Pager Script

The Pager Notification includes many pre-defined Pager Scripts to be used as-is, or to be modified for your specific pager and pager service. To use a Pager Notification, a properly configured modem must be attached to the ELM Server computer and be available to the ELM Server application.

Pager Notification uses a script to define the communication protocol. Scripts are provided for Numeric, Alpha-Numeric, and SMS messaging. If the telecom service provider requires a variation of one of these protocols, the script allows you to customize communication in order to adapt to the protocol of your service provider.

Note
For SMS messaging, the ELM Server will need a GSM/GPRS enabled modem connected to the computer hosting the ELM Server.

To customize the pager script settings, open the Pager Notification properties, go to the Connection Settings dialog, select the Pager Script you wish to modify, then click the Edit button.

Note
It is best to make a backup copy of the current script before changing it. This will enable you to revert back to the original script if necessary.
