WAP LTE kit and port SMS

Valerio5000 · June 12, 2018, 10:14pm

Hello to all

I wanted to know if the Mikrotik WAP lte Kit with included modem and LTE / 4G data SIM supports SMS. If I go to “tools> sms”, I find “Unknown” in the port and also finds nothing from the terminal with “port print”.

Ros and updated firmware.

Help me

Yes, it does support sending and receiving (/tool sms receive-enabled=yes). The port is what you named the interface in /interface. Make shure it’s enabled.

You can use this feature to remotely trigger your device to book a daily datarate via SMS and go online by sending a SMS to the device. That’s cool.

Also here is a good blog about how to update the modem firmware: https://blog.effenberger.org/2018/06/09/firmware-des-mikrotik-r11e-lte-aktualisieren/

please use the Console interface for configuring the port setting for the SMS.

Thanks to everyone for the support, I followed the guide and I updated the model to the V008 version but I still do not see any port under “tools> sms”. The “/ print port” command returns:

[admin@Router_Vittoria] > /port print
Flags: I - inactive 
 #   DEVICE NAME                     CHANNELS USED-BY                   BAUD-RATE
[admin@Router_Vittoria] >

For the rest, the modem and the connection work well

Hello!
Is there any progress on that topic, as I am having the exactly same issue - lte modem is not listed under /port print and I cannot send SMS?
I updated the RouterOS (6.42.4), board firmware and modem firmware (MikroTik_CP_2.160.000_v008).

This is a huge issue for me, as I’m using a prepaid service that can be refilled only by sending a SMS.

Anyone from the support team?

Valerio5000 · June 28, 2018, 6:12am

I have not solved

OK, I am patient enough - I can push the topic up every couple of days until someone from MikroTik’s technical support decides to respond…

/tool sms set port=lte1

Hello antonsb,

Thanks for your input. Unfortunately this doesn’t resolve the issue:

[admin@MikroTik] /tool sms> set port=lte1
[admin@MikroTik] /tool sms> send phone-number=0882340800 message=test
failure: missing port value
[admin@MikroTik] /tool sms> send phone-number=0882340800 message=test port=lte1
failure: ERROR: 500

i dont see the lte modem under ports,
but using the following command in cli can send sms:

[admin@MikroTik] /tool sms> send phone-number=5551234567890 message=test port=lte1

set port=lte1 before the send does not help i have to give the port argument with the send command.

Sending sms ist only possible with cli, on winbox i cannot set the port (dorpdown only show unknown)

I really cannot understand why the support team does not want to address the issue…

Up!

Have you opened a case with the support team ?

3dfx · August 13, 2018, 6:33am

Yes, I’ve wrote to the support one week ago and I received no answer, apart from the automatic reply.

3dfx · August 15, 2018, 11:07am

I finally received feedback from the support!
I updated to v6.43rc56 and this seems to fix the functionality to send and receive through the console! The Winbox v3,16 tool still doesn’t work (maybe the new version), but that’s not so important.

nikc · August 28, 2018, 7:53am

v6.43rc56 fixes for me via terminal also …

Be lovely to have via the gui ?
