What is Rasel Professional?
 Rasel Professional is an edition of Rasel that's used by enterprises to
send a large scale of SMSes in an automated manner.
 Using Rasel Professional the enterprise can easily inject templates
based upon their database; these templates take the data from the
enterprise database and send it to the client as soon as Rasel
Professional is notified about a change in the condition.
 Sending conditions can be totally defined by the enterprise, e.g. when
row count reaches X, when a client balance reaches a low margin,
when a student grades are released … etc.
 Rasel Service uses multiple gateways to get your SMSes sent with full
speed and with minimal amount of delay.
 Rasel Service challenges prices by its quality service.
Rasel Professional Components
Before we look at Rasel Professional components in details we will talk
about its components in brief:
1. SMS Server: this server is always resident and is in charge of
sending SMS requests from all over University.
2. Rasel Enterprise: this application controls the server remotely, as
it has the ability to modify templates, define new
templates, associate templates, sends student batch
SMSes and so much more.

Now we will have detailed description about these two components:
SMS Server:
 Description
SMS Server is a cross platform, light, and powerful server that offers
the SMS service over IP inside the university Service, it requires a
connection to the Internet in order to send SMSes.
The University intermediate table is a table that's found in SMS server
local database, it is designed to hold the information that's desired to
be sent to the clients, and is specified by the University System, where
the consultation team places triggers as desired in the University
database, these triggers add information to this Intermediate Table as
required.
SMS server doesn't have any interference with the University
database, or the bank system, it uses that Intermediate Table that's fed
by the University system to send the information required.
SMS Server can be used to send any other SMS batches or single
messages too.
 Benefits to the client
The SMS Server offers a lot of benefits to the client:
1. The University can easily integrate this server with its
existing system.
2. The University doesn't need to modify its existing system.
3. The University can monitor the SMS service.
4. The SMS service can be used all over the University as there
is one server doing the mission.
5. The SMS server can run over any operating system, and in
case of any maintenance ALTARIQ technical staff can

access this server without accessing any of the bank system
servers.
6. The SMS service can be used for various uses even for the
University local employees (notifications, announcements…
etc).
 System Requirements
As mentioned above the SMS server is programmed to run over any
operating system and with no compatibility issues, here follows the
system requirements:
Minimum System Requirements:
 Pentium 4 HT Processor 3.00 GHz.
 1 GB of DDR2 RAM.
 Fast Ethernet network connection.
 Static IP over the network.
 A valid and always on Internet Connection.
 Windows XP or Linux RedHat operating system.
Optimal System Requirements:
 Pentium Xeon Processor 3.00 GHz.
 2 GB of DDR2 RAM.
 Gigabit Ethernet network connection.
 Static IP over the network.
 A valid and always on Internet Connection.
 Linux RedHat fedora core 4.0 operating system.

 Connectivity
As SMS server will have no access on the bank database, it will use
the mentioned intermediate table; the SMS Server will be the
messenger that contacts the Rasel Gateway and sends Messages the
following diagram clarifies this procedure:

As can be seen from the previous diagram; the process starts when the
banking system adds rows in the Intermediate table by the triggers
places in its database, The SMS Server which has monitoring over this
table directly sends these information and tags it as sent, also it adds it
to the sending history and logs it in its local database.

 Security:
o A security system is implemented to prevent any hack on the
System.
o Encryption methodology is encrypted and a 256 bit algorithm
is used, that means SMSes are kept confidential and secret.
o Information Decryption occurs only between the SMS Server
and the SMS gateway, which means nobody can see this
information except the recipient himself.
Rasel Client Application:
 Description:
Rasel client application is an application that takes advantage of the
SMS Server; it is used to compose SMSes, to send SMSes to the SMS
Server in order to be sent to the clients, and controls the server.
The normal section of Rasel Enterprise is in sending the SMSes either
single SMSes or Batch SMSes, Rasel Enterprise can be directed to any
database just like the SMS Server, except that the SMS Server
connects to the Intermediate table, Rasel Enterprise can be connected
to any database as needed, you can even connect to an excel file!
The control section of Rasel Enterprise is found to control the SMS
Server, as will described later in the section, all the functionalities of
the server is controlled form Rasel Enterprise like Template definition,
scheduling options, refresh rates… etc.
Many copies of Rasel Enterprise can be installed on different PCs, the
SMS Server can serve them all, and the Control panel is protected
