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.
