Unicenter Notification Services
Unicenter Notification Services lets you send wired and wireless messages using various protocols and devices to get the attention of operators or administrators, wherever they are, who must resolve problems or attend to emergencies.
Notification Services is different from Wireless Messaging, which is still available in Event Management. Wireless Messaging lets you send emails and pages.
The available protocols are:
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is used to send one-way and two-way email messages to various devices, including cell phones. Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) is used to receive emails from a mail server.
Wireless Communications Transfer Protocol (WCTP) uses XML over HTTP and is designed for sending and receiving messages and binary data between wire-line systems and one-way or two-way wireless devices.
Simple Network Paging Protocol (SNPP) is based on TCP/IP and offers one-way and two-way pages.
Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP) sends pages by modem, and is the oldest one-way paging protocol.
Short Message Service (SMS) is used to send text one-way to cell phones using HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP).
IBM Lotus Instant Messaging and Web Conferencing (Sametime Instant Messaging - SIM) is used on Windows to send one-way, and two-way instant messages.
Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI) is used on Windows to send one-way voice messages that are synthesized from text using the Microsoft Speech Application Programming Interface (SAPI) text-to-speech (TTS) engine. The default speech is set in the Windows Control Panel. The messages travel by telephone line using a TAPI-compliant telephony device to a human recipient.
Third-party or customer programs or scripts can be used to send one-way messages. Scripts and command definitions are stored in the file UNSConnections.ini in the install_path/config directory.
