Please read the following important notes:

Select the General item on the left panel to configure the SendToPager General Preferences.

Logging Level

The SendToPager has an extensive logging option and you can parameterize it as you need. Logging is stored permanently in the log file (paging.log can be found in the SendToPager Home folder). The following Logging Levels are available: None SendToPager does not log neither Errors, nor Informational messages. Errors Only SendToPager logs Errors only, skipping Informational messages. Normal SendToPager logs both Errors and Informational messages. Debug SendToPager dumps also, in addition to Errors and Informational messages, all transmitted and received characters. We would recommend that you set the Normal Logging Level for normal operations or the Debug Logging Level, when you encounter any difficulties and you would like to report these to us. In this case, please, attach your log-file to your report.

Provider Settings are dependent on the Protocol you will assign to this Provider.

	Direct Paging	ARC Paging	TAP/IXO	E-Mail	SMS

Access Number		X	X			Access Number setting is applied to modem-related protocols (ARC Paging & TAP/IXO), when SendToPager first connects to a Service Center and then transmits the message. Access Number must be entered in Canonical or Direct format. Read more about Number formats here. Please contact Provider to get correct Access Number.
Connect Pause	X	X				Connect Pause setting is applied to tone-paging protocols, when it's not possible to detect when B-party answers and then to generate tone message. Read more Tone Paging Tips here.
Password			X			Passwod setting is applied to TAP/IXO protocol, when Paging Provider requires special authentication before message transmission. Please contact Provider to get correct Password or enter '000000' default password.
Domain Name				X		SendToPager automatically constructs e-mail message of the From, To & Body fields. To field is concatenation of the Contact's Number and Provider's Domain Name. Example: 19877891234@sms.cingular.com Please contact Provider to get correct e-mail domain name, used for message forwarding purposes.

The Number can be entered in one of the following two formats:

The Number in the Canonical format is automatically translated into a dialable number according to Windows Location Information.
We would recommend you use the Canonical format, unless you are absolutely sure how to use Direct format.

Tone Paging Tips

Therefore, the connection is meant to be established right after the dialing is complete. It may cause the loss of some beginning characters in the message.

If you use the Canonical format for Address Book addresses there's only one way to allow an additional wait-time by defining a Connect Pause in the Provider properties long enough to ensure that the connection is established.

If you use the Direct format for Addresses, you may allow additional time for еру connection to be established by adding special characters to the Number.
Add comma character ',' to set half-a-second pause. Add ampersand character '@' to wait until B-party first ring and hook-off.

Example: D7891234,,,, will add four additional pauses (about half-a-second each) before SendToPager will assume that a connection is established.
Example: D7891234@ will wait until first ring on B-party and after hook-off will assume that connection has been established. Make sure that the B-station allows at least one ring otherwise the connection will not be established.
