MS is not received from a sender on the white list when the white list is defined see the WebUI security remote SMS feature page section then the SMS is discarded with no response The white list is a list of subscriber numbers that are authorised to send commands to the UT to prevent unauthorised access to the UT When SMS messages are received regardless of type they are stored in the SIM They are then processed and depending on the message type or status they may be deleted For the 9502 if the first 4 characters of an SMS match any of the commands above including case it will be treated as a command message and will be deleted from the SIM after processing To ensure sufficient space in the SIM to receive command messages when processing any SMS if there are less than 5 slots available in the SIM the new SMS will be deleted regardless of its type SMS activate deactivate messages If an ACTIVATE SMS message is sent to a terminal and a PDP context is already active on the target units PC of interest that existing PDP context will be used and the ACTIVATE SMS will be discarded and no error will be reported back via SMS The graceful way of handling a re activation request remotely is to first send a DEACTIVATE SMS wait few minutes and then send an ACTIVATE SMS with the updated QoS if required Due to inherent limitations in the Satellite Gateways and the SMS protocol the Remote SMS commands and response SMS message
