Configuring the Outgoing SMS Gateway

SMS messages are mainly used to:

  • Receive the mobile phone verification code for login authentication.
  • Reset the password.
  • Receive alarm messages. For details about the alarm scope, see Alarm.

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.

  • If you do not need to push system alarms or send and receive SMS messages to mobile numbers outside the Chinese mainland, you can configure the SMS gateway by referring to Built-in SMS gateway.
  • If you need to receive system alarms or send and receive SMS messages to mobile numbers outside the Chinese mainland, configure the SMS gateway by referring to General Third-party SMS Gateway.
