Provision Sms

To use SMS with a device, Remote Manager needs the telephone number of the device. Typically, when a registered device connects for the first time, the telephone number is read from the device and automatically provisioned. However, there are cases where auto-provisioning does not occur. For example, a device connects for the first time and cellular is not yet configured or a device is provisioned before connecting to Remote Manager. In these cases, you must manually provision the device with the telephone number.

To provision the telephone number for a Remote Manager-registered device, the telephone number must be added to an entry in the NetworkInterface that represents a SIM installed on the device. To provision a device, follow these general steps:

Step1: Retrieve the telephone number from a device

Step 2: Find the NetworkInterface record for the device

Step 3: Update NetworkInterface record

Step 4: Configure phone number without an existing NetworkInterface record
