i-Page Message
Dispatch Software for Paging & SMS
i-Page is software
for the dispatching of text messages to a variety
of wireless messaging devices including pagers and cellphones. It is primarily designed for
networked client/server operations although
a single user version is available (i-Page Personal
Edition).
i-Page utilises IP communications between the
server and clients enabling clients on a local
and/or wide area network to send messages to
pagers and other text capable wireless devices
such as cellular phones, MDTs etc.
The
i-Page server software is located on a centralized
PC with access to the carriers to which it
is to communicate. The server
may have any number of carriers of various
protocols and communications mediums and which
may be local or remote (see comms protocols
below.)
The i-Page Client is loaded on to each PC requiring the ability to send
messages. Clients may be located anywhere on the LAN or WAN with normal
access to the server. Alarm clients may also be connected to automatically
generate alphanumeric messages in response to alarm events.
Contacts are contained either in a local or
a shared database with a cascading Explorer-like
folder structure. Groups may be set up to allow a single
message to be sent to multiple contacts in one hit and may consist of contacts
of different types connected to different carriers. There are no limits
imposed on the number of carriers, contacts or groups.
