DAKS SMS messaging – integration manual

Here we describe how to setup DAKS with SMSEagle device for SMS/MMS messaging support. The integration process is easy and should take 10-15 minutes to complete.

SMSEagle is an offline hardware SMS gateway. Therefore no external connection to 3rd party system is required. All notifications are generated on-premise and sent directly to a cellular network. This solution can be used in secure installations without Internet access.

SMSEagle Setup

Log in to the SMSEagle Web-GUI:
- Open a web browser and enter the IP address of your SMSEagle device.
- Log in using your admin credentials.
Enable the SMPP:
- In the navigation menu, select the „SMPP Server” option.
- Check the „Enable SMPP” box to activate the service.
- (Note: Unlike the standard SMPP port 2775, SMSEagle uses 2770 by default, it cannot be changed. Be sure to set this correctly in DAKS as well.)
  - Username: Specify a username for the SMPP connection.
  - Password: Set a password to secure the connection.
Save the Settings:
- Click „Save” or „Apply” to store the changes.
Reboot the Device:
- To apply the new settings, reboot the SMSEagle device.
  (Even though the system will prompt you to restart, ensure the device is rebooted. Skipping this step will cause SMPP to function improperly.)
- You can restart the device using the „Reboot” option in the admin panel.

DAKS Setup

Access the SMPP Configuration:
- Open the DAKS configuration interface and navigate to the SMPP setup section.
Set Up the Connection:
