Configuring the Outgoing SMS Gateway

To send SMS messages for login verification, password resetting, or alarm notifications, configure an outgoing SMS gateway.

Currently, you can select Built-in or Third-party SMS gateways. If you select Third-party, general SMS Gateway and Cloud SMS gateway are available.

Built-in: the default SMS gateway in the CBH system is used to send SMS messages.
Third-party: other SMS gateways. After entering values of URL and API Params, test whether the SMS service is proper.

This topic describes how to configure an outgoing SMS gateway.
