Introduction
System overview The SMS Bridge provides an economical means of transmitting reefer monitoring
data to the YORK Global Monitoring Server (GMS). Instead of sending SMS
messages directly to the GMS server in Denmark, your monitoring systems send
them to the SMS Bridge. The SMS Bridge relays the messages to the GMS server
via the Internet, reducing the cost of data transmission.
The SMS Bridge is intended for use with the YORK RefLine and RefBox reefer
monitoring systems. It consists of a GSM modem and a software application for a
Windows 2000 or XP PC.

Requirements
Computer The SMS Bridge runs on Windows 2000 and XP personal computers. The computer
must have an RS-232 serial (COM) port for connection of the GSM modem or a
serial port adaptor.
GSM service The SMS Bridge receives data over the GSM mobile phone network via SMS text
messages. This requires a GSM account and SIM card (not included).
More information about the GSM system, including coverage maps, is available from
www.gsmworld.com. To obtain GSM service, consult with a local GSM mobile phone
provider.
Note: Verify that the GSM provider supports text messaging through “circuit-
switched” core network services rather than “packet switched” services.
Internet
connection
The SMS Bridge requires an ISDN or faster connection to the Internet. If the Internet
connection is not “always on”, it must be capable of automatic log on.
E-mail account
on SMTP server
An e-mail address is required by the MailHandler service to send system messages.
This function is an optional convenience and not required for data relay.
Note: The current version of the SMS Bridge does not support password
authentication. The MailHandler service does not work if your SMTP email server
requires authentication to send outgoing mail.
