PHP, Version 5.2.13 is distributed with the NotifyLink Web/HTTP Component.

Note:  This will overwrite any existing installation of PHP.  Therefore, it is recommended that you do NOT install the Web/HTTP Component on a server with other PHP websites.

Port 80/443 (http/https) inbound and outbound must be open

The Web/HTTP Component contains a high-speed messaging gateway that is accessed by devices supported on high-speed cellular networks or fixed wireless networks. 

During installation of the Web Component you will be prompted for the internal and external server addresses associated with the server where you are installing.  The external server address must be accessible from the Internet in order for high-speed devices to use the messaging gateway. 

Test this after installation by entering http://<YourExternalServerAddress>/hwp/get.asp from a web browser located outside of your Intranet.  If the page is found, the external server address is accessible.

Using SSL with your web component*

The following secure certificates have been tested and confirmed to work with all supported NotifyLink devices:

•      Verisign/RSA Secure Server CA:   We are using their "Secure Site" certificate

•      Thawte Server CA:  We are using their "SSL Web Server Certificate"

* NotifyLink now supports SSL on Apache.  See Knowledge Base article for Apache configuration requirements.
