I would like to be able to send SMSs from a dongle for the Telstra network attached to a CRS125-24G-15. If anyone has done this and can say how, or can point me to any wisdom about doing same, I would be most grateful. -Steve
What about an email Steve, it would be heaps easier !

Hey Paul, Sadly no - I need a method that does not rely on Internet connectivity. I am currently using the Telstra dial-up SMS service, but it will disappear soon. -Steve -----Original Message----- From: Paul Julian [mailto:paul@oxygennetworks.com.au] Sent: Wednesday, 21 June 2017 22:06 To: steve@digitronics.com.au; 'MikroTik Australia Public List' Subject: RE: [MT-AU Public] SMS from CRS125-24G-15 What about an email Steve, it would be heaps easier !

I saw that, but it is seriously short on detail about the '3G modem', now it is attached, and how to configure it. -Steve -----Original Message----- From: Paul Julian [mailto:paul@oxygennetworks.com.au] Sent: Wednesday, 21 June 2017 22:08 To: steve@digitronics.com.au; 'MikroTik Australia Public List' Subject: RE: [MT-AU Public] SMS from CRS125-24G-15 Try this Steve https://shop.duxtel.com.au/article_info.php?articles_id=25&osCsid=b54ne6tidc v4t4r5pbjl22qu56 Regards Paul -----Original Message----- From: Public [mailto:public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au] On Behalf Of Steve at Digitronics Sent: Wednesday, 21 June 2017 9:53 PM To: public@talk.mikrotik.com.au Subject: [MT-AU Public] SMS from CRS125-24G-15 I would like to be able to send SMSs from a dongle for the Telstra network attached to a CRS125-24G-15.

Hi Steve, 1. power off the router 2. insert the modem 3. power on the router 4. list ports ("/port print") 5. observe what ports are presented by the modem 6. execute the send txt (/tool sms send port=<port found at step 5> <destination mobile phone #> message="<your msg>" ) Substituting the relevant <variables> with the right values for your needs. Note that not all models will present sms functionality, but /most/ of them will/should ;) Cheers! Mike.
Thanks Mike. I take it 'modem' is the 3G/4G dongle. Does this assume that the dongle connects to the network on its own?

Hi Steve, Yes - in that case we are talking about a USB 'dongle' type modem :) Depending on the model, they will often authenticate to the network using just the SIM card but in other cases (especially when it is a third party unit not supplied by the carrier) you may need to make further configuration steps to connect to the mobile network. Either way, the modem DOES need to be connected to the mobile network to send TXT :) Cheers! Mike. them
Ps: found a possibly helpful presentation from Indonesia MUM last year here: https://mum.mikrotik.com/presentations/IN16/presentation_3929_1473411859.pdf Cheers! Mike.
Thanks Mike, That is a useful document, but it also glosses over the dongle a bit. It also doesn't explain what 'secret' is. PIN? Network access password? Dongle access password? Ideally, I don't want to spend days trying different dongles and working out different needs for configuration and authentication in order to get something going. I know, it is lazy, but I have plenty to do :-) If someone can say '*this* dongle works on Telstra for SMS and *this* is what is required for configuration and operation', I can happily avoid re-inventing that wheel. -Steve -----Original Message----- From: Public [mailto:public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au] On Behalf Of Mike Everest Sent: Thursday, 22 June 2017 09:18 To: 'MikroTik Australia Public List' Subject: Re: [MT-AU Public] SMS from CRS125-24G-15 Ps: found a possibly helpful presentation from Indonesia MUM last year here: https://mum.mikrotik.com/presentations/IN16/presentation_3929_1473411859.pdf Cheers!

Hi Steve, A colleague just spent a good couple of days trying to figure this out on a Optus Huawei dongle to send SMS from our network monitoring server... turns out the new Huawei dongle's have two modes, Hilink/router mode and Stick/modem mode. They default out of the box these days to Hilink/router mode where they act as a network device when you plug it in, which makes things easy for data setups which most everyone wants to use them for these days, however for those of us who still have a need to send old-school SMS you'll need to get it into Stick/modem mode to be able to access the AT command set. Take a look at http://blog.asiantuntijakaveri.fi/2015/07/convert-huawei-e3372h-153-from.htm... for some more details on changing mode.
