PageGate's GetAscii interface includes the sendpage32.exe executable - a command line executable that Solarwinds can use to pass alerts to PageGate.
The 'Execute an external program' trigger action is commonly used when the Solarwinds and the PageGate applications are installed on different computers. It automatically constructs and executes the commands necessary to pass messages to PageGate. This trigger action allows you, in Solarwinds, to select from the list of recipients and groups you've entered into PageGate. The 'Dial Page or SMS' trigger action is the easiest to use, but it requires PageGate to be installed on the same computer as the Solarwinds application. Solarwinds has two trigger actions that can be used to pass messages to PageGate: 'Dial Page or SMS' and 'Execute an external program' On the accept/input configuration side of things, Solarwinds will be setup to pass alerts to PageGate. When configuring PageGate to work with Solarwinds, it is easiest to break the necessary steps into two steps: configuring PageGate to accept messages from Solarwinds (input), and configuring PageGate to deliver accepted messages to wireless devices (output).
