Hi,

We currently have SolarWinds Orion and want to enable SMS alerting. We are not able to connect a USB or serial modem into the server but we have a Telstra Mobile Broadband 4G USB dongle plugged into a workstation with the PageGate evaluation installed.

The plan was to have Orion email the workstation with the contents of SMS message and then have PageGate forward the SMS to the appropriate help desk member(s) mobile phone. However, the PageGate software presents a somewhat overwhelming number of options and I'm not entirely sure how to proceed.

I have a couple questions for now:
1) Has anyone had any experience using a similar Telstra dongle? It shows up in Modems as a "Sierra Wireless WWAN Modem".
2) What would be the best method of sending the SMS messages? Location is Australia and will only require SMS messaging to mobile phones within Australia.

Any assistance would be massively appreciated!

Cheers
