- Installing super pager
- ----------------------
- Unzip files to a directory called \PAGEOS2
-
- How to setup:
- -------------
- There are two configuration files, the first is called: PAGE.INI.
- The first line of the file must have the com port, baud rate, parity,
- word lenth, stop bits and pager system type.
- Example:
- COM1:1200,E,7,1 TAP
- or
- COM1:1200,E,7,1 SCRIPT
-
- The next line must have the pager system phone number.
- Example:
- 555-1234
- The next line must have the modem init string. This line is very important. With some older
- modem or off brands they will not work right tell it has been setup correctly. The modem will
- need to be setup to hangup when DTR is droped(&D2) and the host baud rate to match connect
- speed(S37=0).
- Example for Hayes 28.8 V.34
- AT&Q0S36=1S37=0S48=128N0B1&D2
- Example for Hayes 2400
- ATL0
- The lines following have pager number and names. They are in the format of:
- PAGER_NUMBER NAME_OF_PERSON
- Example:
- 555-2051 Brent Borghese
- 555-2092 Darren Smith
- 555-2053 Janis Taler
- 555-2124 Mr. Bill
-
- If your system does not support the TAP(System Type) protocol the second
- configuration file is: "PAGE.SCR". It is used to send the pages to your
- pager system. Not all pager systems are the same so some tuneing might
- need to be done. The file is in the format of Send String, Expect String.
- There are some esc sequences in the send string, they are shown below:
- \r - Sends a return(0x0D)
- \n - Sends a return and a line feed(0x0D,0x0A)
- %i - Sends the persons pager ID
- %m - Sends the message
- %p - Sends the systems phone number
- %d - Two second pause
- ^a - Sends a control charature, the charature can be form a-z
-
- There is one esc sequences in the expect string, it is shown below:
- \r - Expect a return(0x0D)(^m does same thing)
- ^a - Expect a control charature, the charature can be form a-z
-
- Here is a sample script:
- AT DT %p\r
- CONNECT
- \r
- \r
- M\r
- RETURN.
- %i\r
- Message, then RETURN.
- %m\r
- then RETURN.

-
- Log file
- --------
- All pages are loged to: paged.log. Note that only the pager server(paged.exe)
- logs to the log file.
-
- Using Standalone PM Pager
- -------------------------
- Run pmpage.exe from the pager directory. Select name from the list, enter
- the message and click page button. If the pager server is running the PM pager
- will send a message to the server and the server will page the person.
-
- Using pager server
- --------------------
- Run paged.exe from the pager directory. Once the pager server is running the
- pager clients can be run to submit pages to the server. There are two clients
- included a command line version and a pm version.
-
- Using PM Pager as a client to the server
- ----------------------------------------
- Run pmpage.exe from the pager directory. Select time for page to occur and
- select name from the list, enter the message and click page button.
