RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Help with using modem.

Well here is some info for any Cingular users. (Not tested yet) but hey, I got them to admit something... only took 3 or 4 months...   I sent them this: Comments : It is my understanding that somewhere in the Cingular system there is a TAP modem(s) that will allow you to send SMS messages to your phone from a computer. I have found the numbers below which do answer but I need to know the format to send. Cingular Wireless  800-469-5351  TAP Cingular Wireless  800-477-4550  TAP Cingular Wireless  800-909-4602  TAP Thanks Tony They sent: The TAP service as provided by Cingular Wireless is an input process/connection used to enter text messages into the Cingular Wireless Short Message Service Center (SMSC) for delivery to a digital mobile phone. Do to the wide variety of software and hardware available, Cingular can not guaranty that any software or hardware available will work with its service. We do not provide the software or computer hardware to any customer for this service. It is up to the customer to acquire the necessary software/hardware and configure it for use with service. The following is provided as a means to assist in the customer in setting up his computer and software. Verify the following with the customer: Modem BAUD rate is set to 1200, 2400 or 9600 baud.  No other will work. Data bits set to 7. Stop bits set to 1. Parity set to Even (E). Set Max characters per message to:  140 Data compression, if available, is set to OFF. If available, set Service type to:  Alphnumeric. If on PBX system, add the outside access number, usually 9, at the beginning of the number dialed.  (Example:  9,817-355-3052). When dialing Long Distance, be sure to add a "1" to the beginning of the number dialed.  Entered after outside access number and before number dialed.  (Example:  9,1-800-496-5351) Have the customer send a TAP test message to himself, note number. Check SMSC - TPSMT, Message View  to see if message was received by SMSC.

Would you be willing to share the configs you used with either Verizon or T-mobile.  I'm trying to get TAP info sent to a Pagewriter 2000x.  Maybe a endless battle....    Thanks for any info!   Lance -----Original Message----- From: Jim Brunsell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 3:07 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Help with using modem. I had simliar issues setting this up with verizon , sprint and T-mobile, It took several calls to each to find an operator who understood what I was talking about, thier websites were of no help.  and I had to experiment with the paging config to find a combination that worked.  None of the 800 numbers they gave me worked or any of the numbers I located on the internet.  Verizon and Sprint are working fine for me now, both with local numbers  I'm still working on T-mobile   I realize this isn't much help, but I feel your pain.   Jim Brunsell IT Manager/Network Engineer Ritchie Corporation v: 316.462.0058 f: 316.462.0010 [EMAIL PROTECTED]  -----Original Message----- From: Kevin McCraw [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 1:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Help with using modem. No, I am still working on this issue; I have been told that I need to get the terminal number from Nextel to transfer the analog data, but Nextel does not seem to have a clue of what I am referring to. If you get your issue solved before I do, please let me know.   Thanks Kevin     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Lee, Tara Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 1:17 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Help with using modem.

I am having this same problem with the pager.  I am using Nextel.  Is there a terminal number that I need to get from Nextel that is not the same as the paging number from a landline.  If anyone is using a Nextel phone for the paging service ( not the email text) the please reply and let me know how you have this setup.

You'd actually want to edit a pager notification device, not a beeper.  For the number you need to put in a phone number that corresponds to your service; it is generally NOT the pager number.  You can call your provider if you don't have this (I called arch to get mine).  The pager id is then just the pager phone number.  I used the default dial string.   BTW, this provided a use for one of about thirty old decommissioned 14.4 modems...I knew there was a reason for saving them! :^) Greg Greg Schaffer Director of Network Services Information Technology Division Middle Tennessee State University ----- Original Message ----- From: Wieczorek, Eric SGT NE-ARNG To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 04, 2002 9:00 AM Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] Help with using modem. Hello. I need some help with making use of a modem in WUG. I am running WUG 7.04 on a dedicated Dell 1650 server.  I have installed a PCI modem into this server. I have a pager that accepts text emails.  I'd like to configure WUG to send a message to this pager via the modem. 1.Can WUG with an internal pci modem or does it need to be an external modem connected to my com port? 2.When editing the beeper notification, what do I put for a beeper number? 3.What should the dial string look like? 4.What do I put for a com port if I'm using an internal pci modem?
