Design interactive voice response (IVR) scripts to answer incoming calls. The caller can navigate through the interactive voice response (IVR) scripts by pressing digits on the phone keypad ( IE "Please press 1 for a description of our products, 2 for fax-back and 3 to speak to an operator"). Interactive voice response (IVR) scripts like multi-user voice mail boxes, credit card verification or fax-on-demand are set up within minutes. The system supports an unlimited number of incomung lines.
Receiving faxes

Scanning external application for values and in the event the criteria is met, send a message to a user. Ideal for SCADA alarming or Network monitoring.

Receiving calls
By using the intuitive but powerful graphical script Designer you can create interactive phone applications (Also called Interactive Voice Response (IVR) Systems), where the caller uses the phone keypad to enter values and navigates through a script. Applications like Credit Card verifications, Fax-On-Demand or Voice Mail may be designed within minutes.
All values entered by the caller are available for further processing in the script or can be exchanged with any other application like Excel or Visual Basic.
Message Server can handle an unlimited number of incoming calls.
Using the IVR feature and the SMS sending feature you may configure your own SMS on demand server within minutes.

Receiving SMS/E-mail
By using the intuitive but powerful graphical script Designer you can create scripts that react on incoming messages. The message (SMS or E-mail) is queried for the specified values and format and then you can react on its contents. SMS/Email forwarding, SMS/Email auto reply, SMS on demand, etc, may be designed within minutes. All values received are available for further processing in the script or can be exchanged with any other application like Excel or Visual Basic.

Sending Messages
Using the Message Center utility, you can define a database of contacts to which you may send your messages. Messages can be sent by

Pager
Mobile phone (using the SMS standard for Short Message Services)
Supports Text, Flash messages, Pictures, Logos and ringtones
Fax
E-mail
Voice file
or as script

When sending a message you can decide to send it using a pre-specified communication link or to let Message Server choose the most appropriate link. If you let Message Server choose the link, it will automatically adapt the message to suite the selected communication link.
The messages can be sent through the Message Center interface or using the command line interface of SendMessage.
Check-It allows you even to query other applications for values and send alarm messages if those values exceed the defined limits. This feature makes the suite invaluable for SCADA applications, where you need to monitor factory floor data.
Network administrator may set up events to monitor the loss of communication and sent alarm messages to the support group.

Message Server integrates perfectly into SCADA applications like CITECT(CiTechnologies), InTouch (Wonderware) or RSView (Rockwell Software). To get data for its interactive scripts, Message Server accesses the variables of those packages through DDE. The SCADA packages in turn can send alarm messages through the SendMessage utility or the Check-It event scanner.
Message Server supports all major modems by using the Microsoft TAPI standard to communicate to modems.
