Integration Partners
NotePage's Integration Partners are software
developers that have complimentary product lines.
Integration Options
PageGate has been
designed to integrate as easily as possible with existing
application. Here are some ways to use PageGate's modules
to integrate with other applications:
EMail Interface - More and more modern applications are
building in the ability to send email. If your application
supports email, it can easily be integrated with PageGate
by using PageGate's email interface. The GetMail interface
can be used to enable PageGate to be integrated with applications
running on different platforms (Unix, Mac, etc.). Please refer
to the GetMail section of this manual for more details.
Web Interface - Webpage developers can use the GetWeb
interface to send messages to PageGate from their webpages
(HTML, JavaScript, Java, etc.). A small CGI program (webgate.exe)
is used to accomplish this. The webgate CGI can be used with
either a POST or GET method. The POST method can be used by
creating a form on your webpage and pointing to the webgate.exe
program in the FORM ACTION statement. The GET method is more
popular with scripting languages such as JavaScript and Java.
It allows the webgate CGI to be called with a command similar
to one that could be entered into a browser's URL field. The
GetWeb interface can be used to enable WebGate to be integrated
with applications running on different platforms (Unix, Mac,
etc.). Please refer to the GetWeb section of this manual for
more details.
Direct database access with developers in mind, WebGate's
database is stored in a Microsoft Access 2000 compatible database
format. This database format is very popular and can be accessed
from many programming languages, MS Access, MS Word, and MS
Excel. Developers can easily insert new messages directly
into PageGate's message table. PageGate will queue the messages
and deliver them as if they were accepted from any of its
regular interfaces. Message delivery status and other information
can be read real-time from the PageGate database too. For
more details about using PageGate's database directly, please
contact NotePage's tech support department.
Commandline / ASCII Interface - This is the interface
most frequently used for Integration. This interface allows
for the scanning of a predetermined file for text messages
or for commandline paging (paging from within existing applications).
Serial Interface - This interface allows for the scanning
of a serial port for messages. The GetSerial interface enables
PageGate to monitor a serial connection for data. This interface
is often used to accept text that would normally be sent to
a printer, and extract out message information from that data.
TAP-in Interface - The TAP-in interface is used to accept
incoming messages via the TAP protocol. The GetTap interface
accepts these messages over a serial connection that is usually
connected to a modem. The TAP protocol is the most widely
used text messaging protocol for serial and dialup connections.
The GetTap interface enables PageGate to accept in text mesages
from many sources, and then re-dispatch the messages back
out (possibly to different recipients or groups).
