NetXMS Support Forum

Hi,

as per subject, it is possible to use a Portech that is installed in a different zone than the NetXMS server and that is accessed through a proxy? I would like to send some "critical" notifications using that SMS gateway but I did not understand how to configure it.
As alternative, is there an english language web based service (like the one provided by https://websms.ru/) compatible with NetXMS?

Best regards,
Marco

I know this is not exactly what you are looking for, but check out Pushover.
Its a message push service, has clients for iPhone, Android, etc...

Its cheaper then sending SMS, we actually use it for everything now.
Integration with NetXMS is under 5 minutes as well.

As for the actual SMS service, cant help there, sry

Hi Tomaskir,

thank you for your suggestion. I'll keep it in consideration.
I'm much more interested in the SMS possibility because some of the adressees are not using smartphones (yes, in 2015 there are still people that are not smartphone aware )

Hi,

currently there is no way to send SMS from device behind proxy agent - all drivers requires direct connection from NetXMS server. Easier way I can suggest is that I can add proxy agent support to nxagent SMS driver (which sends SMS through NetXMS agent on machine with connected GSM phone/modem). Then you'll be able to install Raspberry Pi with GSM phone or modem connected via USB and send SMS via agent on it.

Victor

Hi Victor,

Do you think that supporting a network SMS gateway (like the Portech) throug proxy agent would it be possible as well with that implementation?

Accessing Portech via proxy will be a bit more time consuming - for accessing agent everything is ready, but for gateway behind proxy we will have to implement generic TCP connection proxy through agent. It can be implemented but not so fast and easy as agent-based solution. We also support Kannel SMS gateway - can it help?

Also, if you know any web-based SMS sending service with REST API - driver for it can be implemented very quickly - it will definitely be easier then adding proxy connection support for Portech driver.
