NotePager Net can be started by choosing 'NotePager Net Server' from the Windows start menu. Typically it can be found at 'Start' > 'Programs' > 'NotePager Net' > 'NotePager Net'.
After NotePager Net is started, a pager icon will appear in the Windows system tray on the bottom right-hand corner of the screen (next to the clock). This icon is used to stop NotePager Net, start the NPN Admin program, or start the NPN Monitor program. Clicking on the pager with the left mouse button will display a menu with these options.
If NotePager Net is running as an application, or as a Windows 9x service, the first menu option, 'Restore', will simply remove the pager icon from the system tray, and open a window on your desktop. Use the minimize button to return the icon to the system tray and remove the NotePager Net window. Quitting the NotePager Net window by using the 'X' control or by using the 'Quit NotePager Net' button will stop the entire NotePager Net Server application.
If NotePager Net is running as a Windows NT system service, the first menu option will be 'Start' instead of 'Restore'. This option will start the NotePager Net system service if it is not already running.
The second menu item is 'PG Admin'. Choosing this item will start NotePager Net's Administration program (if it is not already running).
The third menu item is 'PG Monitor'. Choosing this item will start NotePager Net's real-time monitoring program.
If NotePager Net is running as an application or as a Windows 9x service, the last option is 'Quit'. Selecting 'Quit' will stop the entire NotePager Net application. If NPN Admin or NPN Monitor are running, they will need to be exited individually.
If NotePager Net is running as a Windows NT system service, the last option is 'Stop'. This will stop the NotePager Net Server service from running. If the NPN Admin or NPN Monitor programs are running, they will need to be quit out of individually.
If NotePager Net has been setup to run as a Windows 9x or Windows NT service, it will start automatically each time the computer is restarted. Otherwise, you must start NotePager Net manually from the Windows start menu. (or add it to the computer's startup group).
