Configuration through the web interface

115

 Default Message Receiver: When a message is received via SMS, the

Default Message Receiver is used to determine which SMS “user” will receive the

message and process it. This handling pertains to messages that are not enabled

commands for which command processing is performed. The choices for this option are:

– Log Only: The received message is logged but otherwise not processed (default

option).

– Python: The received message is passed to the standard Python receiver. Further

processing of the message text is the responsibility of the Python program that is

implemented to receive SMS messages. Note that these messages are logged when they

are placed on the Python read queue.

 Enable extended detail for SMS event logging (verbose): The SMS feature normally

records limited, relevant activities to the system event log. These log entries identify

SMS initialization, reconfiguration, and message send/receive activities. For

troubleshooting purposes, the message send and receive activity logging can be

recorded in greater detail by enabling this option. However, this can result in filling the

event log with more SMS activity records than are useful for normal operation, and it is

recommended that this option should be enabled only if greater detail is required for

some interval of time. This option is disabled (off) by default.

Python settings

Python-related settings for the SMS feature include:

 Enable SMS support for Python: Enable SMS features for Python on this Digi device.

When this option is enabled, the remaining Python-specific SMS options may be

configured. This option is enabled (on) by default.

 Received Message Queue Maximum: The number of received messages that may be

placed on the dedicated Python SMS message read queue awaiting processing by

Python. Once this limit is reached, new received messages are logged but discarded

until the read queue falls below this configured maximum message count. The default

value for this setting is 100 messages.

 Received Message Hold Time Maximum: The maximum amount of time in seconds

that a received message will be held on the dedicated Python SMS message read queue

while waiting for Python SMS message processing to be brought into service. This

setting allows messages to be received and queued for Python before the Python

program that processes them is ready to receive such messages, thereby eliminating loss

of messages that are received before the Python program is ready to handle them. The

default value for this setting is 600 seconds (10 minutes).

 Python SMS Password: Although this use is not typical, a message may be directed for

deliver to Python by sending “#python” as a command to this Digi device. In such a

case, this Python password may be configured to validate the acceptance of such a

command message before it is accepted and placed on the dedicated Python SMS

message read queue for further processing. When Python is configured as the

Default Message Receiver, it is not necessary to use the Digi device command message

syntax, since all otherwise unhandled messages will be delivered to the Python read

queue. However, password validation is not performed for non-command messages.

This option is disabled (no Python password required) by default. To remove the

password, simply clear the password field on the settings page.
