I can't seem to get Pagegate to send a text to a Cingular Cell phone. (Or any other cell phone) I have the Get TAP setup but the TAP log says

11/10/04 1:57:05 PM Warning. Unable to access modem: Procedure: repeat_timer. Retrying...
11/10/04 1:57:20 PM Warning. Unable to access modem: Procedure: repeat_timer. Retrying...
11/10/04 1:57:36 PM Program Halted. Modem error: 8005 Port already open in Procedure: repeat_timer

11/10/04 1:57:41 PM Time synchronized with scheduler
11/10/04 1:58:01 PM Warning. Unable to access modem: Procedure: repeat_timer. Retrying...



We are using pagegate successfully with Cellular page pagers but we are wanting to get rid of the pagers and page our techs cell phones directly.


PageGate v4 is being ran on a NT4 server (not sure if that is an issue or not)

GetTAP is only for taking messages into PageGate. GetTAP

You should disable GetTAP.

Mesages should go to the carrier via your Dialer(s).

Ok GetTAP is disabled, still will not send. When I send a message from my GUI client it never sends, it goes from pending to bad.

My settings for Cingular carrier are :

Protocol: TAP
Number: 18009094602
Baud Rate: 1200
Parity: Even
Data Bits: 7
Stop Bits: 1

(7, E, 1)

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have also tried the other Cingular number.

We will need to see the connection attempt(s) in your dialer log (PGDial1.log).

Please see this post: http://www.notepage.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=533

Once you have debugging "on", send a test message to your Cingular recipient. Then post the connection attempt (from PGDial1.log) here. Remember to remove (or "x" out) the recipient ID/Pin from the forum post.

Remove the "Carrier" Init String (highlight and "Delete") in the settings.

Send another message.

If it fails again, post the attempt.

Remove the "1" from your ID/Pin. Cingular TAP terminals use ten digit ID/Pins. You are passing eleven.

Same thing with 10, from what I can tell we are getting connected to Cingular's TAP terminal....is there something that I have to have Cinuglar turn on for my # before it will work with TAP? Or is TAP only for pagers and not for cell phones?

Try another terminal number.

The TAP Terminal at 1-800-469-5351 accepts your ID/Pin.

Also, check your recipient settings to ensure that "Alpha" IS checked, and "Notify Only" is NOT checked. It looks like you are sending the default "Notify Code" instead of a text message.

Thanks for the help. I got it to send and it says the message sent successful in the dialer log. After around 30min the messages have still not reached my phone, i'm assuming this because of something on Cingular's side?

You should definitely check with Cingular. The TAP terminal acknowledged the message for that ID/Pin.

Actually, you should have received a message from us as well, with the text "test qqq".

Also you may want manually edit your Dialer's "Init String", removing the ",0" from the end. That may improve your modem's communication with TAP terminals.

Hi,

Cingular (due to their absorption of AT&T) is having some "issues" with their TAP terminals in many markets. Some of their CRM (Customer Relations Management) system(s) require a software toggle to be checked for a specific cellular number to allow text messaging. You will need to contact Cingular and ensure that your phone's account is configured to accept text messages from an "outside source" or "3rd party".

Interestingly enough, NexTel and US Cellular have the same restrictions.

Let us know how you make out

Once I called Cinuglar and had them "add" Text messaging to my account the pages now go thru almost instantly. Thanks for the excellent tip.
