RE: GSM Modem

[Michael Hutchinson]

Hello,

 

Sorry to everyone else for sounding like a broken record.

 

Wavecom GSM modems are great. They present themselves on a Serial (RS232) port, and use the Hayes AT Command set. Very easy to drive with Gnokii / smsd – have used them myself and haven’t had an issue yet. So much better than trying to drive Cell Phones connected to USB/Serial. Wavecom appear to have been acquired by Seirra Wireless. Here’s a website at any rate:

Check out the Wavecom FastTrack – they sound like the kind of unit you’re after. I’ve employed 2 of these with 2 separate Nagios instances – no problem at all.  A starter bundle is most likely what you want, to get the Mag. Aerial etcetera. There should be a supplier near you that carries this Kit.

 

Thanks and Cheers,

Michael Hutchinson

HI all, I'm in the process of looking at a GSM modem to support my Nagios installation but not sure what modems if any your software supports, I did a quick Google but did not come up with a definitive answer.

I was looking at a couple of sites which are as follows, could you let me know if your support or if your software will be able to use either.
