To install PageSentry, simply copy the PageSentry application to your hard disk. You may want to copy the entire PageSentry disk for easy access to the online User's Guide, example AppleScript applications, etc.

Before starting PageSentry, verify that Open Transport (or MacTCP) has been properly installed and that the computer has a dedicated network connection. A dedicated connection is technically not required for PageSentry to operate, but without it PageSentry will be unable to connect to your Internet servers at any time of the day or night and will incorrectly report an error.

To get started, simply double-click the PageSentry icon to launch the application and a blank Status Window will open, as in Figure 1.
