Electronic Messaging for the Enterprise

PageMate ® provides capabilities to construct and send both numeric and alphanumeric text messages to electronic pagers, digital telephones and similar portable messaging devices. The software gives computer users hands-on control of messaging by offering them the ability to send messages directly from their desktops. Users on a variety of different systems can access pager catalogs and send messages without needing local access to modems or telephone lines. Supported software environments include Microsoft Windows, OpenVMS, Digital UNIX (Tru64 UNIX), HP-UX, IBM AIX and Sun Solaris. Messages to be paged can be entered directly by interactive users or derived from scripts and command procedures, electronic mail, network monitors, help desk and other site-specific applications. PageMate server software maintains a system common pager catalog and provides telecommunication services required to send messages to the paging network. The software provides access to pagers via ether commercial or customer-owned (on-site) paging systems. A messaging capability that supports the delivery of information to anyone, anywhere, anytime is rapidly becoming a fundamental of business. Electronic paging is now widely accepted as a cost-effective information pipe-line for the delivery of time critical messages. PageMate software provides access to that pipeline from PCs, workstations, application programs, scripts and command procedures, and electronic mail.

Highlights

  • Supports all industry and de facto standard pagers, networks and protocols
  • Client-server architecture provides access to paging resources from PCs, workstations and application programs throughout a network
  • Motif user interface for UNIX and OpenVMS
  • Microsoft Windows interface for PCs
  • API and command line interface for automated messaging
  • Supports both commercial and on-site (customer-owned) paging systems

Pager Catalogs

PageMate supports operation with system common, user private and group catalogs. Catalogs provide complete directory entries for each pager, including pager name, pager type and PIN, full user name and company information, telephone numbers, electronic mail address and comments.

Modems

PageMate supports connection to commercial paging networks via the switched telephone network using Hayes-compatible modems. Modems may be connected to the PageMate server either directly or through a terminal server.

Software Configuration

PageMate software supports operation in both standalone and client-server configurations. Workstation licenses provide support for operation with a limited number of pagers from a single computer system. Server licenses provide support for operation with unlimited pagers and users in either standalone server or client-server configurations.

On-Site Paging

PageMate provides support for operation with both commercial paging networks worldwide and customer-owned (on-site) paging systems. On-site paging systems provide a cost-effective solution to requirements for electronic paging within a limited geographic area. Systemetrics can supply Motorola transmitters and paging equipment, together with PageMate software, to satisfy requirements for on-site paging.

Event Notification

PageMate software provides core capabilities for delivery of critical event notification, status messages and other important information to anyone, anywhere, anytime. The software can be used with network monitors, help desk and other automated dispatch applications to provide capabilities for automatic notification to technical support personnel of problem reports, trouble tickets and other system-related conditions and events.
