+===== PRTG integration for SMS alerts =====
+This article explains how to integrate a PRTG Network Monitor system with your FoxBox, in order to use it as an external SMS notification system.
+=== #1: Installation on the FoxBox side ===
+Your FoxBox is specifically designed for these kind of communication tasks, thus there is not much to do here except:
+  * Providing a valid IP address, reachable from your monitoring server;
+  * Inserting a tested and full working SIM card, to send the SMS.
+=== #2: Installation on the Server side ===
+From the PRTG web interface, select the menu //Setup// -> //System Administration// -> //Notification Delivery Settings//. Here, inside of the section //SMS Delivery// you have to specify this custom URL:
+<code>
+http://FOXBOX_IP_ADDR/source/send_sms.php?username=admin&pwd=XYZ123&from=PRTG&nphone=%SMSNUMBER&testo=%SMSTEXT
+</code>
+:id1: The URL parameters are the same of [[foxbox_api#http_get_post|HTTP Get/Post API]], except //nphone// and //testo// that will be automatically populated by the PRTG engine.
+Once you have created this new notification channel, you need to enable the alerts for using it. Thus, from the menu //Setup// -> //Account Settings// -> //Notifications// click on the //Add new notification// button.\\
+Once you have properly set up the required fields, from the section //Send SMS/Pager Message// you will be able to define the recipient phone number.
+:id1: As usual, the number has to be written with the international prefix, and without the "+".
+The configuration is now complete. You can check it using the //Test// button next to your new SMS notification, which will send a test message to the phone number you just entered.
