SIMPLE NETWORK PAGING PROTOCOL (SNPP)

SNPP is a standard for sending one- and two-way wireless messages to pagers. In its simplest form, SNPP provides a simple way to make a link between the Internet and a Telocator Alphanumeric input Protocol (TAP) paging terminal.

SNPP issues sequence of commands and replies where pages are delivered to individual paging terminals. The most obvious benefit is the

elimination of the need for modems and phone lines to produce alphanumeric pages, and the ease of delivery of pages to terminals in other cities or countries.

SNPP is one of the recommended methods of connection to the Wireless paging network for automated (server-to-server) connections, software clients, and customers requiring time critical delivery of messages.

SNPP Examples

The following examples illustrate a connection to the PagePoint Wireless Messaging network via SNPP. The gray box is the user input screen, and the text that is in italics is information input by the user (or an automated program). The remaining text in the gray box constitutes the responses from the Verizon Wireless Messaging SNPP server. The rounded box illustrates what would be received on the paging device.

Example 1: SNPP Level 1 Connection

The PAGEPOINT Wireless Messaging owner would receive the following on their pager:

Note: the PagePoint Wireless Messaging SNPP server responds with a message

confirmation (tracking) number if the message was received successfully by the network.

In the example above the line that shows this confirmation is, “250 Message 928941332 SEND”.

We give an SLA of 4 mins when the message is sent through SNPP
