1.37 Managing Capcodes
Capcodes are used to address messages when they are transmitted to pagers. Capcodes are programmed
into the pager and these control which messages the pager should receive. Usually the capcodes are
pre-set in the pager and the user is not even aware of them. Capcodes appear as a 7 digit number
followed by a single character (a function code): A-D eg: 1233219A
1.37.1 Managing Capcodes
The capcodes in the X5 can be managed in two ways:
•
Pre-programmed (or Locked) capcodes
These capcodes are programmed into the pager before it is sold or distributed. They are
locked and cannot be controlled by the user. They can only be changed by returning
the pager to an administrator with the appropriate resources to manage them.
•
Dynamic Capcodes
Dynamic capcodes can be managed and configured once the pager is in use. The pager
can have additional capcodes added by an administrator and the changes are
transmitted to the pager using special OTA messages (
Air/Over-Air-Programming) Messages
). Dynamic capcodes can be removed or
modified by the central administrator. Dynamic capcodes can be turned on and off by
the user via the Administration menu (see Capcodes). They cannot be created or
deleted by the user.
•
Express Alarm (EA) Capcodes
Express alarm capcodes are specific EA-TONE-Only capcodes combined with EA-
Alpha or numeric capcodes. These capcodes are used to implement a group call
feature. Please refer to document
Express Alarm Spezification Version 4.0, Rev.2.0
22/12/00
for further details on Express Alarm.
1.37.2 Enabling and Disabling Capcodes
The user can enable or disable dynamic capcodes on the Capcode screen from each respective folder
(
See: 1.13 Inbox PageError: Reference source not found or 1.14 Folders Page).
If a capcode is
dynamic it is shown with a small selector box in front of the capcode. To toggle the capcode on and
off, select the capcode with the UP or DOWN button and then press the RIGHT button to change its
state.
