SMS Monitor is
a product designed to help you maintain up-to-the-minute contact with field-based
personnel. You can receive SMS messages directly from the OS/400 message
queue to your mobile phone. SMS Monitor provides a mobile extension
to the System i (AS/400) message services normally available to these staff by
routing messages to the SMS facility on their GSM mobile phone. You
can also use the mobile phone to send calls and execute programmes and functions
on your System i (AS/400) and incoming SMS can be used as a trigger for other
applications. SMS Monitor can monitor every movement and process
on your iSeries (AS/400): You can monitor system messages, message queues,
message files, job, user profiles and you can also make a conditioned monitor
session. | | All
events can be sent as a SMS messages to the GSM phone of the System i (AS/400)
operator on duty. This way the system operator will always be able to follow the
phases of a job on evenings, nights and weekends, without being near a workstation.
System monitoring: All the system messages that are sent as SMS to
the operator on duty - can also be sent as email to his email address.This feature
requires that "SMS Mail" is installed. Emergency alert: All
types of telephones can be alerted if serious system errors should occur.
When a SMS message appears on a GSM mobile phone, a low "beep" is heard.
This can easily be missed (e.g. if you are asleep). SMS Monitor can be setup so
that serious messages, like power failure, disk-crash, etc. are flagged by raising
an alarm by calling a landline telephone. When the landline telephone
is answered, a three-note alarm tone is heard. This should be enough to attract
your attention to the message on your GSM mobile phone or on your System i (AS/400).
