Specify the name or address and port number for the SMS server. Enter the System Type if specified by the provider.
User ID
Specify the user ID/caller ID used when connecting to the SMS server.

Maximum Message Length
Most SMS providers specify a limit for the length of messages. Messages that exceed the limit may be rejected. Specify the maximum here, and adTempus will truncate messages that exceed the length.
Automatically split messages that exceed the maximum
When this option is checked, adTempus will split notification messages that exceed the maximum length into separate messages, each shorter than the limit. This allows adTempus to deliver the complete notification message to your SMS device, as a series of messages.
You can set an absolute maximum length for messages by using the limit on the Notification Address.
