Steps to Use IP Tools Advanced Host Monitor with PageGate
Send Text and SMS Messages from IP Tools Advanced Host Monitor
Note: You will need to create a directory for the integration to reference. If PageGate is installed on the Advanced Host Monitor server, we recommend creating c:\PageGateData\Ascii\. If PageGate is not installed on the Advanced Host Monitor server, be sure to share the integration directory on the network so the PageGate and Advanced Host Monitor systems both have administrative access/control.
1) Open the PageGate Admin.
2) Go to Interfaces - GetAscii - Settings.
3) Set the "Polling Directory" to the integration directory you've created (see above).
Note: If you set the Polling Directory to a shared network (UNC) path, be sure to provide the PageGate GetAscii windows service with the appropriate logon credentials to access the network data.
4) Check Enabled.
5) Click on Apply.
5a) When prompted, you do want this enabled for all existing groups and recipients.
When configuring your "Execute external program" action, this is how to call on PageGate's GetAscii module:
