5/6-Tone Paging
The 5/6-tone paging type provides a method to page a series of tone bursts that can be customized based on
the type of 5/6-tone paging and a 2-digit preamble. Motorola EIA 5/6-tone paging supports a
programmable preamble frequency and dual addressing.
5/6 Tone Paging Example
Using the tables below, the duration and frequency of each tone in a 5/6-tone page can be determined based
on the paging capcode. For example, if CCIR is the 5/6-tone paging type and the operator enters a capcode
of 10002, the console generates the following page.
As indicated in Table 22, the tone burst is generated three times with a 900-ms gap between each burst. If
the 5-tone diagnostic is enabled via CARD Suite, the tone burst is generated only once. Note that the
second “0” in the sequence is replaced with an “R”. This is a repeat tone. Since 5-tone paging is a
sequential burst of tones with no gap between tones, it is not possible to send two digits back-to-back using
the same frequency. Therefore, to allow the encoder to send two of the same digits back-to-back and allow
the decoder to recognize these digits, a repeat digit is used. When the decoder recognizes the repeat tone,
the digit decoded is the same as the previously decoded digit.
