Hello ,
I’m trying to send a SMS ,but I get en error - "TimeOut "
using RB411 V6.23 modem MC7700 LTE

/tool sms send usb2 phone-number=+9**56****** message="test" type=class-0
 channel=0         
failure: timeout




/tool sms print 
  receive-enabled: no
             port: usb2
          channel: 0
           secret: 0000
   allowed-number: 
     keep-max-sms: 0
          sim-pin:

also when I try to “receive Enabled”
I get another error
Couldn’t change SMS Setting - timeout (60)

what could it be?

Thanks ,

hi,

I have the same error with Sierra MC7710 LTE minipcie card:

if you are using sierra modem as an lte interface it is not possible to send the sms.

but for MC7700 you can set this setting

/port firmware set ignore-directip-modem=yes

it will change form LTE mode to serial with ppp-out interface and then you can send sms

this I know , and it’s working
but why can’t I use “LTE” and send SMS?

also what is the different between using the modem as a LTE and ppp-out interface?
