Using Paging
Numeric Pager
The most basic form of paging is to use a numeric pager. This type of pager can only display
numbers or codes. When making an alarm notification call to a numeric pager you must enter the
RIC code of the pager into a suitable phone number slot (see function
F11
), and select a call
type. The call type will ether be
Call Type 8
(timed call using function
F54
)
or
Call Type
#
(call
progress detection)
.
Please Note: If you are using a PABX, you will need to add the access code for an outside
line and a pause.
Timed Call Using F54 Pager Delay time
This is the time from dialling the number to when the paging network answers the call.
The EDAC 400-02 sends the DTMF pager message at this point. You can determine
this time by dialling the pager network with a telephone and measuring the period
from dialling the number until the call is answered.
F02 Call Progress Detection
When using this setting, the dialler will attempt to detect the status of the call and
send the pager message in
F10
at the appropriate time. It is more common to use
Timed Call
using
function
F54
(
Pager Delay Time
).
When using the EDAC 400-02 with a pager, you will need to set a wait time between
calls (function
F53
) so that you can call into the EDAC 400-02 to cancel the alarm,
stopping further calls from being made.
Use function
F04
to set the number of rings before answer for an incoming call when
any input is active. Default is four rings before auto answer.
Use function
F03
to set cancellation options (Cancel by any key or PIN) for an
incoming call to the EDAC 400-02. Default is Cancel by any key.
Alpha-Numeric pager/Text messaging (SMS)
One of the options for making calls is to make the calls via an SMS/paging host computer.
SMS/paging is only configurable on the EDAC 400-02 using Hyper Terminal. See
‘Programming
using RS232’
in the
‘Application Notes’
section.
The EDAC 400-02 uses standard TAP protocol to connect and send SMS/Alphanumeric pages to
the host network. The EDAC 400-02 does not use ETAP or Pacnet.
If you are going to use SMS messaging to a cell phone, you may also need to subscribe to an
additional service for Telecom NZ 027 mobiles called "Mobile Note Direct". This service enables
the individual cell phone to receive SMS text messages from the TAP host. If you are in New
Zealand and have a GSM or ‘021’ cell phone you will need to talk to the manufacture for up-to-
date information on where to go to arrange access to a TAP host.
Notice to Australian Users:
The EDAC 400-02 is not compatible with SMS via TAP
services in Australia. The 400-02 cannot send SMS messages to cellular phones in
Australia.
You should contact your Telecommunications service provider regarding host access numbers,
IDs, passwords and subscriptions.
NOTE:
Some Paging networks charge an access fee.
