Send-Page Cmdlet
Parameters Output Objects Configuration Settings
The Send-Page cmdlet is used to send messages using the SNPP protocol.
Syntax
Send-Page [parameters]
Remarks
It is a client implementation of Simple Network Paging Protocol Version 3 as specified in RFC 1861. Service extensions level 2 are supported intrinsically and the user can access all of level 3 extensions. Send-Page allows for immediate notification of message delivery, gives absolute flexibility over the content sent to the recipient, allows the specification of multiple choice responses, etc. To send a message the Server, recipient's PagerNumber and Message parameters should be set (these are also the require parameters). A PAGEObject is returned by the cmdlet Optional properties include: CallerNumber, Port and LocalIP.
The cmdlets support pipeline input for some of their parameters. Prebuilding an object and piping it to the cmdlet is very useful, but should be used with caution to prevent security conflicts. Steps have been taken to decrease the risk of a possibly accidental pipe to the cmdlet, for instance, the Credential parameter cannot be piped to the cmdlet and must be specified manually.
# send an IM send-page -server $snpp_server -CallerNumber $my_number -PagerNumber $recipient_number -message "Hi!"
