Using iSMS as an Ethernet cellular modem

[Campbell Elder]

Using the Telnet feature for the cellular modems I am able to connect to the iSMS cellular modems via Telnet and launch GPRS etc via simple AT commands.

Are there any restrictions in the iSMS software that would cause issues?

Potentially we have the ability to use the iSMS as a GSM modem pool.

Hi Campbell,

When a telnet session to an iSMS modem is connected, it will end whatever process the iSMS software was running with that modem, and block the iSMS software from using that modem. So the iSMS software won’t interfere with your telnet session. Once the telnet session ends, the iSMS will start using that modem again.

There may be issues if you repeatedly start and end modem telnet sessions over a long period of time. A periodic reboot would clear these issues though.

Regards,

Bryon
