SMS Reception Center: User's Guide

SMS Reception Center is a program that reads incoming short messages from a cellular phone and, for each message, executes the actions that you specified. Unlike other popular desktop SMS utilities, its main purpose is to handle incoming messages and send outgoing ones without any human intervention. Usually it's set up at the computer with a dedicated cellular phone or a GSM modem plugged in.


When you start SMS Reception Center, the first thing that you see is the editor. Now you can begin to write rules defining what will be done with incoming messages. When it's done you can save the rules to a file. When the rules are ready, you have to run the service that will actually connect to your phone (modem) and process messages. You can do it from the editor's menu.


The service is able to run in one of two modes:

The main editor's window contains a list of rules that you have defined. You may create a new rule either with Edit->Insert in the main menu or with a context menu that will appear when you click on the list with the right mouse button. You may start editing an existing rule by double-clicking on the list element.


When a message arrives, the rules are applied in sequence. Each rule can use some predefined variables as parameters, and some rule types can define new variables. There may be a condition for each rule, determining when this rule is applied and when it's skipped.


The following actions are supported so far:


When you begin to edit a rule, a dialog box appears where you can type in a rule's parameters. Some elements of this dialog box have context menu: when you click on such an element with the right mouse button, you can see the menu containing all the variables defined so far. The reference to the chosen variable (in the form of [%variable-name%]) is inserted into the field that you're editing. When this rule is used to process incoming message, all these references are replaced with current values of referenced variables. For each particular parameter, you can always know if variable references are allowed in it: if the appropriate dialog box element has a context menu, they are.
