Wince: Operating system name and version: Linux ?
Version of smsd: 3.1.6
Smsd installed from: sources
Name and model of a modem / phone: Multi-Modem - MTCBA-G-F4-NAM
Interface: serial
Hello, To be clear, we are just starting out with this process and have not even installed any software to date, this will performed next week once our 4 modems arrive. We have in operation 2 servers (+back-ups) sites, One site hosts our web pages and the other site has our databases and performance software. We presently use a company for outbound sms and are in the process of changing over to our own modems that will hang-off of 1 (or 2) cpu's (yet to be installed) dedicated for this task.
Additionally, I am NOT an experienced software person, I employ people to do this for me, but I am simply researching in advance what our software developers will need to know.
We need guidance from ground zero. We are acquiring 2 basic cpu's (linux) to strictly perform outbound sms's. Originally the 2nd cpu was to be just a backup, but I have read that running in tandem may be a better option as it will share the wear and tear and one will act as the other's back-up if the other fails.
So here are my questions:
1) What "is" the best configuration? 2 mirrored or 1 as backup?
2) Can someone provide the script(s) for the following...
2A) We want our modems to share the load for outbound-only sms's, starting with 4 modems and we will grow to 64 modems in a short time
2B) If a modem goes down, we need our system to stop sending to it
2C) We need to be alerted if a modem (or anything actually) stops working via sms and email
2D) What other tips can be provided in the configuration of this new software?
I am sorry for my lengthy email
Thank you in advance
Vince
