Omnitrend PageMaster v4.0.0.33

PageMaster is a Windows application that sends text messages to cellphones, alphanumeric pagers, numeric pagers, and any other devices capable of receiving text and SMS messages.

PageMaster is designed to fulfill different roles depending on your requirements. In its most basic mode, PageMaster can operate as a stand-alone text messaging terminal. A database of devices (i.e. Pager, Cellphone, Blackberry) is created, and messages are set to those devices using PageMaster's internal Text Messaging Engine.

However, PageMaster also offers several configurations for multi-user or Enterprise use.

Starting from its basic mode, PageMaster can be installed on multiple computers, each containing its own database of devices, or the database may be centrally located on a network share and provide a common device list. Each computer can then send text messages through its own internal Text Messaging Engine.

With the use of Omnitrend's PageMaster/sv Text Messaging Server, each PageMaster installation can be configured to transmit page requests to a central point. The PageMaster/sv server will then orchestrate the transmission of messages from its Text Messaging Engine. PageMaster/sv will batch messages for service providers and transmit them in the most efficient manner for optimum throughput. This also provides the benefit of centralizing the logging of sent messages. PageMaster can also be configured to transmit text messages to a PageMaster/ex Text Messaging Connector for Microsoft Exchange Server. In this mode, PageMaster provides the following benefits over the normal message processing provided by PageMaster/ex:

-- The PageMaster client can be employed on machines that do not have an email client (i.e. Outlook) installed and connected to Exchange Server. PageMaster routes its messages to PageMaster/ex through a DCOM interface, external to mail handling, so a mail client is unnecessary. The device list is read directly from Active Directory, so no separate device database need be maintained for PageMaster clients.
-- The PageMaster client can provide backup paging capability in the event of an Exchange or network outage. Automatic fallback from a primary PageMaster/ex connection will reroute messaging first to any stand-alone PageMaster/sv servers, then ultimately to the client's own internal Text Messaging Engine.
-- The PageMaster client provides additional messaging options not available when messaging through a mail clients. This includes pre-define (or "canned") messages that can be sent quickly using a hotkey combination, scheduled and automatically recurring messages, and many formatting options for message content.
