Send Alarm-SMS
with QNAP Turbo NAS

QNAP Turbo NAS devices support SMS alerts to inform IT administrators about different events like system error, warning, and other alerts. Two mobile phone numbers can be specified to receive the latest system information.

All these helpful and immediate alert notifications enable IT administrators to take full control of the most recent status of the Turbo NAS and take immediate actions to troubleshoot in time. Downtime caused by unexpected failures is thereby considerably minimized.

Alarm-SMS and notifications with ASPSMS are best sent with the operation SimpleTextSMS of the ASPSMS SOAP Web Service Version 2:

And this is how it works:

Add ASPSMS as SMS service provider

Add ASPSMS as SMS service provider in the section System Administration - Notification - Configure SMSC Server:

1. SMS service provider
   
   Select the option Add SMS service provider.
   
   
2. SMS service provider
   
   Name the new SMS service provider ASPSMS.
   
   
3. URL-template text
   
   Where highlighted your own Userkey, Password and an own Originator have to be set.
   
   Example for:

   • Userkey = 0123456789ABC
   • Password = ******
   • Originator = TurboNAS01

   
   No spaces all on one line::
   

   https://soap.aspsms.com/aspsmsx2.asmx/SendSimple
   TextSMS?UserKey=0123456789ABC&Password=******&Recipients=@@Phone
   Number@@&Originator=TurboNAS01&MessageText=@@Text@@

   
   Be aware of the following when you set an originator:

   • Numeric originator:
     • A numeric originators has to be unlocked once before it can be used: Unlock originator
     • There are possible restriction for the use of numeric originator when sending to certain networks: possible restrictions with numeric originators
   • Alphanumeric originators:
     • There are possible restriction for the use of alphanumeric originator when sending to certain networks: possible restrictions with alphanumeric originators
   
   
4. Apply
   
   A mouse click to the button finishes the adding of the SMS service provider ASPSMS and does select it.

More than two mobile phone numbers or mobile phone numbers in different countries

For specifiyng more than two mobile phone numbers or mobile phone numbers in different countries, use only the field Cell phone Nr. 1 to avoid duplicate deliveries. The other numbers have to be set directly within the URL-template text. For this, you have to edit again the ASPSMS SMS service provider in the section System Administration - Notification - Configure SMSC Server.

• 1. Cell phone Nr.: 0041770000000 (Switzerland)
• 2. Cell phone Nr.: 0041790000000 (Switzerland)
• 3. Cell phone Nr.: 00491710000000 (Germany)
• 4. Cell phone Nr.: 00393340000000 (Italy)

Set the value of the field Cell phone No. 1 to the 1. Cell phone Nr.: 770000000 ein. The QNAP Turbo NAS device will substitute the place holder @@PhoneNumber@@ with that number when sending.
