Checksum Error

[pda]

We are looking for messaging system to alert our Admins of problems with the network. I like this system for its ease of use but I am having a similar problem that rellis73 had (http://www.notepage.net/forum/posting.php?mode=newtopic&f=4) but I tried the two steps, shortening the ID and dropping the alpha, that the tech advised and still get the error.

My settings are:

Actually, since you're trying to send messages to the AT&T/Cingular network, the first thing I'd recommend doing is changing the TAP number to 800-909-4602 and resetting the ID/PIN in the recipient to the 10 digit number. Let's see if that clears it up.

Ok that worked great. Now I would like to run a command line to send messages. I am fairly new to writing scripts but have a working knowledge of how it works. What is the format? do I need the brackets? or switches? I have tried these...

net start C:\PageGate\sendpage.exe Joseph_strong tad This is from a script I wrote

C:\PageGate\sendpage.exe Joseph_strong tad This is from a script I wrote

C:\PageGate\sendpage.exe "Joseph_strong" "tad" "This is from a script I wrote"

sendpage.exe Joseph_strong tad This is from a script I wrote

sendpage.exe <Joseph_strong> <tad> <This is from a script I wrote>

[Tech Support]

Well, it really depends on what's going to be calling the command as to which command is going to be called. For example, if you're running a command prompt style batch file, you want to use sendpage.exe but if you're going to have another Windows based application call the command, you'll want to use sendpage32.exe

Regardless of which .exe you're calling, the format remains the same. It is:

sendpage.exe recipient sender message

sendpage32.exe recipient sender message

So, to use your example, this would be the correct one:

C:\PageGate\sendpage.exe Joseph_strong tad This is from a script I wrote

Now bear in mind that the GetAscii module is what actually uses and references the command line. So, if you haven't configured the polling directory and enabled the Getascii module, executing the commands won't do you much good.

The polling directory, by the way, can be set to any directory on your hard drive. You can even create a new directory just for the Getascii and use that one if you want.
