Installation

Rio Paging enables the Corporate user to send Alphanumeric (text) and Numeric pages from their desktop. The user can maintain their own personal Address Book and access Departmental and Corporate Address books. The system can repeat pages until they are acknowledged and escalate pages which are not acknowledged. Many other facilities are offered.

Rio Paging provides the System Manager with a robust client-server architecture which will not fail even if one or more routes to the Paging Service Provider should fail. Pages can be sent over Dial-UP, Leased Line or Internet connections using TAP and /or SNPP protocols.

In order to operate a Rio Paging system, the System Manager must first configure the Server. Once that is done individual Users can install the client software on their computers and send pages.

The installation and configuration of the Server is described first followed by the installation and configuration of a client computer.

The Infolink Receiver must be connected to a serial port on the Server. The Infolink Receiver is supplied with a special cable. Connect the 9-pin DIN plug on one of the cable to the 9-pin socket on the Infolink receiver. The socket is marked "DTE". Connect the other end of the cable to a free serial port on the Server. The cable has both 9-pin and 25-pin connectors and you can use either to connect to the COM port.

Make a note of the COM port that you have plugged the Infolink Receiver into. This will probably be COM1 or COM2. After you have installed the Rio Paging Server software you will need to tell it which port you have connected the Infolink Receiver to.

Position the Infolink Receiver as far as possible, and at least 1 metre away, from any monitor or computer.

Server Software

Install the Server Software

If you are installing on NT ensure that you have downloaded and installed Service Pack 5 from http://download.microsoft.com/msdownload/sp5/x86/en/sp5I386.exe

Whether you are using Windows 98 or NT for the Rio Server, download and install dataacc.exe from http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/downloadDetails/dataacc.htm. Be sure to restart your computer after installing this program.

Then install the Rio Software. On NT, login as the System Administrator. On Windows 95/98, login normally.

The Server Program is provided as a single file called pagelinksvr.exe. Run this program. Install Shield will guide you through the installation process. By default it will automatically copy files to both of these directories.

C:\Program Files\Connection Software\Rio Paging\Server
C:\Program Files\Connection Software\Rio Paging\Database

Be sure to restart your computer after installing this program.

Run the server. Don't worry if you get the message "Infolink receiver not found" at this stage.
