Sms enabling support

Enabling SMS support within a Digi cellular product

By default, SMS support is disabled. You also need a cellular data plan with SMS support added - most machine-to-machine data plans do not include SMS support.

Support for SMS has been added to the 2.9.x firmware release for NDS. See also Wiki Page: What is Your Product Firmware Level?

By web interface

Select the Mobile | Short Message Service (SMS) Settings. This link will be missing if:

• The firmware is older than 2.9.0 See Wiki Page: What is your product firmware level?
• The cellular module is not supported yet (or lacks SMS ability).
• There is not cellular module installed, or the one installed is not functioning

To enable SMS for Python

• Click the check box to Enable SMS support for Python.

Enabling 'Dia Data' upload by SMS to iDigi

The iDigi/Dia Python framework can upload data via SMS and Satellite. Although the transport format is drastically different from the normal HTTP/XML format, then end result within iDigi looks the same.

Adding iDigi subscription

By web interface

For your data to reach iDigi you need to enter the correct phone number and 'Service Identifier' codes. By default, a new Digi device should default to correctly send data to an iDigi production account (aka: my.idigi.com). However, to send a developer.idigi.com account you need to change the Service Identifier:

• my.idigi.com (production) Phone Number = 32075, Service Identifier = idgp
• developer.idigi.com : Phone Number = 32075, Service Identifier = idgp
