Operating devices with the 3G/4G WWAN module as an SMS gateway

When using Public Spot authentication via SMS (Smart Ticket), you have the option of sending access credentials via the 3G/4G WWAN module in a further device instead of using an external E-Mail2SMS gateway. To use this option, you must store the address and the access credentials for the 3G/4G device on the device that provides the Public Spot. In order to send the SMS, the Public Spot module logs on to the other device and uses a URL to initiate the transmission of the text message via the 3G/4G-WWAN module or SMS module in the other device.

This option is available on devices both with or without their own 3G/4G WWAN module. These options allow you to chain multiple devices together and to set up your own transmitting device if you operate multiple Public Spots or use a device without a 3G/4G WWAN module.

Start LANconfig and set up the SMS module on the 3G/4G device that is to serve as an SMS gateway (see Basic configuration of the SMS module). You also have to create an administrator without access rights (None) with the sole function right Send SMS.
Open the configuration dialog for the device that provides the Public Spot.
Navigate to the menu item Public Spot > SMS.
Activate the settings Send SMS via a GSM-enabled device and Send SMS from another device.
Enter the user name and password for the administrator on the other 3G/4G device under User name and password.
In the field Device IP, enter the IP address where the Public Spot is to reach the other 3G/4G device.
