Hi
Has anyone ever used SMS notification with The Dude.
I would like to send out an sms if our internet link goes down, I wont be able to use an internet sms gateway as there will be now link to it.

Are you going to have a phone connected to your dude server?
If your intenet connection is down how will you send sms?
Just create a new notification that executes a program.
That program sends the sms message to the phone that is connected to your dude server.
On that note I am sure you can run a dial up adapter from a batch job… if you want to dial into another ISP to send the sms.
That would be easier and cheaper if you have a dialup account already.
The batch job would look like this…
RASDial | FindStr /i “My Dialup” > nul 2>&1
If ErrorLevel 1 RASPhone -d “My Dialup”
HTH
I am currently using this setup:
A SMS gateway that accepts email and forwards it as an SMS message
A commnd prompt emailer that accepts arguments
I created a batch file that will formulate the message according to the input parameters, (Although I’ve faced difficulties passing arguments from Dude) anyway, I created few ready made messages that will be triggered as locally executed command.
Also you can follow up this thread for similar issue:

Hey hkunnana
How does your SMS gateway send a SMS message if the internet connection is down?
I am not using the Internet to send SMS messages.
I have an SMS gateway machine that was first connected to a cellular phone directly, and now it is connected via leased line with the local cellular communication company.
The SMS gateway is used by various applications in the business, and I am using it to send Network Alerts as well.
Oh that is cool. We might do something like that in the future.
Thanks for your reply

What hardware you using for the gateway
As for the SMS gateway, it is a normal PC with Windows XP on it, Actually I have two gateways now (one on a PC, and the other on a VMware machine)
It is not the hardware, it is the S/W (NowSMS)!
Thanks, How do you send the alerts from The Dude to the gateway
I think you should know how your gateway accepts requests. Actually I am not too deep in NowSMS s/w, all I know is that it accepts SMTP and http requests.
I was given an SMTP account for the network alerts and I use a mailing s/w that accepts arguments.
Hello!
I have setted up Dude on my RB/433ah on Ros 3.20.
The Notification-Button shows only “execute locally”, no “execute on server”! Why?
I can also send no SMS over my connected Gsm-Modem… With winbox and terminal “/tool smsm send” i can.
