Preparation for installing the SMS PASSCODE  server

A RADIUS server (Windows Server 2003/2008 component) must be installed prior to installing the SMS PASSCODE™ server. For Windows Server 2008, as used in this example, the RADIUS server is installed by adding the NPS role or the Network Policy Server (Windows Server 2008 (R2)).

Prior to installing the SMS PASSCODE™ software, a GSM modem must be connected to the Windows Server in order to send SMS messages. SMS PASSCODE™ supports GSM modems by Cinterion (previously Siemens), such as the MC35i, MC52i, MC55i, TC65 or MC75 models.

A SIM card is required for the GSM modem in order to send SMS messages.
