Visual Pet is Salcom designed message router (The “Visual” relates to the configuration controls being like VisualBasic, VisualC++, The Pet relates to the first protocol designed, industry standardPET/TAP ) VisualPet configurations allow the routing of messages from multiple input sources to multiple output destinations, ie:

Inputs: (examples only)

Outputs: (examples only)

The VPGen protocol allows scripted configuration of just about any industry protocol. Salcom can create protocols to suit any application where a message or packet of information needs to be monitored, routed and delivered. Also protocols can be configured to operate using RS232 serial or TCP/IP. Eg: TNPP or PET over IP for long distance or network message delivery connections Each message route allows delivery to multiple destinations from a single source message.

The VisualPet router can translate contact, message type, and specific protocol information for any inbound and outbound message. For example an inbound PET message can be forwarded onto a pager through an 11-62 with a copy sent via email and TNPP to another paging vendor.

Multiple inbound and outbound messages can be handled at one time, with complete logging of all message transactions. A message delivery failure can generate an alarm route will contain the connection, contact and message that failed. Contacts within the router are easily added, modified and deleted.

If a new protocol is required Salcom can create a VPGen script or add a new protocol to the VisualPet protocol library. Recent VPGen scripts have communicated with GSM cellular modems or connecting via the internet to SMS gateways using SNPP or HTTP POST for txt delivery. New Protocols have been created for specific customers to decode serial data presented from satellite or paging receivers.
