 Posted: Thu Mar 29, 2007 10:45 am Post subject: TAP -> SMTP |
 |
|
I have an existing product that will notify users of alarms via dialup modem to TAP servers. I am looking for a solution that will allow emailing without modifying the originating device.
Will PageGate with the TAP-in module allow sending emails to non phone or SMS devices (ie standard email accounts)?
Thanks for any help or advice.

| Yes, it can. It can take incoming TAP messages via the GetTAP interface, then translate those messages to outbound SMTP messages to recipients that you've configured.

| Thanks for the quick response. One more question, though. Is there a lookup table in the PageGate software that translates an ID number sent through TAP into an email address, or is it possible to send the actual email address in the TAP conversation?

The way it works is that you have to name the recipients the phone number the TAP is going to send.
For example, let's say we have a recipient called Jeremy.
Your TAP system is going to send 7815820220 as Jeremy.
Now, if you name the 'Jeremy' recipient 7815820220, then set the recipient's email address to support@notepage.com, any time your TAP system sends a message to PageGate, PageGate will send that message to the email address specified.

Alternatively, you can ise the AdHoc recipient feature. You can extract the ID from the inbound TAP session_________________ Aaron D. Osgood

Again, thanks for the speedy replies.
What I'm really looking for is a TAP -> SMTP gateway without any database required in the middle. After doing some quick reading, the TAP spec doesn't appear to allow for anything beyond 10 digits and no punctuation is allowed. So, it appears that what I am looking for does not exist. The solution may be burying the email address in the message, and then parsing it out.
ie.
ID=00000001
MSG=[mailto:joe@domain.com]This is a test message.
I guess I could do some scripting after PageGate, but it would be nice to have a simple, clean, single product solution.
