SMS-GW3 LTE: LTE gateway for sending SMS messages from HWg devices

SMS-GW3 LTE is a central gateway that allows HWg devices, SensDesk portals, and third-party software/hardware to send text messages (SMS) and make voice calls alerts.

1) Device-to-GW
Customers with HWg monitoring devices are using one SMS-GW for alerting. Several HWg devices (LAN Thermometer / Energy monitoring) can connect to a single SMS-GW to send alarm alerts (SMS/voice calls) to different phone numbers. No extra software is needed, and it works over the local network using Box-2-Box (Peer-to-Peer) communication.

2) Portal-to-GW
Any installation of SensDesk portal can use the SMS-GW for alerting. The gateway have to be accessible from the portal (either through a VPN or a public IP address).

3) 3th party SW to GW
For third-party (non HWg products) users, the SMS-GW can be usefule gateway for alerting through several Open API.

  • HTTP GET
  • netGSM (SOAP documented protocol)
  • General SNMP (Write)

 

Features: 
  • Connectivity: Ethernet (10/100 Mbit/s), LTE
  • LTE antenna: External 3m cable, SMA
  • Internal memory for outgoing SMS queue: 100 messages
  • SMS/Calls GW for all HWg devices (RME)
  • SMS/Calls GW for any SNMP software
  • SMS/Calls GW for any NAGIOS (plugin by NETWAYS)
  • Open API: SNMP, XML, netGSM (http, SOAP)
  • Supports the "SMS + Ring" function for combined SMS and ring notifications.
  • Mechanical: 76 x 93 x 28 mm, wall-mountable, fits on a DIN rail
Applications and usage: 
  • Single SMS gateway for the entire network with an easy-to-use web-based configuration.
  • Send text messages without the need for any additional software.
  • Configure the recipient's phone number directly in the sending device.

Device-to-GW: Sending SMS alerts from HWg devices over LAN

Customers with HWg monitoring devices are using one SMS-GW for alerting. No additional software or service is needed, just monitonig device + SMS GW. It's working over the local network using Box-2-Box (Peer-to-Peer) communication

  • Poseidon2 4002 & SMS-GW are on the same LAN
  • Telephone number of Mr. Blue is defined in the web gui of Poseidon2 4002 (same as SMS-GW IP address).
  • Poseidon2 4002 sends an alarm message about a sensor value to Mr. Blue's phone number via SMS-GW over the LAN. 
    Alerting use the Device-2-GW mode, no software or portal service is needed. It's part of RME (Remote Monitoring Ecosystem)
     
  • SMS-GW3 LTE contains a SIM card and sends cell message alerts (Ring + SMS) on behalf of all devices in the network.
  • One SMS-GW device can be used by several device on the LAN, each device can alert to different recipients (Mt. Green or Blue).
  • Message recipients' phone numbers (Mr. Blue, Mr. Green, ...) are configured in the sending device.
  • Together with the text message, it is also possible to Ring (Voice call) the recipient and let the phone ring for a short time (configured in the sending device). 

 

 

 

Portal-to-GW: Sending SMS alerts from the Portal

Any installation of SensDesk portal (SaaS / On-premise) can use the SMS-GW for alerting. The gateway have to be accessible from the portal (either through a VPN or a public IP address).

  • Any Portal (based on SensDesk Technology) can use the SMS-GW device for sending alerts (Ring + SMS).
  • The SMS-GW have to be accessible from the Portal (same LAN / Public IP / VPN)
  • One SMS-GW (SIM card / phone number) can be alerting to several recipients (telephone numbers) from several Teams (company accounts) in the Portal.
  •  
  • All HWg devices are connected to the Portal, based on conditions defined on the Portal are send alert via the SMS-GW.
  • Alerting via Portal is more reliable due possibility of Device Invalid Alert (device is disconnected from the Portal cca 60 min)
     
  • Recipients' phone numbers (Mr. Purple, Mr. Green) are configured in the Portal.

3th party SW to GW

  • Using netGSM (SOAP - HTTP POST)
  • Using HTTP GET
  • Using the SNMP Write function

Nagios SMS alerts

  • Nagios NMS monitors other devices using SNMP.                                            
  • In the Nagios system, a plugin enables SMS alerts over SMS-GW3 LTE gateway.
  • The plugin configuration includes the phone numbers of text message alert recipients.
  • The NAGIOS plugin was created in cooperation with Netways (MonitoringExchange: notify-poseidon-sms.pl).
