| If you would, open the Basic Alert Manager and go in to the properties of the Alert in question. Once there, go under the Alert Trigger and in the Alert Trigger, go to the Action tab. What do you have listed as the Alert Trigger Actions? |

| Okay, knowing that, if you go in to the PageGate Admin and go to the Interfaces - GetAscii - Settings - Advanced Polling - Recipient section, is it set on Static or Dynamic? |

| Actually, just create the group in the program and set the group as the Static Recipient for the messages in the Advanced Polling - Recipients section. |

| No, in PageGate Admin, find the Groups section. Right click on it and left click on Add to add a new group in to the program, then go to the Members sub-section of the group and add anyone who should be a member, then specify that group you just created in Pagegate in the Advanced Polling - Recipients section. |

Right, doing it this way would allow you to only send to one group. if you need to send to multiple groups, you'll need to reconfigure a few parts of both PageGate AND NPM.
On the PageGate side of things, you're going to need to take a copy of the sendpage32.exe in the PageGate program directory and place it in the \\hpnetnpm\PageGateData\ascii\ folder, if it doesn't already exist there.
Next, you'll need to add a new line to the Advanced Polling - Files table that is as follows:
Recipient: *
From: Whatever you like
Files: *.asc
Path: \\hpnetnpm\PageGateData\ascii\
File Type: Standard
Then, on the NPM side of things, you'll need to add an additional Alert Action to each alert. The Alert Action is going to be to Execute an External Program and you're going to tell it to execute \\hpnetnpm\PageGateData\ascii\sendpage32.exe
Now, there are three different variables that will have to be passed after the executable, so include those in the Alert Action line as well. Your whole command needs to be:
sendpage32 <recipient> <sender> <message>
Recipient - This needs to be the name of a recipient or group in PageGate. Whatever you enter here is who NPM is going to tell PageGate to message when this Alert Action triggers.
Sender - This is what's going to show up on the phones or pagers as who/what sent the message.
Message - You can use any number of Orion variables in this section or you can type out a static message. |

You literally type them in after the executable. So, in Orion, you would reference the command to execute quite literally as:
\\hpnetnpm\PageGateData\ascii\sendpage32.exe jt23 Orion Test Message.
That would send a message to a recipient or group named jt23 from Orion that said "Test Message". |
