Spok

Configuration Comparison

Spok Mobile can be set up in two different configurations: Enterprise or Pager Number. Depending on which configuration you choose, you may have access to different features in the application.

  • In the Enterprise configuration of Spok Mobile, devices register with a site’s host system (IntelliSuite/Spok Console, Smart Suite, or MediCall). A device which is registered with a specific site’s host system can access all of the contacts that are registered to that host system.
  • In the Pager Number configuration of Spok Mobile, devices register with a pager number instead of with a phone number or email address. This configuration is used by individuals who are already registered at a site, but who would like to switch from using a pager to using the Spok Mobile application. Please note that this configuration allows users to continue using an existing pager number, or a new pager number that is administered by Spok. In this configuration, you can manage messages with standard interfaces (telephone, TAP, WCTP, SMTP, SNPP, and HTTP).
