We have been using this modem since January on a production system
that runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with SMSLib and it generally
works. We have noticed that once every few days the modem seems to
reset itself - it just stops responding to SMSLib. Most of the time
SMSLib restarts the modem and everything continues with no problems
but once every few weeks SMSLib is unable to reset the modem and we
have to stop and the program manually.
A couple of things to know about this modem:
You have to make sure to correctly specify the model and manufacturer
("Huawei" and "E160") when creating the modem in SMSLib so that SMSLib
uses the custom handler for this modem otherwise you will run into
strange intermittent problems.
This modem creates two virtual serial ports as has been described in
earlier posts. On a Windows system only one of the two ports will
show up in the device manager but both will show up if you enumerate
the ports using certain windows APIs. You should use the port that
shows up in the device manager rather than the other port. In our
experience this is always the higher numbered of the two ports. If
you use the other port, you will not get notifications for incoming
messages.
Good luck,
Josh
