Configure a GSM Modem Driver

  1. In the System Browser, select the GSM Modem driver and click the Driver Editor tab.
  1. (Optional) In the Driver Settings expander.
  1. In the Configuration Properties expander, proceed as follows:
  • In the Device Request Timeout field, enter 10000 (value in milliseconds).
  • In the Check Status Rate field, enter 30000 (value in milliseconds).
  1. In the Notification Integration expander, proceed as follows:
  • In the Batch Size field, set the value as 10 (default is 100). Batch size specifies the size in which the request is processed by the driver. The batch size displays the number of devices to which Notification interacts in one instant. For example, if there are 100 devices on which a message has to be displayed and a batch size of 10 is entered, Notification will send the message to batches of 10 devices each.
  • Enter a value into the Expected delivery time field (default is 5 seconds).
    NOTE: Notification does not guarantee the message delivery will be completed within the time entered in the Expected delivery Time field. This value is solely used to compute delivery statistics indicating whether message delivery to the GSM Modem server was on-time or late.
    On-Time or Late displays are based on the time it takes for Notification to deliver the message to the GSM Modem server. Not the time it takes to deliver the message to the actual recipient.
  • Enter a value into the Input Messages Polling Interval field (default is 5 seconds).
  • In the Acknowledgment reply action field, specify the optional action text to be appended with the notification message in different languages. Recipient users can acknowledge these messages using the id that is generated and displays along with the notification text. For example, to send the following notification message to an English user, "Fire in Second Floor, Room 203" and seek confirmation, enter the following text in the en-US field in the Acknowledgement reply action field "Reply {} to acknowledge and confirm.". In this case, the recipient will receive the following message, “Fire in Second Floor, Room 203. Reply XXX to acknowledge and confirm”. The {} is replaced with a numeric Reply ID. The recipient can send an acknowledgement to the received message using the reply id. In order to generate a reply ID for the corresponding message, ensure that the Acknowledgement reply action field has any one of the following characters within the curly braces, {}, {id}, {ID}, or {0}. For example, Reply {}, Respond {id}. If you do not specify any text in the Acknowledgment reply action field, then the text "Reply with {id}" is appended to the notification message and sent to the receiver. {id} is replaced with a numeric id.
