To import a Comma Separated Values text file in to NotePager Pro to add or update Carriers, the file must be formatted very, very specifically.
The specific data structure of each record is as follows:
"Version","Name","PhoneNumber","ModemSettings","MaxChars","InitString","MessageLimit","DialType","AuthType","AuthUser","AuthPassword","RelayMail","RelayServer","Priority"
Field
|
Description and Values
|
Version
|
This field declares the version of the import file and should be set to: 500
|
Name
|
This field assigns the name of the carrier to be imported. Names should be assigned with alphanumeric characters. Special characters such as ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) + = [ ] { } / ? \ | ; : ' " , < > and spaces are disallowed from this field.
|
PhoneNumber
|
This field value means different things for different protocols.
If this carrier is configured to use a dialing protocol (TAP, TONE or UCP), this field declares the phone number to dial.
If this carrier is configured to use the SMTP protocol, this field declares the Sending Domain and MUST match the email domain of the network on which the PC is a member.
|
ModemSettings
|
This field value means different things for different protocols.
If this carrier is configured to use a dialing protocol (TAP, TONE or UCP), this field declares communication parameters to use and should be set to: BaudRate,Parity,DataBits,StopBits. For example: 1200,e,7,1
If this carrier is configured to use the SMTP protocol, this field declares the port to use.
|
MaxChars
|
This field assigns the maximum number of characters that can be sent in a single message. For an SMS carrier, this value should be set to 160. For a paging carrier, this value should be set to 240.
|
InitString
|
If this carrier is configured to use a dialing protocol (TAP, TONE or UCP), this field declares initialization string for your modem. If you are unsure what initialization string to use, including parenthesis, enter the value: (auto)
If this carrier is NOT configured to use a dialing protocol, leave this field as a blank string value ("").

Standard.
In SMTP, the authentication used is based on what type the SMTP server reports that it supports after the EHLO command is sent. Order of preference if more than one form is supported by the server: CRAM-MD5, PLAIN, LOGIN.
In SNPP, the LOGI command used.
In WCTP, the senderID (AuthUser field is used) and securityCode (AuthPassword field is used) data fields are used/sent.
In TAP, the password (AuthPassword field is used) is sent as part of the PG1 response.
In UCP, the password (AuthPassword field is used) is included in the data sent.

Sender Override
In SMTP, the AuthUser field value is used in the Mail From field in the SMTP envelope.
In WCTP, the AuthUser field value is used in the senderID data field that is sent.
|
3
|
CRAM-MD5
In SMTP, the CRAM-MD5 type authentication is used, even if the server doesn't advertise that it is supported.
|
4
|
PLAIN

This is an example of an import record that would import a carrier named 'ATT' that's set to use the TAP protocol to dial the AT&T TAP terminal 18009094602 with a baud rate of 1200, parity of even, data bits of 7, stop bits of 1, automatic initialization string and authentication is not required:
"500","ATT","18009094602","1200,e,7,1","160","(auto)","0","tap","0","","",#FALSE#,"","100"
This is an example of an import record that would import a carrier named 'Email' that's set to use the SMTP protocol over port 25 with a declared sending domain where relaying is enabled, authentication is required and a username and password are declared:
"500","Email","sendingdomain.com","25","160","","0","eml","1","username","password",#TRUE#,"relayserveraddresshere","100"
