SMS handlers

List of handlers

Every incoming SMS may be handled automatically by Headwind GSM modem driver. There are two types of SMS handlers. Command-line handler is the program started from a command line. It gets the contents and the sender address of an incoming SMS from the command-line parameters. The command-line handler may be used, for example, for the remote management of the computer. COM handler can be registered by any Windows application using the COM interface of Headwind GSM modem driver.

To open the list of incoming SMS handlers, double-click the Headwind GSM modem driver icon and select the "Handlers" tab in the control panel. This tab contains a list of currently used handlers. You can add, edit or remove them by using the buttons to the left of the list. Please note that you can add or modify only command-line handlers, because COM handlers are registered and unregistered by Windows applications.

Add handler

To add a command-line handler, open the list of handlers (see above) and click "Add". The "Add handler" dialog will be opened. Every handler has its name, filter for the contents and filter to the sender. Every filter is a substring which is searched for in the contents or the sender of an incoming SMS.

The command line is set in the appropriate field. You can browse for a command by clicking a button to the right from the edit box. You can use templates _FROM_, _TO_ and _BODY_ in the command line, which are replaced by sender address, recipient address and message contents. The directory in which the command is executed can be also set. If the directory edit box is empty, the command is executed in the default directory.
