SNAG-View SMS Integration manual

Here we describe how to use SMSEagle Hardware SMS Gateway with SNAG-View for sending SMS notifications & alarms. Setup is easy and should take 5-10min 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.
