SMS Alerts

Question

We are looking at purchasing a USB GSM modem that accepts the SIM card directly into the modem.

What I need is some advice on how to use this device with Orion alerts do I just need to use Notepage or do I need something different?

Thanks

Jon

As long as it's seen as a modem from your server, you should be able to use NotePage and the Dial SMS action.  As far as the application is concerned, it's just another modem.

If the alert action you're trying to use is "Dial Paging or SMS service", then I would assume that NotePage is required. However, if you're looking simply to send an SMS alert, couldn't you use the "Send an E-Mail/Page" alert action instead. Granted, it won't make use of your USB GSM modem, though.
