Integrate with Existing Applications

Integration with Zoll's RescueNet CommCAD

PageGate can be easily tied to Zoll's RescueNet CommCAD in a variety of ways. As both programs can handle SNPP, SMTP and TAP, you can use any of these three methods to have RescueNet notify PageGate when an alert needs to be delivered to a cell phone, pager or other device.

Option 1 — TAP Integration (via serial/direct)

  1. Open the PageGate Admin.
  2. Go to Interfaces — GetTAP — Settings.
  3. Set the Serial Port field to match the COM/Serial port RescueNet will be feeding data into.
  4. Specify the following to mirror RescueNet's settings:
    Baud Rate: Mirror RescueNet's setting
    Parity: Mirror RescueNet's setting
    Data Bits: Mirror RescueNet's setting
    Stop Bits: Mirror RescueNet's setting
    Init String: direct (type this in the field)
  5. Put a check in Enabled.
  6. Click Apply. When prompted, you do want to enable this for all existing groups and recipients.

Option 2 — SNPP Integration

First, enable the GetAscii module and set up the SNPP Server to work with PageGate.

  1. In Windows, create the directory: C:\PageGateData\Ascii\
  2. Open the PG Admin. Go to Interfaces — GetAscii — Settings. Set the Polling Directory to c:\PageGateData\Ascii\. Check Enabled. Click Apply. When prompted, enable for all existing groups and recipients.
  3. Move snppserver.exe, pininfo.txt and snpp.ini from the PageGate directory to C:\PageGateData\SNPP\.
  4. Edit snpp.ini: set OutputFolder=C:\PageGateData\SNPP\ and LogFolder=C:\PageGateData\Logs\.
  5. Edit pininfo.txt to define valid PIN ranges. For static recipients: "0000000001","9999999999","PG_Recipient".
  6. Open a command prompt, navigate to the SNPP Server directory, and run snppserver /reinstall. Then from Run in Windows, type net start pgsnppserver.

Option 3 — Email (GetMail) Integration

  1. Open the PG Admin. Go to Interfaces — GetMail — Settings. Check Enabled.
  2. Enter your sub-domain name in the Local Domain field. To have RescueNet email PageGate, configure a sub-domain (e.g., paging.example.com) and redirect its MX record to the PageGate server's IP.
  3. Click Apply. If prompted, select Yes to enable for all groups and recipients.

Once configured, every recipient and group in PageGate becomes a valid email address on the sub-domain. For example, email to alerts@paging.example.com will be delivered to all members of the Alerts group.
