Creating a Broadcast Message for Future Use
In this example a school wants to be prepared to send a message that school is closed for the day. The
Administrator creates a Trigger Message word Snow and the following Broadcast Message: School is closed
today. This example assumes that a Group called Parents has been created and that SF 100 stands for the
Administrator's cell phone number.

Important Note:
numbers of these individuals should be entered exactly as how the Cellular Network presents
Sender Number information (usually that is with a + symbol followed by the country code and then
area code). Please see NOTE in the Address Book section of this guide. This allows authentication
to work properly by allowing the MultiModem iSMS box to successfully match the cell phone
number of a received trigger message with the phone number in the Authentic List.

To trigger the broadcasting of this message to the Parent group, the administrator sends the SMS
text message word Snow from his cell phone to the MultiModem iSMS. When the MultiModem
iSMS receives this message, it compares the Administrator's cell phone number with the
Authentication List and if they match, it broadcasts the message to everyone in the Parent group.
Enter Snow in the Trigger Message word box. Trigger message words or codes are not case-
sensitive.
Enter the Broadcast Message. In this case the message is School is closed today.
Select the Group that will receive this message. In this case the group is Parents.
Check the Authenticate box to indicate that this message can be sent by an authenticated user
