About SMS Credits Most SMS providers use a system of credits when for sending messages. In Dell Networking W-ClearPass Guest SMS Services, one credit is used for each sent message.

To determine the number of remaining SMS credits, navigate to the Administration > SMS Gateways window. The Credits Available field indicates the number of remaining SMS credits for your account. This value is determined once the first message has been sent, and is updated after sending each message. When credits are running low, a warning message is emailed to the administrator group. The email address is determined by looking up all local operators with the special IT Administrators operator profile, and using any configured email address for those operators. Up to three messages will be sent: l A low-credit warning is sent once the "Credits Available" value reaches the warning threshold (the default value is 50). l A second low-credit warning is sent once the "Credits Available" value reaches half the warning threshold. l A final message is sent once the "Credits Available" value reaches zero. NOTE: To adjust the warning threshold, set the Credit Warning value in the configuration for the SMS Services Plugin. About SMS Guest Account Receipts You can send SMS receipts for guest accounts that are created using either sponsored guest access or self-provisioned guest access. This is convenient in situations where the visitor may not be physically present to receive a printed receipt. Dell Networking W-ClearPass Guest 6.0 | Deployment Guide About SMS Credits | 233
