Integration with Siemens BACnet

PageGate integrates with Siemens BACnet using the GetAscii module. Siemens BACnet can output data to a directory that PageGate monitors for SMS delivery.

Configure the GetAscii Module

  1. Create the integration directory (recommended: c:\PageGateData\BACnet\). Configure Siemens BACnet to have file access to this directory.
  2. Open PG Admin. Go to Interfaces — GetAscii — Settings. Set Polling Directory to the folder.
    If using a UNC path, provide the PageGate GetAscii Windows service with appropriate credentials.
  3. Check Enabled. Click Apply. Enable for all groups and recipients when prompted.

Manual Command Format

If you need to manually configure commands to send to PageGate:

<Integration Directory>\sendpage32.exe <recipient> <sender> <message>

Example: c:\PageGateData\BACnet\sendpage32.exe itadmins BACnet "Alarm condition detected"

Return to Integration Directory
