Follow these steps to use Schneider Electric I/NET: Building Alarm Automation System with PageGate.
I/NET sends alerting information by serial line and PageGate can be easily integrated with I/NET 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 I/NET to send the alerts, please reference the I/NET documentation here:
