It is assumed that your organization already has an HTTP server, or has the technical expertise to set up an HTTP server.

<li>Configure EnvayaSMS to work with your server by entering:</li>

|

<ul>

<li>Choose an interval to poll for new outgoing messages</li>
|
2011-09-19 17:25:28 +00:00

|
|
<li><em>Recommended:</em> under Wi-Fi sleep policy, select "always stay connected".
|
2011-09-23 00:25:32 +00:00
|
|
|
(Otherwise, EnvayaSMS will be unable to forward messages after the phone goes to sleep.)
|
2011-09-19 17:25:28 +00:00
|
|
|
</li>
|
2011-10-01 22:47:55 +00:00
|
|
|
<li><em>Optional:</em> enable Network Failover so that the phone will automatically switch
|
|
|
|
|
to mobile data if the Wi-Fi network stops working.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
2011-09-23 00:25:32 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>Check "Enable EnvayaSMS"</li>
|
2011-09-19 03:45:09 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>Click the Back button to return to the main screen</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
2011-09-23 00:25:32 +00:00
|
|
|
To test if EnvayaSMS has been configured properly and can connect
|
|
|
|
|
to your server, open the EnvayaSMS app, click the Menu button,
|
2011-09-19 03:45:09 +00:00
|
|
|
then click "Test Connection".
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
2011-09-23 00:25:32 +00:00
|
|
|
<strong>Important:</strong> After EnvayaSMS is enabled, it will forward all SMS messages regardless of whether the
|
|
|
|
|
EnvayaSMS app is open. If you want to use SMS normally again, return to EnvayaSMS' settings screen
|
2011-10-01 22:47:55 +00:00
|
|
|
and uncheck "Enable EnvayaSMS".</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If you're testing EnvayaSMS with an Android phone that you're also using for normal communication,
|
2011-10-02 02:00:24 +00:00
|
|
|
you can enable "Test mode" on the settings screen. When Test mode is enabled, EnvayaSMS will only handle SMS messages
|
|
|
|
|
from the phone numbers you specify.</p>

<h3 id='expansion'>Installing Expansion Packs</h3>

2011-09-19 03:45:09 +00:00

|
|
|
|
<p>
|
2011-09-23 00:25:32 +00:00
|
|
|
By default, Android prevents EnvayaSMS from sending more than 100 outgoing SMS messages per hour.
|
|
|
|
|
However, that limit can be increased by installing EnvayaSMS Expansion Packs.
|
2011-09-19 03:45:09 +00:00
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
2011-09-23 00:25:32 +00:00
|
|
|
Each Expansion Pack allows EnvayaSMS to increase its sending limit by an additional 100 outgoing SMS messages
|
2012-11-14 02:02:40 +00:00
|
|
|
per hour. For example, if you install 4 expansion packs, EnvayaSMS will be able to send up to 500 outgoing SMS messages
|
2011-09-19 03:45:09 +00:00
|
|
|
per hour.

With Expansion Packs, EnvayaSMS is limited only by how fast your phone can send and receive SMS (likely about 1000 messages/hour),
|
2011-09-19 03:45:09 +00:00
|
|
|
and by your mobile provider's usage limits and terms of service.
