Hello forum!
I have Mikrotik RB3011 UiAS-RM (6.44.3) router, and huawei E3372s LTE usb-modem. I want to set SMS-alert when main internet connection is lost, and reserve channel via LTE is activated.
Huawei E3372s has 2 type of firmware: HiLink and Stick. When at HiLink mode, Mikrotik recognize modem as LTE interface, but when I try to send sms via Winbox, it’s tells me that “device isn’t supported”. When in Stick mode, mikrotik can’t see modem at all.
Can someone help me?
Hi! I have a similar setup ( RB3011 and Huawei E8372 ). LTE failover works great however I cannot send SMS from the router through the LTE interface. This particular modem has it’s own management page (it’s like a mini router) and SMS works great from there so the problem seems to be communication between RB and modem.
SW version on RB is: 6.46.1
Error is “Modem Unsupported”.
It’s not a big issue, I’ve configured EMAIL alerts but it would be nice to have.

HiLink mode means you use modem firmware in version 22 and web-ui in v17.
You can write or re-write some firmware from internet who active Web-API and use “http://192.168.8.1/api/sms/send-sms”.
API Description in Polish, what I can use: http://www.bez-kabli.pl/viewtopic.php?t=42168#p498725
Next you can use the MikroTik /tools fetch to send HTTP POST and send that way SMS.

but when I try to send sms via Winbox, it’s tells me that “device isn’t supported”.
Correct. Tools>SMS cannot use LTE device with minimum etc. functionality.
.
When in Stick mode, mikrotik can’t see modem at all.
When you program other firmware v21 to use “Stick” mode then you should see the new usb1 port. Next use PPP-out1 to reach internet. E3372 can be access by AT command’s. I have not a AT Command manual or other help to reach that way a SMS functionality. Because PPP mode is slower then LTE/Hi.Link and PPP have 4channels who can be changed queue after ROS upgrade etc. who need special script to detect good data-channel and correct a connection and … and I not use PPP any more.

Answer is the same like upper post.
I see only not-official FW version for E8372h
Thanks for the info. It is very important to me that the stick remains functional as it is now so I will not play with the firmware, SMS alert is not that important to me. But thanks for your input!!!
