Configuring the SMS Module

To configure the settings for the SMS Module:

  1. Go to System > SMP Servers.

    The SMP Servers window opens and shows a list of servers.

  2. Click the server name.

    The Server window opens and shows the General page in the Configure tab.

  3. Click SMS Module > SMS Settings.

  4. Configure the settings and the IP addresses for the server:

    • Description

    • Server Relative Weight - Enter the load balancing capacity relative to the other servers. The default setting is 1.

    • Enabled - Select this option to enable the SMS module. This module manages the Dynamic DNS requests. If the SMS is disabled, it does not respond to requests from gateways or participate in load balancing.

  5. Click Save.

Notes:

  • A server with a Server Relative Weight of 2 can handle twice as many gateways as a server with a setting of 1.

  • Disable the SMS for a SMP Server that is not connected to the network.

You must configure the IP address settings for the SMS (Security Management Server) module when:

  • The Security Management Server has more than one IP address.

  • You are using Dynamic DNS for the gateways.

    The Security Management Server connects gateways to the Service Domain. The gateways must use their fully qualified ID to connect to the SMP.

    Note - Each IP address can be attached to a different default Service Domain.
