Hi I am using a Nokia 7210 phone connected via DKU-5 Nokia cable. The MSOUT log indicates modem failure. However when performing the 'Test' from the Now SMS/MMS Gateway v4.11 'SMSC' tab, the results are given as 'Modem successfully tested!'. The messages that were sent before the test are then successfully delivered. Also the event log under the 'Service' is not getting refreshed. Are these configuration issues which are causing the software to loose connection until the 'Test' is performed and also to not refresh the log?

Hi Bryce, I have a similar problem: 2007-05-27 00:49:41,46590C7F.req,192.168.0.185,+12059189000,Retry Pending - ERROR - Modem Response (2): ERROR -- MultiTech Systems USB GSM_GPRS Wireless Modem #2 It works out fine. I can TEST the modem and messages go thru. I'm just concerned if this might cause a problem cause I see 5 or 8 of these in a row. Please let me know. Thanks. RS | |||||

Hi all, For the first posting ... "Modem Successfully Tested" only indicates that NowSMS can talk to the modem. It does not mean that any messages can actually be sent by the modem. In the case of "CMS ERROR: 500", this is an error being returned by the modem. Unfortunately, this error code means that an "unknown" error has occurred ... which is not particularly helpful. However, our experience is that many phone modems return this error code when they lose their signal for connecting to the mobile operator, or when the signal is very weak. So check to see how strong your signal is, and you might need to physically relcated the device in order to acquire a better signal. For the second posting ... The modem is responding with a generic "ERROR" response. This is not necessarily a problem if it is sporadic. The operator network might be busy and not able to accept a message. Also, this can happen if the modem is receiving a message at the time that it is attempting to send. So if you are sending and receiving message simultaneously, you may encounter this. -bn |
