Setup and connect the GSM device

Before starting to install the Ozeki SMS application you need to make some initial settings on your GSM device:


- All the PIN codes and security locks should be switched off
- The voice and data calls should be redirected to another phone number
- All SMS messages stored in the phone or the SIM card should be deleted
- The phone number of SMS Service Center should be set

When you finished all the settings you need to test your phone by sending SMS messages manually.

As the next step you have to attach your device to the PC with a phone-to-pc data cable as it can be seen on Figure 1.

If you are in a situation, where IR is you choice, to use Infrared (IR),you must enable your infrared port on the phone. (Sometimes you have to turn it on in the PC as well). When this is done, you should place the phone within the range of the IR receiver on the PC. When the PC and the phone begin to communicate over IR, you will see an icon in the bottom right hand side of the screen (Figure 2).
