Case 2: Passing a Phone Number to a Pager
Some pager systems will allow the caller to enter a phone number (or other ID
number), which is then relayed on to the beeper. When the person with the
beeper gets the call, he will know immediately from the number which dialer
has called. This is a good system if you are using multiple dialers, or have other
pager calls in addition to autodialers.
Example:
Consider the following example of initiating a call to a paging system. We will
assume here we don't have to dial 9 to get an outside line for this example. The
paging terminal phone number is entered, followed by a CPM wait *6 to wait
for the pager to beep. After that, an ID number is entered. Often the ID number
is simply the phone number at the Verbatim autodialer site.
A # terminator *8 is inserted. Finally, the characters *5 are added to designate
this phone session as a pager call and not a voice annunciation. Entry of
additional delay digits may be required for proper timing of the pager call
session.
The phone number string for this example with the first phone number calling a
pager, is:
701 2352456 *6 5481234 *8 *5
Program 702 548 7632 ENTER (this is the second phone number, to call the
foreman in case the pager call doesn't get through).

Exception:
With some pager systems, Call Progress Monitoring (CPM) on may cause a
delay that will not allow the pager message to be transmitted in the time
allowed. If this is the case with your paging system, either have CPM in the
default off state or, if you want CPM on, time delays can be used in the place
of *6 pause for tone detect. The critical task here is to time the delay from the
last digit dialed until the pager beeps. The delay time needed can be determined
by using a stopwatch or a clock with a second hand. You want to time this delay
to the nearest second, then add 1 second to be sure. Consult the diagram on
page H-20 to see the time line of events, then program the dialer.
Example 1:
Delays are added by pressing the MINUS # key on the front panel. Each delay
is normally 1 second, but can be programmed (using 928 N) to be any length
from 1 to 10 seconds.
