Getting started with the AT&T GSM app is very simple. You need to perform below three steps to be able to start sending IP-based secure AT&T GSM messages.
Users for AT&T Gloabl Smart Messaging are managed through the standard AT&T Global Smart Messaging Suite powered by Soprano user management system. Please refer to the Manage Users topic.
In addition to standard functionality, administrators are also able to pre-provision a key a for the user to enter when they are activating their AT&T GSM mobile app. Pre-registering a user with an email key allows a customer administrator to pre-allocate a public key for a user's phone. This can be used to streamline the setup process for new users (they can copy and paste the key into the app instead of having to request one from the server via SMS) and can be used to remove the need for the registration SMS to be sent from the user's device.
Note: Pre-registering the user is an optional step.
Steps 1. You can pre-register a user at the time of their creation. Go to Company Setup > Manage Users > Users.
2. Click
3. Go to the License Details tab and click the Pre-Provision GAMMA Key check box.
