What is the Beepster Jr? It is a rather small program which can send
alpha and digital messages to personal pagers from a standard PC
compatible computer with a 1200 baud modem.
In the shareware (unregistered) form, it will handle up to 15 users and
their pagers. The registered version is able to handle up to 30 users.
Once the software is registered, the right side of the display is used
for the second row of 15 users.
The command line is used to configure the com port.
BEEPJR COM0 find an active modem
BEEPJR COM1 for com1
BEEPJR COM2 for com2
BEEPJR COM3 for com3
BEEPJR COM4 for com4
BEEPJR DETECT show a list of active com ports.
Once the system has been configured, it will not need to be specified
the next time you run the program. If you change your modem port address
you will need to change the configuration as well.
You should contact your paging service provider and find out their
protocol, baud rate, and telephone number. Once you have this
information you are ready to configure the System Setup.
If you have to dial the telephone area code to call the number, you also
need to enter the area code as well. On all calls which do not require
you to enter the area code to dial, do NO enter the area code! This is
how the system decides how to dial the number!
The Dial Command string may need to be changed if your telephone system
needs a prefix digit to get an outside line. If there is nothing in the
Dial command string, it will default to "ATDT" for a standard tone dial.
Once you have the pager information collected, you can lock the database
to prevent anyone from modifying the database file. This is done by
setting a DOS environment variable on the computer running the program.
add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET BJLOCK=YES
To unlock the database, perform this command at the DOS prompt and then
start up the Beepster Jr. program:
SET BJLOCK=
