OZEKI SMS empowers you to send and
receive SMS from a personal computer through a GSM device attached to
the computer. The sending task could be performed by placing txt
files into a certain directory. Receiving can be done by reading
txt files from another directory in the file system.
If
you want to send and receive SMS this way, you should configure
the OZEKI SMS Server to place the incoming messages into the selected
directory and to check another directory periodically for messages to
send. The directory we use for receiving messages is called the
incoming directory, the one we use for sending messages is called the
outgoing directory.
When the directory settings are
configured, an appropriate txt file format should be
selected. The OZEKI SMS Server supports three kinds of file
formats. You should select the one that fits your needs the
most.
The three supported formats are:
simple, verbouse and list.
THE SIMPLE FILE
FORMAT
When you select the simple file format, each
incoming message is saved in a separate file. The name of the file is the
phone number and the first row of the file contains the
message. (Figure 1.) c:\smsout\+36203105366
Figure 1.
If you want to send messages using the simple file
format, you should create a separate textfile for each outgoing message
and place these files into the smsout
directory.
THE VERBOUSE FILE
FORMAT
The verbouse file format is similar to the
simple file format in a way that each message resides in a seperate file.
The difference is that it contains more detailed information about the SMS
messages. The main advantage of this file format is that more than one
message could be placed into the same directory with the same
destination.
If you want to send messages using this format,
make sure that the extension of the file name that is placed into the
outgoing directory is .sms and the file format is the following:
The first row of the file is the sender's phone number, the
second row contains receiver phone number and the message text
follows these in the next row. Take a look at
the example:
c:\smsout\valamilyennev.sms
c:\smsout\anyname.sms
+36203105366
+36209937723

THE LIST FILE
FORMAT
The list file format is a convenient way to
send and receive a large number of sms messages. In this case more
than one message is stored in the same file. The format of the file can be
seen below.
For outgoing messages you should create a text file,
where each line contains a message. The messages consist of a phone number
in international format and the message text. The phone number and the
message text is separated by a space character. When an outgoing file
is ready to be sent it should be placed into the smsout directory.
The name of the file should have the .sml extension. (sml stands for sms
list)
c:\smsout\lista.sml c:\smsout\list.sml

CONFIGURING THE OZEKI SMS
SERVER
In order to configure the OZEKI
SMS Server to use the directories and the file format you selected, you
should install the file sms gateway plugin. This
can be done by opening the Plugins menu and selecting the
Install plugins option.
When the plugin is
installed, you can configure it by clicking on the
Configure button. On the File
configuration form you should select the directories for
sending and receiving the messages. You
can select how often the server should check the outgoing directory and
you can specify which file format you would like to
use.
Before entering the paths on this form make sure the
selected directories exist.
After you
are done with all these settings, sms sending and receiving through files
can be enabled by selecting the appropriate checkboxes.
