Golden Gate® Pager Client/Server

using StrataLink

Golden Page Server and Send Page® for Microsoft® Windows® are client/server software
packages designed for accessing private or public alphanumeric paging services. Because
alphanumeric pagers allow letters to be entered, as well as numbers, access to these services
are normally provided to the Paging Service via a modem link from the desktop of the
dispatcher. Thus the dispatcher can easily enter any messages sent to the pager. Dial up
connections are most commonly used by numeri c page rs since only numbers can be di spl aye d
which are readily available from a DTMF type telephone.

Golden Page Server software allows for access to multiple paging services. Each pager can be
assigned to work with its corresponding public service or local limited distance pager service
such as provided by ServiceAlert
interface to automatically create paging messages to alert you whenever your phone rings. It
also keeps historical records of pages requested and sent. The local paging option eliminates
disruptive overhead audio paging and still provides the tools to reach one another efficiently.

The Golden Page Server defines the Paging Services, each using a modem (1200 Baud) or a
COM port for access. It al so def ines P age r ID’s along with common n ames of the u sers of ea ch
Pager, and a series of Clients (dispat chers) authorized to s end pages. Each clie nt PC wi ll have
the Send Page application configured for a shared file access operation over a LAN. The
application can be implemented on a Windows
shared directory access. The local pager option provided by ServiceAlert
1,000 pagers capable of 2,000 messages with a signal range of 1 to 2 miles, depending on the
surroundings.
