The SMC provide users with a sophisticate alert system and a wide varieties of notification media. Most of them relay on standard Internet servers, like the email service. The only exception is the SMS notification that relay on external hardware.

So far Stonesoft has tested and validate the Wavecom Fastrack M1306B. Since it has reached the end-of-life state we have started to test the replacing model: Wavecom Fastrack Supreme 20. Even though the 2 devices look quite similar, after initial tests with SMC 4.3.x we can say that the new SMS modem is not compatible with SMC. Most likely we are going to fix the problem in next release, just do not rush on the new model. By the way if you wish to test another device it is the right time to speak up: simply add a comment to this post explaining your reasons.

    Ciao Mauro,
    I have a requesting customer here in South of France willing to be alerted via SMS.
    I remember the first releases of the SMC support the appropriate Nokia with a serial cable aso…
    But, how is this supposed to work when the SMC is a VM without serial or even USB adapter… anyone tried and posted something dealing with it ?

    Hi,
    if VM can not bind to the physical port, this kind of modem can not be used.
    In such case I would suggest to send an email to a SMTP-to-SMS gateway.

    Mauro.
