Do you know that you can control the Ares unit SMS commands remotely?
Would you like to see some examples of the SMS commands which you can use?
Check out the examples below:
1234 is the default password. Input caption text here.
You have to use it if your number is not listed as one of the 5 SMS recipients.
In case you are not using the default password, it must be only a single-word password (cannot contain any spaces).
• Status or Status SMS – sends a text message with the current status.
• Status Email – sends an e-mail with the current status.
• Reset or Reboot – restarts the Ares unit.

the configured address. Full URL can be included in the message.
• Push – sends test PUSH to the address set in AresConf.
The returned value contains the sent information.
