Frequently asked questions
Can the FTP_parser driver be used without a GSM modem?
Yes. The FTP_parser driver works with GPRS/FTP communication and does not require a GSM modem; it can be used to read measurement data from GSM‑RTUs via FTP.
What database is required for both drivers?
Both DB2SMS and FTP_parser drivers require a PostgreSQL database to store configuration and data.
