File SMS source

The type "File" of the SMS source retrieves the short messages to send from a file. The file must have the following XML format:

    <messages>
      <message msisdn="..." [flash="true"] [url="..."] [report="true"]>Message text</message>
      <message msisdn="..." [flash="true"] [url="..."] [report="true"]>Message text</message>
      ...
    </messages>

During the file reading, it is locked by Headwind GSM Modem Driver to avoid concurrent access between several processes. After the file is read, Headwind GSM Modem Driver clears its contents to avoid duplicate SMS posting.

To add a file SMS source, click "Add" in the "Sources" tab and select "File". To setup a source, choose the name, the file location (or use the "Browse" button), and the period of polling in seconds.
