Paessler IPCheck Monitor Integration

Send Text and SMS Messages from Paessler IPCheck Monitor
IPCheck can integrate with NotePage Inc.'s PageGate application to add the ability to send alerts to wireless messaging devices (pagers, mobile phones, pims, etc.).

Steps for integration:
1) Install IPCheck according to it's documentation.

2) Install and setup PageGate as instructed in PageGate's help documents.

3) Setup and enable PageGate's Commandline/Ascii interface.

4) In IPCheck, create a new or edit an existing monitor.

5) While editing the new/existing monitor, click on the alarm-clock icon next to the event you want to be notified about.

6) On the event manager screen choose 'Add' to create a new event.

7) Give the new event a name (i.e. sendpage-server down).

8) Choose 'Execute' as the event.

9) In the first edit box, enter the full path to PageGate's sendpage.exe program (i.e. if you setup PageGate's Commandline/Ascii interface to poll the 'c:\pages' directory, enter 'c:\pages\sendpage.exe' in this field).

10) In the second edit box, enter the commandline parameters necessary to send the message to PageGate. The syntax is as follows: {recipient} {sender} {message}. Please note: there must be a space between each parameter, and the '{}' should not be included. The {recipient} parameter should be replaced with an existing PageGate recipient's name. The {sender} parameter should be replaced with the name of the person/machine/company that is sending the message (no spaces). The {message} parameter should be replaced with the actual message (spaces are OK). It may be helpful to include some of IPCheck's parameters. Here is an example entry for this edit box: 'mypager system-monitor <#date> <#time> <#server> is down' (don't include the quotes). This would send a message the PageGate recipient named 'mypager' with a message like '01.01.2001 12:00:00 mail.mydomain.com is down'. Keep in mind that due to DOS/Windows commandline limitations, the entire command (the length of both edit boxes added together) cannot exceed 128 characters.

11) Send a test message by hitting the 'Test' button on the event manager screen.
