MultiTech GPRS MultiModems

MultiTech GPRS MultiModems

I’ve seen a lot of questions, both in the MVP email list and on the forums/newsgroups, about how to setup OpsMgr to use SMS. The easiest way is with these, GPRS (Cellular) modems.

So I sent an email to my friends at MultiTech and the above showed up – a USB, RS-232, and Ethernet GPRS modems. I will be setting them up, documenting the process, then posting it here for you all to take in.

I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how simple it is to setup and, more importantly, how much more cost effective it is versus a paging solution like Telelink, Hiplink, etc. No more needing to know the carrier a number is under, no more global gateways to license. An unlimited messaging plan with no voice can be had for as little as $7/month.

So look for that coming soon!
