Creating a Notification Server

To create a notification server, the CMP system must have the SMPP/XML mode enabled.

To create a notification server:

  1. From the Policy Server section of the navigation pane, select Notification Servers.

    The content tree displays the Notification Servers group.

  2. Select the Notification Servers group.

    The Notification Server Administration page opens in the work area.

  3. Click Create Notification Server.

    The New Notification Server page opens.

  4. Enter the Name (required) for the notification server.

    When you configure policies using notification servers, you will use this name. The name can only contain the characters A–Z, a–z, 0–9, period (.), hyphen (-), and underline (_). The maximum length is 40 characters.

  5. Enter a Description / Location (optional).

    The description is free-form text containing up to 255 characters.

  6. Enter the Destination URL (required).

    Use the FQDN or the IP address in either IPv4 or IPv6 format (for example, http://10.15.20.190:80). This parameter can contain up to 255 characters and must be unique. The SMSR creates a persistent connection to this end point.

  7. Enter the Connection Pool [1-5].

    Identifies the number of persistent connections to this end point (default is 1).

  8. Keep Alive Interval (seconds).

    Indicates the number of seconds to keep the persistent connection active. The valid range is 0 to 300 seconds. The default is 30.

  9. In the Policy Servers associated with this Notification Server section, do one of the following:
    • Select ALL to associate the notification server with all MPE devices.
    • Select individual MPE devices.
    • Do not select any MPE devices.
  10. Click Save.
The notification server is created.

After you create a notification server, you can associate it with MPE devices and use it in policy actions in the policy wizard.
