Description
Watch-IT ASCII is an application for intelligent unattended Wireless Messaging (paging or text messaging) of ASCII data from any source. A similar version is also available to run as a Windows service (Watch-IT ASCII SV ™). Watch-IT ASCII File Processor allows automated dispatch of messages from any computer system platform from downloaded ASCII text files. Watch-IT ASCII scans for the presence of a pre-determined delimited text file on a local or LAN Drive and extracts the "User names or Wireless Receiver numbers and associated message information." Once a message file has been processed and transferred to the service providers' system, Watch-IT ASCII optionally creates logging and post processing files. The Watch-IT ASCII is commonly used to "wireless enable" customer services dispatch systems, network problem reporting systems, E-Mail systems, batch process notification, and alarm condition notification. The Watch-IT ASCII is also compatible with any system that can produce an ASCII file, including UNIX and mainframes. Send messages via dial-up (TAP) messaging, Direct Serial Connection, and over the Internet (via modem or network connection) directly to your Messaging Services Internet Gateway (SNPP/WCTP/SMTP(email) and NEW InfoRad Messaging Gateway). Secure Messaging via WCTP/SMTP/InfoRad Messaging Gateway. Watch-IT ASCII also supports Direct Serial Connection; use leased-line, short-haul modems, and direct serial connections to Wireless Service Providers as well as on-site paging systems. Watch-IT ASCII also includes the Spell Checker (check and correct messages before sending) and the Advanced Scheduler - (schedule recurring daily, weekly, monthly messages/reminders), Route on Failure - automatic rollover to secondary receiver address on primary error, and Message Templates (pre-programmed 'fill in the blank' type messages). Watch-IT ASCII SV runs as a Windows Service. Watch-IT ASCII-75 also available. Watch-IT ASCII-75 is a lower-cost & limited version of InfoRad Watch-IT ASCII.
