Overview of notification
The notification part covers the following items.
•
The SMTP destinations refer to the notification based upon e-mail
by means of SMTP protocol. SMTP destinations requires an e-mail
server infrastructure that is configured to support inbound SMTP
connections originated from the eFR module. Depending on the e-mail
infrastructure, you may need to configure the e-mail server to enable
SMTP, allow inbound SMTP connections from the IP address where
eFR runs, and allow relaying of e-mail request to defined destinations.
You can configure the SMTP notification to send notification messages
when changes occur in the state of monitoring items, such as DISK,
NETSTAT, PING, start of error condition, and resume of normal
condition.
• The SNMP destinations refer to notification based upon the SNMP
protocol. In SNMP destinations, SNMPv1 traps can be sent based
upon the UDP protocol stack. Since UDP protocol is datagram
oriented, SNMPv1 traps can be sent even if the SNMP receiver
infrastructure is not in place on the destination system. When the
SNMP receiver infrastructure is not in place on the destination system,
the trap is unprocessed. The intended use is oriented towards an
infrastructure capable of receiving SNMPv1 traps and performing
further actions.
— The DECT Messenger suite features a module eSNMP that is
optimized for this functionality. DECT Messenger can receive the
SNMPv1 trap and reliably process it, through several notification
channels, including DECT Messaging, SMS messaging, Interactive
Voice Response, discrete contacts, e-mail, and so on. In addition,
the software allows detecting if message reaches its destination
and optionally needs end-user confirmation. DECT Messenger can
retry and escalate to alternative destinations.
•
The SMS destinations refer to notification based upon SMS messaging
to mobile phones.
— SMS destinations requires at least the SMS_service engine
and a supported GSM box with a SIM card. You can add SMS
destinations with such an infrastructure to run in stand-alone mode,
or as part of an existing DECT Messenger infrastructure.
• NET destinations refer to the notification based upon named pipes
transport towards the messenger service that is part of the Windows
operating system.
— The functionality of NET destinations is similar to the NET
SEND command found in the Windows operating system. NET
destinations allows you to send a Windows pop-up message
