The TAP Interface is one of several ways that PageGate can accept
incoming messages:
TAP Interface - TAP API - GetTAP
The TAP Interface allows PageGate to function as a TAP receiver or a TAP terminal for any devices and systems that can transmit that protocol, such as a Zetron or Motorola paging terminal as well as a few CAD systems. Messages can be accepted via modem or direct serial connection. Also PageGate can act as a messaging
gateway for TAP clients, simplifying setup, logging
and providing a single connection for sending messages
to a wide variety of carriers.
TAP or Telelocator Application Protocol is a specific designed protocol
for paging. The message is sent in a specific format using the TAP protocol.
