Peraton Email
AlphaLogging has the ability to send email when a dispatch happens and PageGate's GetMail interface allows it to both check external mailboxes and host its' own email domain and addresses. This allows AlphaLogging to email information directly to PageGate for translation to enterprise and priority procols.
First, we'll need to configure the GetMail interface to accept messages.
1) Right click on the PG Admin shortcut and select 'Run as Administrator'
1a) If prompted by the UAC, allow the process to continue.
2) Go to Interfaces - GetMail - Settings.
3) Check Enabled.
4) PageGate will accept messages addressed to the domain referenced in the 'Local Domain' field.
We recommend creating an email sub-domain and redirecting its relevant DNS records (usually MX, sometimes A) to the PageGate server.
For example, let's say you have the domain 'something.com'. You would want to talk with your email domain administrators and request that they create a sub-domain, something like 'alert.something.com' or 'sms.something.com', and redirect it to the PageGate server.
When you do, use the new domain's value in the 'Local Domain' field.
The rest of the settings aren't related to bringing traffic in to the program, so we won't need to configure anything else here.
5) Click Apply.
5a) If prompted, you do want this enabled for all of the recipients and groups.
6) Go to Program - Settings.
7) Check 'GetMail' in the 'Run on this Server' section.
8) Click Apply.
9) If prompted for credentials, leave them blank and click Apply again.
Now that GetMail knows it should receive traffic for the domain you specified in step 4, all of your recipients and groups are now valid mailboxes on it. For example, let's say we're using pg.yourdomain.com and that we have a group called station12. We could then have CAD email station12@pg.yourdomain.com to send the dispatch through PageGate.
