Settings for Command Messaging

The Wireless Messaging tab of the Configuration Settings GUI on Windows provides environment variables for Wireless Messaging.

• Set the Server security mode and Inbound command authorization code to let the Wireless Messaging server accept commands from remote devices. Messages sent to the server are processed and passed to the Event Console as oprcmds.
• Set Autoreply to unsolicited messages to YES if you want to acknowledge receipt of validated and rejected pages. This option also tells the server to produce a warning message when a reply arrives for which no client is waiting.
• Set Server security mode to L to send a command page using unformatted email. This option relaxes security. Command pager messages have the following format:
  • The first line specifies the layout of your message, and is used for the automatic answering process. The layout strings are the same as for the capagecl command.
  • The second line contains only the unencrypted password.
  • The third line contains the literal text of the oprcmd to be issued from the Event Console.

For information about setting environment variables, see the online CA Reference.

Note: For security reasons, the password is contained in an encrypted portion of the command message. Using the PageNet® Pagewriter application, this process is transparent, although the password must be entered at the time the page is generated.
