In this chapter you can learn about how to send and receive SMS messages using an Informix database server with your Ozeki Phone System XE. In this guide you can get information about the installation steps, the database connection string, the database connection type and the database table layout for Informix database server.

In order to send or receive SMS messages using a Informix database server, you need to following the instructions.

During the configuration you should choose the following database connection type:

OleDb

You should use the next database connection string:

Provider=Ifxoledbc.2;password=pppppp;User ID=uuuuuu;Data Source=opcrts@alpha;Persist Security Info=true

The database connection string has to be modified to match your database.

The connection string and the connection type should be entered on the SQL SMS API configuration form.

Figure 6 shows the SQL queries that will send the SMS messages from your database.

After the SQL SMS API has been configured in the Ozeki Phone System XE, you need to create the database tables for SQL SMS API. Use the following table layout: 

-- -----------------------------------------------------
-- Table `OzekiPBX`.`ozpbxmessageout`
-- -----------------------------------------------------
CREATE TABLE ozpbxmessageout
(
	id serial PRIMARY KEY, 
	sender varchar(30) NULL,
	receiver varchar(30) NULL,
	msg text NULL,
	senttime varchar(100) NULL,
	receivedtime varchar(100) NULL,
	reference varchar(100) NULL,
	status varchar(20) NULL,
	msgtype varchar(160) NULL,
	operator varchar(100) NULL,
	errormsg varchar(250) NULL
)

-- -----------------------------------------------------
-- Table `OzekiPBX`.`ozpbxmessagein`
-- -----------------------------------------------------
CREATE TABLE ozpbxmessagein
(
	id serial PRIMARY KEY,
	sender varchar(30) NULL,
	receiver varchar(30) NULL,
	msg text NULL,
	senttime varchar(100) NULL,
	receivedtime varchar(100) NULL,
	extension varchar(100) NULL
