Description:
This article describes how to modify configuration settings in the device remotely using SMS commands.
Please note that some aspects of the configuration cannot be changed by SMS:
Necessary tools:
Application | Download link |
Device Center (Advanced Configurator) |
Steps:
Note: For this method to work, the device needs to have enabled "Enable configuration over SMS"
1- Open Device Center.
2- Go to Advanced mode:
3- Go to File and Open CFG. Load the same configuration file from the device you want to modify. If you don't have it, just open a random configuration file from your device type (that has settings different than the ones you want to input).
4- Modify the parameters you wish. Note: if you don't modify them the change will not be contained in the setcfg command.
(in this case we set Time with engine to 30s as an example):
5- Go to File and click on Generate SMS.
6- Input the SMS password if the target device has one.
7- Copy the message and send it to the target device.
Result:
If the configuration was modified successfully, you will get the answer: “Configuration parameter(s) was set!”
