Greetings, I'd be grateful for any advice on the following problem encountered when using a UK paging service run by "O2 Easyreach", formerly BT (British Telecom).
We have just installed Whatsup Gold Version 8.03 on a Windows2000 server and want to use O2 EasyReach pagers to alert staff to failures. Our configuration works, in the sense that tests or alerts send the intended message to the correct pager and it displays the message. The problem is that, although the dialogue with the paging service completes normally (i.e. in accordance with the paging service's published specification), WUG's debug log (copy below) reveals that it is deemed to have failed. As a consequence, WUG resends the page until the limit of the number of error retries has been reached. As a temporary workaround, we have changed the error retry limit to 1 to eliminate multiple tries, but of course this will prevent a retry in the event of a genuine failure to reach the paging service. Experiments with sending messages to another paging service work satisfactorily, the difference being that debug shows their system ends the dialogue with an acceptance code thus:- returned "115 Accepted 1 message. Goodbye (you should hangup now)<027><004><008> whereas the O2 (formerly BT) system uses the older format:- returned "ACPT<006><027><004>" which conforms to an earlier TAP specification, but appears not to be recognised by WUG as a successful termination. We normally have the protocol set to TAP, but we have tried each of the other options (SMS-TAP, NTT, UCP-SMS) in case they provided a solution: they do not. Searches of the user-group archive and Googling have not located any helpful advice. Does anyone know of a way to configure WUG so it will recognise this old format as a valid 'end-of-message'?
