SMS

 

Configure the SMSC server settings to send SMS messages to specified phone numbers from the NAS. Follow these steps to set up a SMSC server:

2.Specify to enable SSL connection to the SMS service provider and fill out the server details, including the login name, login password and server API_ID.
3.Enable the alert notification by ticking the checkbox "When a system error event occurs, send a SMS notification to the following phone number". Up to two phone numbers can be specified to receive instant system alerts from the NAS.

 

Note: The URL template text must follow the standard of the SMS service provider to receive the SMS alert properly.

 

Push Service

 

The push service lets you receive notification messages on your mobile devices if a warning or error event occurs - allowing you to quickly receive first-hand information from your NAS and instantly react to keep your data safe. You must have "Qmanager" installed on your mobile devices to receive notifications.

 

Note: You must have firmware QTS 4.2.0 with Qmanager iOS 1.8.0 / Qmanager Android 2.1.0 or above.

 

Follow these steps to set up the push service:

1.Log into myQNAPcloud using your QID.
2.Choose the notification types that you want to receive (warnings or errors.)
3.Install Qmanager on your mobile device (Qmanager iOS 1.8.0 / Android 2.1.0 or above.)
4.Log into the NAS using Qmanager and confirm to receive push notifications (you can also disable this service in Qmanager > click ">" next to a NAS connection > "server settings" page > change push service properties.)
5.The NAS will send alert notifications to paired mobile devices when a warning or error event occurs.

 

The paired devices will be listed in the "Manage Paired Devices" table. You can disable or delete a paired device from the table.

 

Note: On occasion you may not receive system notifications instantly due to iOS and Android server mechanisms.
