Network Services Setup Chapter 2
SMS Configuration
If you intend to use a Short Message Service (SMS) gateway service to send text
messages to a mobile telephone or portable wireless device, use this procedure.
1. From the navigation pane, expand the Network Services Setup folder and
select SMS Configuration.
2. In the SMS GW Server field, type the email address of your SMS gateway
provider.
3. Type your account ID.
4. Type your user name and password.
5. Test this setup by using the Send an Email page, making the To: field the
phone number of the device to receive the message.
Send Email via a Logix Controller-initiated Message Instruction
A Logix controller can send a generic CIP message to the 1783-EMS switch
instructing it to send an email message to an SMTP email server. This is useful to
communicate Logix controller data, network alerts, and application conditions
to appropriate personnel. You need two controller-scoped string tags.
One tag contains the email text and the other contains the status of the email
transmission (the result code). These tags contain as many as 520 characters. You
must first create a user-defined STRING data type. The default STRING data
type is not large enough for most email text.
For example, create a STRING data type named EmailString. Next, create one
controller-scoped tag of this new data type to contain the email text named
IMPORTANT Most newer cell phones accept email directly. If your phone accepts
email, you do not need to use an SMS gateway service to get text
messages from the 1783-EMS switch. See your cell phone provider
website to get the email address of your cell phone.
