Integration with Continental Access CA-3000 Card Access Security System

Part 1 — Set Up the SNPP Server

1. Create a directory where the SNPP Server and its files will reside. We recommend: C:\PageGateData\SNPP\
2. In Windows, browse to the PageGate installation directory.
3. Move the snppserver.exe, pininfo.txt and snpp.ini files to the folder you created in step 1.
4. Open snpp.ini in Notepad. This file controls the behavior of the PageGate SNPP Server.

   If you are running the evaluation version of the PageGate SNPP Server, it will stop itself every 3–5 days and/or after 500 messages, whichever comes first.
5. Change the OutputFolder= value to the directory you created in step 1.
6. Change the LogFolder= value to your PageGate Logging directory. If unsure, open the PageGate Admin and go to Program — Settings.
7. Save the snpp.ini file and close Notepad.

Part 2 — Configure pininfo.txt

This file tells the SNPP server what range of numbers can be passed to the server. The format is: "Starting PIN","Ending PIN","recipient type"

1. Open pininfo.txt in Notepad.
2. For ID numbers to be recognized as a recipient name (using numeric recipient names in PageGate):

   "0001","9999","PG_Recipient"
3. For ID numbers passed through PageGate as intact IDs to another source in an ad-hoc range, use the name of a Recipient in PageGate whose type is Ad-Hoc:

   "0000001","4999999","adhoc1"

   For a 10-digit ID:

   Static: "0000000001","9999999999","PG_Recipient"
   Ad-hoc: "0000000001","9999999999","adhocrecipientname"

Part 3 — Install SNPP Server as a Windows Service

1. Open a command prompt.
2. Change directory to the SNPP Server's program directory.
3. Type the following and press Enter: snppserver /install
4. Exit the command prompt.
5. Open the Services list in Windows.
6. Go to the Properties of the PageGate SNPP Server service.
7. Change the Startup Type to Automatic and Start the Service.

Part 4 — Configure GetAscii to Read SNPP Output

1. Open the PageGate Admin.
2. Go to Interfaces — GetASCII — Settings.
3. In the Polling Directory, specify the PageGate SNPP Server's output folder.
4. Put a check in Enabled.
5. Click Apply.
