Pager
Overview of OmniPager
The Local OmniPager is a standard feature on every Encore Operational
User Interface (OUI) workstation. It is a very simple mailing system that
enables OUI workstation users to send and receive short messages via the
Encore Network. Messages can be sent according to the category of the
required Destination(s): Station, User, Area or Broadcast.
Station
— message is sent to a specific OUI workstation, regardless of who
may be currently logged on there.
User —
message is sent to an individual user at whichever OUI workstation
that user is logged on.
Area —
message is sent to all users at OUI workstations within a predefined
or pre-configured work area.
Broadcast —
message is sent to all OUI workstations on the Encore Network.
The configuration of OUI workstations according to their specific work
areas and their individual identities is established by the System Adminis-
trator.
Note The Local OmniPager does not use mailboxes and does not keep a record of
transmitted and received messages. It does not advise the sender if the des-
tination OUI workstations are switched on or if the intended recipients are
logged on. Furthermore, messaging is restricted to the Encore Network; it
does not encompass the Internet or any other mailing system.
