Hello, I am a customer of Now SMS/MMS Gateway v2006.10.16.
For the last couple months the Now SMS/MMS software has been running perfectly, but in the last couple weeks an issue has occurred such that after around 7 minutes of starting the services I get the following error: Error Initializing SMSC Interface 'Sierra Wireless AirCard GPRS Model'. Interface is not available.

When this previously occurred it would usually just require a couple restarts of the services before it worked again, but this time it is not happening.

I have verified the interface is working on the system as expected using the AirCard Watcher program, where I can make phone calls, use data, and send SMS. If I disable the interface myself then the error message occurs within a minute and not the 7 for when the interface is indeed enabled.

Please let me know if there is any sort of action I need to do in order to fix this, and to prevent it from happening again in the future.

Thanks,
Pat

After upgrading the software to v2008.02.22 it still was not working. I then thought to myself "self, why not try removing the modem selection from Now SMS and try adding it back in", and there it was, back up and running.
