SMS to EMAIL - How to set it in 2N® Netstar

  • The purpose of this document is to provide basic information and instruction how to resend SMS to email. This document does not describes specific business scenario. Document shall help you to understand the routing logic and SMTP client settings (Virtual ports – SMTP – SMTP client).

Scenario

  • Following scenario was chosen only because of its simplicity
  • Incoming SMS to GSM port will be routed directly to the current User. This User will have besides a standard station also Mobility Extension and Email station. He requests that SMS should be forwarded to all of his stations.
  • Note: It is also possible to insert Router (type: Text) into the route path. Then at the beginning of SMS insert for example the name of recipient or just his internal number. Router can then remove the name (or number) and forward this SMS to current User.

Users – Users&Group

  • User „TEST“ has three stations. On all of them was checked the parameter "resend SMS:. In case SMS will be routed to the particular User, system will resend this SMS to all his Stations.

Virtual Port – SMTP – Default IN

  • As a next step you have to create SMPT Virtual port. For SMS to email feature it is necessary to create SMTP client. Click by the right mouse button in the middle section and choose Add Virtual port – choose KLIENT. In our case we set server “SEZNAM” (Czech one). Bellow you can see SMTP client with all necessary filled parameters. So 2N® NetStar will log to this server with predefined account (jaroslav_lambert@seznam.cz) and SMS will be then sent from this account.
  • Note: In case of server SEZNAM it is good to use Authentication as Login. In case of other servers Authentication can be different.

Users – Uživatelé & skupiny

  • The last step is EMAIL station routing settings. On current station – tab Properties, then Message routing. Because Email station is not physically connected to NetStar (it is External station), we have to set NO port routing.
