|
|
---
|
|
In order to install and deploy EnvayaSMS, you will need the following prerequisites:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>An Android phone (1.6 or higher), registered on a mobile network
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>A way for the phone to connect to the internet, either via Wi-Fi
|
|
or mobile data service<br />
|
|
(Even with Wi-Fi, mobile data service is necessary to receive MMS messages.)</li>
|
|
<li>A web server accessible from the public internet</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note: If you don't have an Android phone yet, you can <a href='/test/'>test EnvayaSMS on your computer</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
To install EnvayaSMS on an Android phone, open EnvayaSMS on Android Market by clicking the link below from your phone's browser, or scanning the barcode with a QR code app.<br />
|
|
|
|
<div style='float:left;padding-right:10px;padding-top:20px'>
|
|
<div style='font-size:16px;font-weight:bold; text-align:center'>
|
|
<a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=org.envaya.sms">Open Android Market</a>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=org.envaya.sms">
|
|
<img src='/media/qr.png' width='175' height='175' />
|
|
</a>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div style='float:left;padding-top:10px'>
|
|
<img src='/media/screenshot-market.png' style='border:1px solid black' width='440' height='218' />
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div style='clear:both;padding-top:10px'>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In order to download from Android Market, you will need a Google account and the Market app on your phone.
|
|
Alternatively, you can also install download EnvayaSMS directly from the link below:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<strong><a href='https://github.com/downloads/youngj/EnvayaSMS/EnvayaSMS-release.apk'>EnvayaSMS-release.apk</a></strong>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Software developers may also <a href="https://github.com/youngj/EnvayaSMS">download the source code from GitHub</a>
|
|
and build EnvayaSMS themselves.

<h2>Configuring EnvayaSMS</h2>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Server Configuration</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
It is assumed that your organization already has an HTTP server, or has the technical expertise to set up an HTTP server.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Follow the instructions in the <a href='/serverapi/'>API Reference</a> page to learn how to construct a
|
|
resource on your HTTP server that can communicate with EnvayaSMS.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Phone Configuration</h3>
|
|
|
|
<div style='float:right;padding-left:10px;padding-bottom:10px'>
|
|
<img src='/media/screenshot-settings.png' width='212' height='350' />
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
After your server is configured, configure EnvayaSMS on your phone to connect to your server as follows:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
<li>Open the EnvayaSMS app</li>
|
|
<li>Click the Menu button, then "Settings"</li>
|
|
<li>Configure EnvayaSMS to work with your server by entering:</li>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>your server URL</li>
|
|
<li>your phone number</li>
|
|
<li>the password shared with the server</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li>Choose an interval to poll for new outgoing messages</li>
|
|
<li><em>Recommended:</em> under Wi-Fi sleep policy, select "always stay connected".
|
|
(Otherwise, EnvayaSMS will be unable to forward messages after the phone goes to sleep.)
|
|
</li>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<li>Check "Enable EnvayaSMS"</li>
|
|
<li>Click the Back button to return to the main screen</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
To test if EnvayaSMS has been configured properly and can connect
|
|
to your server, open the EnvayaSMS app, click the Menu button,
|
|
then click "Test Connection".
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<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
|
|
and uncheck "Enable EnvayaSMS".</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you're testing EnvayaSMS with an Android phone that you're also using for normal communication,
|
|
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>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Each Expansion Pack allows EnvayaSMS to increase its sending limit by an additional 100 outgoing SMS messages
|
|
per hour. For example, if you install 8 expansion packs, EnvayaSMS will be able to send up to 900 outgoing SMS messages
|
|
per hour.

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