OssTeltonikaSms Operation

The ossTeltonikaSms palette has a single component, the TeltonikaAlarmRecipient.

The TeltonikaAlarmRecipient component should be placed in the Alarm Services folder, along with the associated alarm classes.

The required alarm classes should be linked to the ‘Route Alarm’ action in the same way as standard Niagara alarm recipients, as shown below.

Within the component, fill in the Teltonika Sms Url, Teltonika User, Teltonika Password and Telephone Number fields as below, using the Teltonika API login and the mobile number that alarms should be sent to.

If properly configured, every alarm routed to the TeltonikaAlarmRecipient will send an SMS message to the configured telephone number.
