[00:00] (instrumental music) This lesson will guide you through setting up an SMS notification profile so you can get alarm notifications via text messages. We'll specifically focus on working with an Airlink for these notifications. While you could use Twilio for SMS, we won't be covering that configuration here. You can find links to the Ignition User Manual for both the Airlink and the Twilio method below this video. To get started, we need to navigate to the Gateway webpage Services section, find Alarming, and click Notification. From here, we can click Create Profile. Then we can select SMS notification from the list and click Next. One quick note, there are a couple of prerequisites that need to be met before SMS notifications can be used. First, we need to make sure that we have the right modules installed -- the SMS Notification Module and the Alarm Notification Module. Both are necessary to set up SMS notifications successfully. To verify that you have the required modules, you can navigate to Platform, System, and Modules in the Gateway. You'll also need a cellular modem and an active cellular account to send the messages.

[01:14] Inductive Automation officially supports three Airlink devices, the RV50 or RV50X, the RV55, and the LX40. Most devices that support Airlink IP protocol can be used, but configuration settings may vary. Below this video, you'll find a link to our User Manual page for SMS Notification Profiles, as well as the links to the IA Knowledge Base articles with device setup guides. With our prerequisites in place, we can return to creating the SMS profile. I'll give the profile a name, and then we can look at the default settings provided. We'll start with the Airlink host address. Here, you'll want to enter the IP address of the primary cellular modem you want to use. For our demo, we'll use the default value. The send port is what the device uses to send messages and is configured on the device itself. I'm gonna go ahead and leave this set to 17341.

[02:09] The receive port is what Ignition will use when two-way messaging is enabled. I'll also leave this at the default of 17342. The next three properties allow redundant gateway setup and the use of backup mode. We can also leave these at the defaults. If we wanted to activate the Two-way Enabled property, it would include an alphanumeric code with a notification message. This setting allows users to reply with that code in order to acknowledge an alarm. The following property, Numeric Only Ack Code, would change the code that's sent to users so it's only a numeric code instead of alphanumeric. Finally, if we scroll to the bottom, the last property will associate this notification profile with an audit profile. If this is configured, events such as SMS messages and acknowledgments will be stored to the audit system. Now that our selections are complete, I'll click the create button at the bottom of the page, and our SMS notification profile is running on the gateway.
