When using this option, each line in the file must contain the subscriber’s name, a slash, then the
message text. Each line is terminated with a line feed character. Carriage return and line feeds

Pass-Through Paging
This feature, available only with the paging company package license, allows pages to be sent
directly using a PIN and Carrier name. Using this feature, the Subscriber database is not used,
only the Carrier database is needed. This feature is intended for paging carriers or Internet
Service Providers who forward messages directly to pagers.
To use this feature interactively, enter the number sign (#) followed by the PIN in the
subscriber name field of the message entry screen. The system will prompt you for the
carrier name.
To use this feature from the command line, the carrier name must be specified as the first
argument in the string. The carrier name is prefaced with "-c" and terminated with a slash (/).
To send a direct page to PIN 1234567 at the "Big Paging Company" the command line would
look like this:
dp "-c big paging company/#123456/test page"
To send direct pages using a file of pages:
dp "-c big paging company/-fpassfile.tmp”
Each line in the pass file would have the number sign and PIN in place of the subscriber name
followed by the slash and text.
