The SMS Network Service Provider supports notification using the Short Message Service (SMS) protocol. Messages are delivered to the carrier over a network connection.
To deliver SMS messages, adTempus must connect to an SMS server. Two kinds of servers are available:
Your company may operate or subscribe to an SMS gateway service. The gateway accepts SMS messages and automatically routes them to the proper carrier for delivery to the device. That is, messages for both your SkyTel pager and you Cingular cell phone can go to the same gateway.
The carrier may provide public access to its SMS server, allowing adTempus to connect directly to it. When you use this option, messages for each device must be sent by adTempus directly to the SMS server for the company that provides service for the device. That is, messages intended for your SkyTel pager must be delivered to the SkyTel SMS server; messages intended for your Cingular cell phone must be delivered to the Cingular SMS server.
To configure the service provider, you will need to know the network address that adTempus should connect to, and any user information needed to connect to the server.
If you are using a gateway service, check with that service for more information.
If you want to connect directly to the carrier, you will need to check with the carrier for the connection information. adTempus has a list of carriers whose public servers we know about; you can check to see if your carrier is on that list by using the Import Settings... button.
