Hi Cedric,

Yes, that is possible with a limitation.

First of all, I assume you talk about DataMiner Systems. If you have a DataMiner System (=cluster) with multiple DataMiner Agents (=nodes) in there, you just need one SMS Eagle and the cluster (=all DataMiner Agents) points to that SMS Eagle.

I assume you have a second DataMiner System and you want to reuse that SMS Eagle. That is possible, but there is one big remark. Only one DataMiner System can receive SMS messages. But both DataMiner Systems can send messages.

The problem is that receiving messages is using a polling mechanism and only one DataMiner System would be able to get the SMS and you would not know which DataMiner System will get it. That might be different each time.

Therefore, it's recommended to configure only 1 DataMiner System with a "schedule" to retrieve the messages, and put the schedule on zero for the other DataMiner Systems.

This is in the setting I'm talking about:

Overview of the Mobile Gateway configuration settings | DataMiner Docs

So, here this is set to zero for the second DataMiner System which will not be able to receive text messages, but it will be able to send text messages.

Hi Cedric,

First of all, I assume that your two DataMiner Agents are not configured as one cluster (one SMS gateway for one cluster with multiple DataMiner Agents works fine).

Theoretically, multiple DataMiner Agents can use the same IP-based device (e.g. SMSEagle) but you will have a problem for the incoming messages. There is no way to know which DataMiner Agent should receive the incoming message. Hence the reason why I would go for two SMSEagle devices (if you have two DataMiner clusters).
