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 to a Windows PC. The depending messenger service must be enabled
