SMS settings

NAVIGATION  Network Monitor > Settings > SMS > SMS settings

Network Monitor can send SMS through a modem connected to the Network Monitor host machine. The modem can either be a GSM phone or a modem capable of sending SMS via a fixed line service provider. The SMS settings tab configures the logical settings required to enable the connection.

  • GSM phone port - Select the port used to connect to the phone from the list of available COM ports.
  • Baud rate - Baud rate is the speed Network Monitor reads and writes to the modem. Refer to the modem's documentation to specify the correct value. A setting of 2400 is recommended, if you're not sure what to select. Selecting the wrong baud rate can result in sporadic failures when sending SMS messages.
  • PIN Code - Optional PIN code field. Some GSM phones requires Network Monitor to send a PIN code before sending a message. Enter the 4 digit PIN code in this field.

Configuring the modem

  1. Select the serial port the GSM modem is connected to.
  2. Select the baud rate. Defaults to 9600.
  3. (Optional) Enter the PIN code to unlock the SIM card.
  4. Click the Save button to store the new settings.

User phone number

An SMS phone number must be specified for each user receiving SMS notifications from Network Monitor using either of the following:

Tested SMS assets

  • Falcom Samba
  • Falcom Swing
  • Falcom Twist
  • Nokia 30
  • Z-text fixed line SMS modem

Along with this list, almost all modern GSM phones and modems work. The asset must support Text mode SMS and be able to connect to a COM port. An asset may also connect to an USB port but the asset driver must be able to emulate a standard serial port so it can be discovered by Network Monitor.

SMS modem installation checklist

The asset should be connected to a serial port, or USB port with serial emulation, on the Network Monitor host machine.

  1. Connect the phone cable to the Network Monitor host machine.
  2. Install the modem driver for your phone (if required).
  3. With a terminal program connect to the phone.
  4. Try to send a SMS by typing the following.
    • ATZ
    • KNM SMS TEST
    • Press CTRL-Z
    • AT+CMGF=1
    • AT+CMGS="<PHONENUMBER>"
  5. The SMS should now be sent. Remember to replace <PHONENUMBER> with the number of the receiving phone and keep the quote signs (e.g. "0068455"). On the last line you should press the CTRL-Z key combination.
  6. The phone should answer with CMGS followed by a number indicating the ID of the sent SMS.
  7. The phone is now ready for use by Network Monitor.
