|
| Recipient Type - PageGate supports four different recipient types: Normal, Multi-Page, Ad-Hoc, and Email. Normal recipients are used most of the time. They represent a single pager or wireless messaging device. Multi-Page recipients can be created to accept multiple recipients within a single message (see the Multi-Page section under each of the interfaces for more detailed information). Ad-Hoc recipients can be created to accept ID/PIN numbers in messages, and use them for delivery to carriers (see the Ad-Hoc section under each of the interfaces for more detailed information. Please note that the Ad-Hoc feature is only available with licenses of 5000 or greater). Email recipients are used to setup mailboxes for email use only. There is no paging capabilities connected to these accounts. PageGate can be used as a standard mail server for company email by setting up recipients of the 'Email' type. Depending on the type of recipient chosen, some of the following fields may not be shown.
|
|
|
| Carrier - a list of all the available carriers. Choose the carrier that this recipient uses.
|
|
|
| Failover - if a message can not be delivered to this recipient, it is sent the failover recipient (or group)
|
|
|
| ID/PIN - the ID or PIN number for the pager, phone, or wireless device
|
|
|
| Email To - the email address of the pager, phone, or wireless device
|
|
|
| Phone Num - the phone number of the pager
|
|
|
| Max Chars - The number of characters PageGate will send to this recipient from a message. If this number is greater than the Max Characters setting for the carrier, the message will be broken up into multiple messages (according to the carrier's max character settings), numbered, and then sent.
|
|
|
| Notify Code - If the 'Notify Only' setting is enabled, this message will be sent instead of the actual message text.
|
|
|
| Notify Only - check this if the recipient should receive the 'Notify Code' (above) rather than the actual message. This setting is commonly used with numeric pagers.
|
|
|
| Alpha - check this box if the recipient's device (pager) accepts both letters and numbers
|
|
|
| Reliapage - when reliapage is enabled, PageGate will sequentially number each message it sends out to the recipient. This is useful for detecting if a message has been missed (a number is missing). Messages then can be re-sent by using the 'Requeue' function.
|
|
|
| Don't send 'from' - checking this box will stop PageGate from sending the sender's name (the 'from' field) at the beginning of each message.
|
|
|
| Don't send 'from' domain - checking this box will remove the domain name portion of a sender's address, from the 'from' field of the message. This can save characters especially when a typical message sender has a long domain name in their email address.
|
|
|
| Drop non-printable characters - many pagers don't accept formatting characters like carriage returns, line feeds, and tabs. Check this box if you don't want these 'not printable characters' sent out in the message.
|
|
|
| Send Subject - if the message is being delivered via email, PageGate will send a subject line with the message.
|
|
|
| Four Extra Fields - these are user definable data fields that are stored with each recipient. The labels for these fields can be set under the 'Database' object. If the GUI Client interface is used, the information in these fields can be viewed by the users, and the recipient lists can be filtered by this information.
|
|
|
| Hold Messages - the hold feature makes PageGate put messages, for a recipient or group, on hold until a later time. This is usually used to hold messages during the night, and then send all the queued messages in the morning at a reasonable hour. It may be useful to set up two recipients for a single pager/phone. One which will always get messages at any time, and another for less urgent messages, that will hold messages overnight.
|
|
|
|
|
| Mailbox Name - by default, the email address of a PageGate recipient is the same as the recipient's name. This can be changed by entering a different mailbox name here.
|
|
|
| Forward Copy To - if you would like a copy of every message received by this recipient, sent to an email address, enter an email address here.
|
| Enable POP Access to Messages - messages received by a PageGate recipient can be stored in a mailbox, making them accessible from regular email clients (such as Outlook, Netscape, Eudora, etc.). Check this box to enable this option.
|
|
|
| POP Password - If the 'Enable POP Access to Messages' box is checked, you must provide a password here to protect the mailbox from unauthorized access.
|
|
|
| POP Mail Collection - PageGate can collect messages for each recipient from one or more mailboxes hosted elsewhere. Click on this button to display the setup screen for this feature.
|
|
|
| Email Aliases - each PageGate recipient can accept messages from more than one local email address. These additional names are called 'aliases'. Click on this button to display the setup screen for this option.
