Configuring EMG

Top  Previous  Next

To begin the process of registering on Sprint's EMG, you'll want to contact your Sprint representative or go to https://emg.sprint.com

 

EMG supports receiving messages by SNPP and SMTP. With all both, we can configure a failover system where the program will use the best method of delivery (SNPP) first and if that fails, it makes a last ditch attempt to send it out via email (SMTP).

 

Special Notes:

Port 444 will need to be open for SNPP.

To configure the SMTP failover, you will need to know your SMTP server address, port to connect on and required authentication credentials.

 

Step 1: Configure Sprint-PRIMARY as a delivery method

1)Run PG Admin.
