The communication between the device and the server is vital. The device must know the path to the server in order to synchronize. The server path is usually sent from the server to the device the first time DME is installed on the device. With this function, you can send an SMS message to selected devices containing the server path.
Note that the screen looks different if you choose this function from the Provisioning tab or the Device setup panel, but the functionality is the same.
To send the server path to one or more devices, select the device(s) in the list first and then click Send server path. If the device or devices are not yet created in DME and thus do not exist in the Devices list, you can add more devices to the list by entering their phone numbers in the Phone number field and clicking the > arrow. Enter one or more phone numbers. The international calling code preceded by a + is mandatory. If you do not enter a calling code yourself, DME inserts the code defined in the field Phone country code in the SMS modem setup page (see SMS modem). To remove a device from the list, select it, and click the < arrow.
Then click Send server path. The device(s) will now receive an SMS with the server path and phone number. If the DME client is running on the device, the user will be asked if he or she wishes to apply the server path. If the DME client is not running, the user should leave the SMS in the Messaging inbox until the client starts.
Note that the server path setting should be locked on the devices. Therefore you will usually have to unlock the setting Server path in General settings before sending the server path to devices.
In order to send the server path to an iOS device, which is not yet created in the Devices list, you must mark the field Use iPhone format. This will format the SMS in a special way, and the SMS can then only be used by iPhone devices.
