RN2NCID.CONF(5)						       RN2NCID.CONF(5)

NAME
       rn2ncid.conf - rn2ncid configuration file

DESCRIPTION
       The  rn2ncid.conf  file	contains  the  configuration  information  for
       rn2ncid.

       The rn2ncid.conf file understands 3 types of lines:

       blank line
	      ignored

       comment line, beginning with '#'
	      ignored

       VARIABLE = VALUE
	      VALUE can contain spaces if it is between quotes.

       See rn2ncid.conf for all default values.

VARIABLES
       verbose = level
	      Level is in the range 1-9. Not all verbose levels are used.

       ncidaddr = host address
	      The NCID server host address can be an IP address or  a  resolv‐
	      able host name.

       ncidport = port
	      The NCID server port number.

       delay = seconds
	      If the connection to the NCID server is lost, this specifies the
	      number of seconds between reconnection attempts.

       cellport = port
	      The listen port as specified in the Remote Notifier application.

       reject = from address[,from address][,from address]...
	      SMS and MMS messages usually have a 'from' address and depending
	      on the carrier this could be a number or an email address. Spec‐
	      ify a comma separated list of addresses that will NOT be	trans‐
	      mitted by the NCID server to all listening NCID clients. This is
	      used to prevent endless loops which could result in  excessively
	      high data or text charges by your cell phone carrier.

       Remote  Notifier	 sends the 'from' address in its 'data' (fifth) field.
       See NOTES below.

       An example of an endless loop would be:

	    -  cell phone gets SMS

	    -  Remote Notifier sends out the SMS

	    -  rn2ncid gets the SMS and sends it to the NCID server as 'MSG'

	    -  the ncid-page module gets this 'MSG' and forwards  it  back  to
	       the cell phone

	    -  cell phone gets the 'MSG' as an SMS

	    -  cycle repeats forever

       To  prevent  this endless loop, suppose you have ncid-page.conf config‐
       ured to send SMS messages to your cell 'from' your  email  address  of:
       johndoe@yahoo.com

       You might want to set 'reject' to be:

	  reject = johndoe@yahoo.com

NOTES
       Remote Notifier sends six pieces of information:

	    -  (1) version (e.g., 'v2')

	    -  (2) unique device id in hex

	    -  (3) unique notification id in hex

	    -  (4) event type (BATTERY, PING, SMS, etc.)

	    -  (5) data (terse information)

	    -  (6) event contents (verbose free-form text, can be multi-line)

EXAMPLES
       Set the NCID server IP address:

	  ncidaddr = 192.168.1.20

       Set the Remote Notifier listen port

	  cellport = 10600

       Reject SMS/MMS messages to manage text blocking

	  reject = 9999
