SMS Messaging on the XL Series OCS

Objective
The objective of this application bulletin is to provide the necessary steps on how to implement
SMS messaging on the XL series product line. To achieve this functionality, the XLe will be using
the internal GSM modem (HE-GSM04). External GSM modems can also be used to achieve this
functionality. Although an XLe is used in this bulletin, any XL series OCS could be used.
This application bulletin uses the Outgoing Messaging and Incoming Messaging features of the
XLe.

Outgoing messaging allows the XLe to broadcast a SMS message with embedded data to an external device like a cell phone or another SMS compatible device.

Incoming messaging allows the XLe to receive messages from other SMS compatible devices. The incoming messages can contain embedded data allowing registers to be updated remotely.
