First Time Setup

In order to properly setup the NotePager Net Client, the NotePager Net Server must already be installed, setup, and running (refer to NotePager Net's documentation for installation and operations).

The first time you start the NotePager Net Client, the setup screen will be displayed.

1. Specifying the server's data directory.

	During the setup of the NotePager Net Server, a location for NotePager Net's database was specified (pagegate.mdb). The NotePager Net Client must know the location of that database file, in order to operate. Type the full path to the database file in the 'Server Database' field, or use the browse button (three dots) to find its location.

2. Sender's Name

	By default, each message sent by the NotePager Net Client is prefixed with the name of the sender (this behavior can be turned off in the NPN Admin program if desired). This is where you specify that name.

3. Station Number

	The station number is used in the log files to indicate which workstation a message originated from. Each workstation should be given a unique station number (unless you want multiple workstation to share the same history log).

4. Update frequency

	This sets how often (in seconds) the NotePager Net Client updates its statistics and logs. Too small a value may generate unnecessary network traffic.

5. Clear on Send

	With this box checked, whenever a message is sent, the message textbox and list of recipients the message was sent to are automatically cleared.

6. Enable Spell Check

	If you have Microsoft Word 97 or newer, you can enable this option to allow for the spell checking of messages.

7. Local Recipient List Only

	This option can be use to only allow the user of this program to see recipients in their local recipient list. The full network recipient list will not be accessible.

8. Choose to save the above setting for all users of this workstation, or for only the currently logged in user.

9. Apply your changes.

Setup of the NotePager Net Client is now complete. You are ready to send messages!
