NORTHWEST
INDIANA/CHICAGOLAND, September 9, 2000--DDL Systems Consulting, Inc. announces ACO
PAGER Message Alert System Version 4.5. With the commercial release of ACO
PAGER v4.5 your support personnel can remotely manage your AS/400 (or iSeries)
using any MIME compatible e-mail client (e.g. Outlook, Groupwise etc.). Replies or
commands (entered on the e-mail client) are sent to the Internet (or Intranet) and
subsequently delivered to your AS/400® (or iSeries®) system. ACO PAGER, when
used in conjunction with your e-mail client, provides you with the ability to remotely
manage your AS/400® (or iSeries®) system. |
 |
| How does
ACO PAGER integrate e-mail with two-way messaging? |
 |
Utilizing ACO
PAGERs advanced monitoring and alert facilities your support personnel receive
system, application, and network events (messages) that your installation considers
significant on their e-mail client. ACO PAGERs messaging agents determine the
appropriate "on duty" support personnel responsible for managing the event and
e-mail messages to the Internet (or Intranet). As a result, event messages appear in their
e-mail inbox (see sample below). |
 |
 |
 |
| ACO PAGERs messaging agents encrypt all
transactions before sending them over the Internet -- ensuring security and privacy. |
 |
On the e-mail client press the
"Reply" button, then, enter one of the allowable values identified on the
message and click "Send" (see example below). |
 |
 |
 |
Your reply/command is sent to your
AS/400® (or iSeries®) via the Internet (or Intranet) and subsequently processed by
ACO PAGERs two-way messaging agent(s). Then, using ACO PAGERs
confirmation of delivery feature, our messaging agents ensure that your two-way reply (or
command) has been successfully processed on the AS/400® (or iSeries®) via a reply
acknowledgment message (see below). |
