Andover Controls Integration

Send Text and SMS Messages from Andover Controls
Follow these steps to use Andover Controls with PageGate

Andover Controls sends alerting information by serial line and PageGate can be easily integrated with Andover Controls by using the GetSerial module. The GetSerial module allows PageGate to monitor a serial port for incoming alerts from the I/NET system.

To configure Andover Controls to send the alerts, please reference the I/NET documentation here:
