Requirements
In order to use the FAXmaker SMS service, you must have:
1. GFI FAXmaker installed and configured for SMS messaging. For more information on how to
configure the SMS gateway on GFI FAXmaker refer to „The SMS Gateway‟ chapter of the GFI
FAXmaker manual. You can download the GFI FAXmaker manual from
http://www.gfi.com/downloads/downloads.aspx?pid=FAX&lid=en
2. A supported GSM phone/modem connected to the GFI FAXmaker fax server computer or a
subscription to a supported web-based SMS provider.
Configuring the FAXmaker SMS service
To configure the FAXmaker SMS Service:
1. Right click on the „Alerting Options‟ node and select „Properties‟.
2. Click on the „SMS‟ tab and from the SMS System dropdown, select „FAXmaker SMS Service
provider template‟.
3. Double click on the property which you want to configure (e.g., SMTP server) and specify the
relative parameters in the Edit Property dialog.
The FAXmaker SMS Service requires the following parameters:
» SMTP server – Specify the name of the SMTP server through which GFI Network Server
Monitor will send the template email to GFI FAXmaker.
» SMTP port – Specify the SMTP port through which the transmission will take place. By
default this parameter is set to 25 (i.e., default SMTP port).
» From – Specify the account from where the template email will be sent. Format this
parameter as follows: <name>@<mydomain.com>
» To – (Leave as default) This is the email address on which GFI FAXmaker will receive the
template emails to be converted to SMS (i.e., [smsnumber]@smsmaker.com). This
parameter includes variable [smsnumber] which is substituted to the number of the SMS
recipient when the template email is generated. For example, if an SMS must be sent to
a recipient with number 88885555, the email is sent on [e-mail]. GFI
FAXmaker will then send the SMS on the number specified in the email address.
» Subject* - (Optional parameter) Specify the text which you want to include in the
template email‟s subject field.
4. In the „Retries‟ entry box, specify the number of times that the FAXmaker SMS service will try
to send an SMS alert should the first attempt fail.
5. Click on „OK‟ to save your configuration settings.
