Hi,

I noticed in another thread (closed to comments now) you had success with multiple Option ICON modems on the same server/same instance of NowSMS. Can you tell us if you used a USB hub or did you use multiple USB ports or were they converted to serial cable and into multiple serial ports?
Are there any specific conflict issues that we should look out for when using multiple Option ICONs at the same time?
Thanks!

Hi Cris,

I was not using a USB hub, just built in ports. If you do use a hub, power can be an issue. It needs to have its own power supply, as the modems use 500 mA, which is the maximum power that can be supplied to a port.
