Not sure how to be sure the GetAscii dir is available to other systems. The Windows share for the entire PageGate folder is available to "Everyone".

Not having any luck so far, but still playing with it. I have a definite lack of skill regarding unix systems (sender).

Debbi

From what I can see, yes.

I have had no problem sending pages from our Orion Windows server to the server that has the PageGate program and modem, but now we would like to send pages from Statseeker, which does not run on Windows. Has anyone done this before? I think it runs on FreeBSD.

Debbi

So you are saying that the .mdb file will not have refrences to the D: drive that would have to be manually updated?

Thanks.

I am going to need to move our PageGate installation (running as a service) to a different PC. The pagegate executables and db currently live on the D: drive, Windows 2003 R2 x64 SP2, and I am going to have to install on the C: drive on the new box, Windows XP Professional, SP3. I am running version 4.0 of PageGate

What is the best process for moving this installation? I do actually still have the 4.0 install file, if it will work on XP. I am concerned that the db will have a lot of references to the D: drive.

If there is a document that tells me how to do this, will you please provide a link?

Thanks.

I was indeed misunderstanding and now it works perfectly. The fast forum responses here are so gratifying. You guys rock!

I am not understanding what executable path to put into the orion alert trigger. If this is a workaround to resetting the path Orion uses, how shall I reference the sendpage32 executable that is located on the other server?

Debbi

Just need a little detail...

1. Can the directory be anywhere on the orion server?
2. When you say "make sure the PageGate system is given full permissions" do you mean one of the PageGate services? Which one?

Thanks!

Debbi

OK, here is what ended up working. I shared the PageGate folder on my Pagegate/modem box, Hillsdale.
This is the string that worked from the command line on the Kiwi box:

\\hillsdale\pagegate\sendpage32 -dir=\\hillsdale\pagegate debbi MrSender test message

In Kiwi, use the Run External Program action, and under Program Filename put the first stuff:
\\hillsdale\pagegate\sendpage32
Under Command Line Options put the rest: -dir=\\hillsdale\pagegate debbi MrSender test message

Maybe this will help someone else.

Debbi

The getascii log shows nothing from my attempts this AM. :(

We use getascii for sending our Orion messages from the server where PageGate and the modem reside (servername is Hillsdale).

When I test the action from Kiwi I see a command prompt flash by and it says the action tested good. However, I never get a page. Similarly, when I do the action at the command prompt:
KiwiServer>//hillsdale/Pagegate/sendpage32 debbi MrSender test message
The command prompt flashes by but I never get a page. Is there a log in pagegate that would tell me if the program is even seeing the command? I do not see any file in the pagegate log that has updated when I sent the command. Also, I do not see any Security event log entries indicating a failed login.

Thanks. -Debbi

Possible to create action in Kiwi Syslog server that can send syslog message to PageGate and modem that reside on different computer? -Debbi

Is there any way to do a page, without relying on our data network or the Internet, besides TAP? We use Nextel phones, but would use a different carrier if needed. Thanks. -Debbi
