SMS code> [PIN]

   The PIN code is only required if the SMS modem has been set up to require an SMS Service PIN.

The server will reply with an SMS and/or a WAP service message containing a temporary link to the requested software.

Requesting a phone configuration

1. Send an SMS to the server requesting a configuration download on the following form:

   CON <SMS code> [PIN]

   The PIN code is only required if the SMS modem has been set up to require an OMA PIN.

The server will reply with an SMS configuration message containing the requested configuration.

It is possible to send multiple requests in the same SMS - see the examples in the next section.
