Variable

Possible Values

Description

Filter

File path to and file name of the filter to run

Note: pgfilter.exe and pgfilter.dll must reside in the PageGate program directory to use this parameter.

Example:  Filter = c:\PageGateData\Filters\YourConnectorFilter.xml

This parameter calls on PageGate's filtering system when sending messages through this connector.

FilterDebugFile

File path to and file name of the log to write

Example: FilterDebugFile = c:\PageGateData\Filters\connector1filter.log

When using a filter, you can use this variable to output this specific filter's log to the specific location and file name.

InterMessageDelay

Number of Milliseconds

Example: InterMessageDelay = 1500

This variable inserts a pause, in milliseconds, in between each message that is delivered by this connector.

StripAlpha

True

False

Example: StripAlpha = True

Setting this value to true will remove any alphabetical character from messages delivered through this carrier. For example, if you tried to send the message 'Alert on node 127.0.0.1', the only thing delivered would be '127.0.0.1'

StripCharacters

See description

Example: StripCharacters = |\~

This parameter will remove all instance of any character(s) entered. In the above example, that would strip out all pipes (|), backslashes (\) and tildes (~).

StripNonPrintable

True

False

Example: StripNonPrintable = True

Settings this value to true will remove any non-printable ASCII characters, like carriage returns, line feeds, horizontal tabs and similar, from messages delivered through this connector.

SubjectFilter

File path to and file name of the filter to run

Note: pgfilter.exe and pgfilter.dll must reside in the PageGate program directory to use this parameter.

Example: SubjectFilter = c:\PageGateData\Filters\YourSubjectFilter.xml

This parameter calls on a filter that will only work with the contents of the subject line and will not influence the recipient(s) or body of the message.

SubjectFilterDebugFile

File path to and file name of the log to write

Example: SubjectFilterDebugFile = c:\PageGateData\Filters\ConnectorSubject.log

When using a subject filter, you can use this parameter to output this specific filter's log to the declared location and file name.

UseCarrierAuth

True

False

Example: UseCarrierAuth = False

This setting tells the connector whether or not it should use authentication when connecting to the cellular modem, router or gateway. This is enabled by default.

This is most often used when multiple makes and models of cellular modem, router or gateway are being used and some devices require authentication but others don't.

This allows you to have a single carrier using the GSM-AT or GSM-AT-IP protocols and specialize each connector  for the different types of devices in your environment.

UseFilterDll

True

False

Note: pgfilter.exe and pgfilter.dll must reside in the PageGate program directory to use this parameter.

Example: UseFilterDll = True

Setting this parameter to true tells PageGate to use the filter dll, which is a more efficient method of running the filter.
