SNPP Component [IP*Works! V8]

Properties Methods Events Configuration Settings

The SNPP component is used to send pages through the internet using the SNPP protocol.

NOTE: What follows is a very short description of the component interfaces. For more information, please consult the help files that come with the respective package.

Remarks

It is a client implementation of Simple Network Paging Protocol Version 3 as specified in RFC 1861. Service extensions level 2 are supported intrinsically and the user can access all of level 3 extensions.

SNPP allows for immediate notification of message delivery, gives absolute flexibility over the content sent to the recipient, allows the specification of multiple choice responses, etc.

To send a message the ServerName, recipient's PagerId and Message properties should be filled out (at a minimum). The Send method is then used to deliver the message.

The server's response is given in the PITrail events and by the LastReply property. Customized commands may be sent using the Command property.

Optional properties include: CallerId, ServerPort and LocalHost
