Messages can be sent to pagers by using their PIN (ID) numbers. This option is only available with the 5000 pager license or greater. The advantage of this feature is that a user account for each pager does not have to be setup in PageGate. Only a single Ad-Hoc recipient needs to be setup for each carrier. The disadvantage is that the sender must know the PIN (ID) numbers of the pagers (harder to remember than recipient names). Sending messages using Ad-Hoc is similar to sending Multi-Page messages. In PageGate's Admin program, create a recipient and set it as an Ad-Hoc recipient. The carrier information must be correct; it is used to set which carrier the messages are sent to. With the Ad-Hoc recipient set as the web page's USER field, the SUBJECT field is used to receive the PIN (ID) numbers. The PIN (ID) numbers can be separated by spaces, commas, or semi-colons:
