The SMS (Short Message Service) protocol is the messaging protocol used for most text pagers, cell phones, PDAs, and other mobile messaging devices.
To send a message to such a device, adTempus must connect to a service provider (or gateway). Therefore, before you can set up a notification recipient that uses such a device, you must define the service provider.
Find the gateway or service provider configuration information. Your company may operate or subscribe to an SMS gateway service that can automatically dispatch messages to the proper carrier for delivery. If so, check with the system administrator for the configuration information you will need to connect to this gateway.
Otherwise, you may be able to connect directly to a gateway operated by the company that services the device. For example, if you need to notify a SkyTel pager, you will use SkyTel's SMS gateway server. You will need to contact the carrier to obtain the information you need to configure the service provider in adTempus. Generally the carrier's Web site will have a section for application developers that contains this information.

adTempus is installed with a list of many known service providers and can configure itself automatically based on this list. When you create the Service Provider (see following step), click the Import button to view a list of known providers. |
Set up a Service Provider in adTempus. This is done from the Notification Service Providers page of the Notification Options window. Select the "Pager or SMS device using network connection" option. You will then see the SMS Network Service Provider window.
