Integrate Honeywell Building Controls with PageGate

1. Open the PageGate Admin.
2. Go to Interfaces — GetTAP — Settings.
3. Set the Serial Port field to match the serial port the Honeywell system will be feeding data into.
4. Set the Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity and Stop Bits to precisely match the Honeywell system's sending parameters.
5. Set the Init String to:

   direct

   You'll need to type that value directly in the field.
6. Check Enabled.
7. Click Apply. If prompted, select yes to enable this for all existing groups and recipients.

Step 1 — Set Up the SNPP Directory

1. Create the directory:

   C:\PageGateData\SNPP\
2. In Windows, browse to the PageGate installation directory.
3. Move the snppserver.exe, pininfo.txt and snpp.ini files from the PageGate program directory to:

   C:\PageGateData\SNPP\

Step 2 — Modify snpp.ini

1. Open the snpp.ini file in Notepad.

   This file controls the behavior of the PageGate SNPP Server. If you are running the evaluation version of the PageGate SNPP Server, it will stop itself every 3–5 days and/or after 500 messages, whichever comes first.
2. Change the OutputFolder= value to:

   OutputFolder=C:\PageGateData\SNPP\
3. Change the LogFolder= value to:

   LogFolder=C:\PageGateData\Logs\
4. Save the snpp.ini file and close Notepad.

Step 3 — Configure pininfo.txt

1. Open the pininfo.txt file in Notepad.
2. This file contains valid PIN number information for the PageGate SNPP Server. The format of entries is:
   "Starting_PIN", "Ending_PIN", "Ad-Hoc_Recipient"
3. To pass PIN numbers through to PageGate as the recipient's name (using numeric recipient names in PageGate), use the text PG_Recipient. For example:
   For all 4-digit IDs:
   "1000","9999","PG_Recipient"
   
   For all 10-digit IDs:
   "0000000001","9999999999","PG_Recipient"

Step 4 — Set the SNPP Server to Run as a Windows Service

1. Open a command prompt.
2. Change directory to the PageGate directory.
3. Type the following and press Enter:
   snppserver /reinstall
4. Exit the command prompt.
5. Go to Start → Run in Windows.
6. Type the following and press Enter:
   net start pgsnppserver
   This creates a new System Service in Windows for the PageGate SNPP Server and also starts it.

Step 5 — Enable the GetAscii Module in PageGate

1. Open the PG Admin.
2. Go to Interfaces — GetAscii — Settings.
3. Set the Polling Directory to:
   C:\PageGateData\SNPP\
4. Check Enabled.
5. Click Apply. If prompted, select yes to enable this for all existing groups and recipients.
