Delivery Methods
HTTP / HTTPS
The Datastream will encapsulate an SXL1 message in the XML format described above and POST
the data to an HTTP/HTTPS server. A list of IP addresses will be provided to the VAR such that
appropriate firewall rules may be established. HTTP Basic Authentication
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt) is available upon request. The Content-Type will be text/xml with
no URL or other encoding. For an HTTP Post, the receipt of an acknowledgement (HTML Code in
the 200’s) is all that is necessary for FELIX to consider the transmission a success.
SMTP (E-Mail)
The Datastream will encapsulate a message in a Tracker Message XML document in the body of an
email and will be delivered to the address or addresses specified in the VAR’s FELIX Software
Administration website. Multiple addresses can be specified by delimiting the address with the
semicolon character, e.g. "[e-mail];[e-mail]". The subject of the email will be
"Numerex Alert" and the sender will be "[e-mail]." Any message sent to this address
will be ignored.
SFTP
The Datastream will encapsulate a message in a Tracker Message XML document and upload the
file with the filename format of: ESN-UnixTimeStamp.xml (e.g. 0-123456-1196961753.xml) to a
specified server. A user name and password will be required for this method. Please note that
Numerex cannot be held responsible for the security of the login credentials and it is highly
recommended to use a "chrooted" environment or a virtualized server to consume SFTP data. For
more information on these methods, please refer to the system administrator.
