How IT Professionals Use the Software

Ozeki SMS is a computer program with an open architecture. It can be attached to existing business applications or it can be used on its own. Ozeki SMS was developed to make it easier to send information to mobile phones both automatically and manually. The offered interfaces make it possible to use it from any software system and programming language. It supports software developers using different environments.

SQL-SMS gateway

One of the most popular scenario of usage requires a GSM Mobile phone and an SQL database server. In this case the user connects the GSM phone to his PC with a serial (or USB) data cable. After this is done he creates two database tables in his database. One of the tables called ozekimessageout will be used for sending and the other called ozekimessagein will be used for receiving. He then configures Ozeki Message Server 6 to do the message routing between the database tables and the GSM Mobile phone. After the configuration is done the user can send a message by simply inserting a record into the ozekismsout database table. If an incoming message arrives it is automatically saved into the ozekismsin table.

HTTP event notification

System administrator often uses Ozeki Message Server to monitor the activity of their IT network. The typical way they do this is that they create small scripts for system monitoring and use an HTTP Client (command line tool), such as wget on Linux to send SMS messages when the server behaves unexpectedly. The HTTP client makes and HTTP GET request to the SMS server. The request contains all the information including the recipient's telephone number and the message text. The Ozeki Message Server uses this information to send the appropriate SMS message.
