QPage setup for Sprint - SOLVED
edit: this was solved before posting, but it may be helpful for others so I will continue to post, along with the solution
I am trying to set up QPage so that it connects via a USRobotics modem to the Sprint/Nextel TAP/IXO protocol network. Basically, QPage connects and sends a message which is sent like a SMS (text message). This would be used for network emergencies, when email wouldn't be an option; it must be via an analog phone line. I have QPage installed on a Debian Sarge system and it can call out fine, and the Sprint numbers that I have tried do pick up. Its that, I cannot seem to get them to connect and the message to send. I think the issue is that I need to set the databits to 7e1 (7 databits, 1 even parity) for /dev/ttyS0 but I don't know how to do that. (edit: wasn't a concern, just the phone was wrong) Here is my /etc/qpage.cf file (in brief): Code:
modem=ttyS0 SOLUTION it turns out that I just had to use a different phone number, as such: Code:
service=Sprint To send a page, at a command line: lefty@linux$ qpage user message however you want it where 'user' is one of the setup user names in /etc/qpage.cf More useful information here. Thanks for reading! |
