7. Alerts, Auto-Response and Logging 7.5.2 Send SMS Alerts With any model console server, you can use email-to-SMS services to send SMS alert notifications to mobile devices. Almost all mobile phone carriers provide an SMS gateway service that forwards email to mobile phones on their networks. A wide selection of SMS gateway aggregators provide email to SMS forwarding to phones on any carrier. Alternately, if your console server has an embedded or externally attached cellular modem, you will be given the option to send the SMS directly over the carrier connection. SMS via Email Gateway To use SMTP SMS, the Administrator must configure a valid SMTP server for sending the email: • In the SMTP Settings field in the Alerts & Logging: SMTP & SMS menu, select SMS Gateway. An SMS via Email Gateway field will appear. • Enter the IP address of the outgoing mail Server SMS gateway. • Select a Secure Connection (if applicable) and specify the SMTP port to be used (if other than the default port 25). • You may also enter a Sender email address which will appear as the "from" address in all email notifications sent from this console server. Some SMS gateway service providers only forward email to SMS when the email has been received from authorized senders. You may need to assign a specific authorized email address for the console server. • You may also enter a Username and Password, as some SMS gateway service providers use SMTP servers that require authentication. • Similarly, you can specify the specific Subject Line that will be sent with the email. Generally, the email subject will contain a truncated version of the alert notification message (which is contained in full in the body of the email). Some SMS gateway service providers require blank subjects or require specific authentication headers to be included in the subject line • Click Apply Settings to activate SMS SMTP connection. 143
