Hi Nick, sorry for the long delay here – in short, I have no idea. I searched for cell modems that work seamlessly with Windows and MultiTech was the first response (And a local company, too!) so I went with that. Though any cell modem should work fine as long as windows sees it natively.

Thanks for this great article. I do have one quick question. What’s the benefit of using a MultiModem modem in comparison to a cheap USB adapter found on ebay? (Just in terms of sending SMS)

Thank You

That’s interesting. I took a look at it, I don’t know why you’d need it. As long as you’re using OpsMgr on Windows Server 2003 or higher the SMS integration is builtin, there’s no extra software needed. So I don’t get why you’d buy this.

Thanks for the article, it is very useful!
Maybe you could help me. I have found this website (hope it’s no matter if i write the url): http://www.sms-integration.com
Here they have a solution with an sms gateway that can be integrated to scom. Do you have any experience with this software?

Thx,
Jozef

I agree, this was an excellent aritical!! Now if I could just get OpsMrg to actually send the SMS notification?

I keep getting an alert that notification subsystem failed to send notification using device\server multitech systems USB GMS_GPRS wireless modem. It sends it via the AT+CMGS=”651MYPHONE” command so I know the modem is working. Oh well, I keep digging

Thanks again for the great artical
