As some of you may be aware, we now have the
capabilities to send via phone app emergency call information in
the same time interval that tones are being broadcast.
In the short amount of time that the software –
CodeMessaging(.net) – has been in use, it has already proven to be
beneficial.
Since I have had several people ask mostly the
same questions concerning CodeMessaging, I will attempt to cover the basics
on CodeMessaging and the associated phone app – CADPage.
CodeMessaging is the software company that has designed
a program to automatically pull specific data from the CAD computer in
dispatch.
The software constantly searches for certain criteria
and awaits a trigger to send the information to the different groups that we
have set.
When a 911 call is received in dispatch, the CAD
determines which primary station and primary medic unit is in the call’s
location.
Along with this information, the next 3 closest
stations are also given.
Depending on the type of call, a dispatcher will
enter the information and “Dispatch” in CAD the specific station(s), medic
unit, rescue, and/or Battalion.
This is the criteria and trigger that
CodeMessaging is looking for.
Specifically, the criteria is one or more of the following:
Station 01, Station 02…..Station 36, RESCUE, Rescue 01,
Rescue 18, Battalion 1, and Medic 01, Medic 06…Medic 26.
And the trigger is when one or more of the stations is/are “dispatched” in
the CAD.
Once CodeMessaging is activated by the trigger, the software will send the
call information to all phones assigned to that/those particular station(s)
on that call.

Subject: CADPage Phone Application **** You must be registered with CodeMessaging before you install the CADPage app! ****
CADPage is the app recommended by CodeMessaging and
there are several of us using it already with great results.
Information can be found here:
http://www.codemessaging.net/codemessagingcadpageinfo.php Highlights of this app include:
Also, the app information page states that CADPage is free for the first 30 days, then there is a $10 fee;
However for CodeMessaging accounts, it
remains free.
CADPage can be a little tricky to properly set up; I
will try to explain the process.
