Remote management only works in the operating mode: Mobile Network. To access it, go to Menu/Settings/Operating Mode/Mobile Network/Remote Control.
This feature is characterized by the phone being controllable remotely by numbers that have been previously authorized. To set this up, go to Menu/Settings/Operating Mode/Mobile Network/Remote Control/Authorized Numbers.
The permitted remote functions are:
- Remote reboot
- Remote management of the address book
- Remote access for one-touch/long-press dialing/Hold, transfer, conference, and pickup keys.
So, upon receiving an SMS with a predefined code, the phone identifies the action, verifies if the number is authorized, and executes it when no call is in progress. A message is then shown to the user indicating the action to be performed. And a response SMS is sent to the sender of the remote action to inform them of the success or failure and the details:
- "Update successful"
- "Permission denied"
- "Download failed"
- "Update failed"
1. Remote reboot: *RM#1#. After receiving this code, the phone will turn off and on again.
2. Remote address book management: *RM#2#xxxxx#, where xxxxx is the URL where the file with the information can be found. The device establishes a data connection and downloads the file from that URL. The format can be a CSV file. If the device already has contacts (previously configured), it must update only the new or different ones, or completely delete the old local phonebook and re-add all contacts from the CSV file.
3. Remote one-touch access: *RM#3#xxxxx#, where xxxxx is the URL where the file with the information can be found. The device establishes a data connection and downloads the file from that URL. The format can be a CSV file. If the new number was stored or updated remotely via SMS in the local phonebook, the name will be displayed; if it is not in the local phonebook, M1-M10 will be displayed.
Remote long-press dialing: *RM#4#xxxxx#, where xxxxx is the URL where the file with the information can be found. The device establishes a data connection and downloads the file from that URL. The format can be a CSV file.
Remote hold, transfer, conference, and pickup keys: *RM#5# xxxxx#, where xxxxx is the URL where the file with the information can be found.
