With any model console server you can use email-to-SMS services to send SMS alert notifications to mobile devices.
Almost all mobile phone carriers provide an SMS gateway service that forwards email to mobile phones on their networks.
There’s also a wide selection of SMS gateway aggregators who provide email to SMS forwarding to phones on any
carriers.
Alternately if your console server has an embedded or externally attached cellular modem you will be given the option to
send the SMS directly over the carrier connection.

In the SMTP Settings field in the Alerts & Logging: SMTP &SMS menu select SMS Gateway. An SMS via
Email Gateway field will appear
Enter the IP address of the outgoing mail Server SMS gateway
Select a Secure Connection (if applicable) and specify the SMTP port to be used (if other than the default port
25)
You may also enter a Sender email address which will appear as the “from” address in all email notifications sent

been received from authorized senders. So you may need to assign a specific authorized email address for the
console server
You may also enter a Username and Password as some SMS gateway service providers use SMTP servers
which require authentication
