Operator phone number

If you did not enter a phone number on the first step in the startup guide you can enter it in the My settings page, without the phone number. Network Monitor is unable to send the operator an SMS notification. You are able to access the My settings page when you logon after the startup guide is completed.

Tested SMS devices

  • Falcom Samba
  • Falcom Swing
  • Falcom Twist
  • Nokia 30
  • Z-text fixed line SMS modem

In addition to this list almost all modern GSM phones and modem works. The requirement is that the device should support Text mode sms and that it can be connected to a com port. It may also be connected to an USB port but the device driver must be able to emulate a standard serial port so it can be discovered by Network Monitor.
