Sms Server Tools; Multicast - Tripp Lite B092-016 Owner's Manual

Chapter 15: Advanced Configuration
To run the CGI script on the Console Server:
• Login to the B092-016
• Run: mount -o remount,rw /dev/hda1 /
• Copy the script to /home/httpd/cgi-bin/
• Run: mount -o remount,ro /dev/hda1 /
• Browse to: http://192.168.0.1/cgi-bin/yourscript.cgi where 192.168.0.1 is the IP address of the Console Server and
yourscript.cgi is the name of the script
There is a useful tutorial on creating a bash script CGI at http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialCgiShellScript.html
Similarly the Master maintains a view of the status of the Slaves:
• Select Status: Support Report
• Scroll down to Processes
• Look for: /bin/ssh -MN -o ControlPath=/var/run/cascade/%h Slavename. These are the Slaves that are connected
Note: The end of the Slaves' names will be truncated, so the first 5 characters must be unique
Alternatively, you can write a custom CGI script as described above. The currently connected Slaves can be determined by
running: ls /var/run/cascade and the configured Slaves can be displayed by running: config -g config.cascade.Slaves

15.12 SMS Server Tools

Console Servers include the SMS Server Tools software which provides an SMS Gateway which can send and receive short
messages through GSM modems and mobile phones.
You can send short messages by simply storing text files into a special spool directory. The program monitors this directory
and sends new files automatically. It also stores received short messages into another directory as text files. Binary messages
(including Unicode text) are also supported, for example ring tone messages. It's also possible to send a WAP Push message
to the WAP / MMS capable mobile phone.
The program can be run as a SMS daemon which can be started automatically when the operating system starts. High
availability can be ensured by using multiple GSM devices (currently up to 64, this limit is easily changeable).
The program can run other external programs or scripts after events like reception of a new message, successful sending and
also when the program detects a problem. These programs can inspect the related text files and perform automatic actions
The SMS Server Tools software needs a GSM modem (or mobile phone) with SMS command set according to the European
specifications GSM 07.05 (=ETSI TS 300 585) and GSM 03.38 (=ETSI TS 100 900). AT command set is supported. Devices
can be connected with serial port, infrared or USB.

15.13 Multicast

By default, Console Servers have Multicasting enabled. Multicasting provides products with the ability to simultaneously
transmit information from a single device to a select group of hosts.
Multicasting can be disabled and re-enabled from the command line. To disable multicasting type:
ifconfig eth0 –multicast
To re-enable multicasting from the command line type:
ifconfig eth0 multicast
IPv6 may need to be restarted when toggling between multicast states.
