Overview
A Paging Transmitter is used to send messages to individual Pagers. This guide will show how to configure a remote transmitter that is on the same subnet as the VersaCall computer/server. IT will need to provide a static IP address that can be used for this device.


Requirements
See Requirements Here
1. The VT3000 Core Software installed and running on your system.
2. VersaCall Computer/Server plugged into your network via Ethernet connection.
3. New Paging Transmitter & RS-232 hardware.
4. The IP Address that the RS-232 is using once it is plugged into power & ethernet port. Your IT Department will need to provide this information by doing a MAC Address search. The MAC Address can be found on the sticker on the bottom of the RS-232 device.
