SMS Notification Profile

The SMS Notification Module allows you to deliver SMS alarm notifications via an Airlink Raven XE cellular modem configured with a SIM card belonging to an active cellular account. If enabled, recipients of these messages can reply with a special code in order to acknowledge the alarm.

To create an SMS notification profile

  1. Go to Configure section of the Gateway.

  2. Choose Alarming > Notification from the menu on the left.
    The Alarm Notification Profiles page is displayed.

  3. Find the orange arrow and click on Create new Alarm Notification Profile.

  4. Select the SMS Notification profile type and click Next.

  5. Set the following settings concerning your device.

    Airlink Host Add ress     : The IP address of the airlink modem.
    Send Port: Configured in the device, the default port is 17341.
    Receive Port: The port used by Ignition when two-way messaging is enabled. Therefore, the port must not already be used by the host system, and must not be blocked by a firewall. The default port is 17342.
    Two-way Enabled: Default is not enabled. If enabled, the message recipients can acknowledge alarms by replying to the SMS messages received. This is communicated to Ignition via UDP data sent from the modem. Therefore, the Airlink modem must be configured with the IP address of the system.

  6. At the bottom of the page click on Create new Alarm Notification Profile to save the profile.
