Introduction
Your WaveWare v
8
Paging System allows you to send paging messages to one or more persons via
pagers, and devices that incorporate
POCSAG
paging data receivers. You can setup automatic
transmission of messages or you can compose messages on the fly and transmit them immediately. The
WaveWare Paging Encoder can be provided in either standalone form or bundled with a radio transceiver
to become a paging system.
When you attach your paging system to a PC or other Host Device, plug in the provided power adapter,
and install and activate your paging software, you will be ready to make full use of the paging system.
The WaveWare v
8
Paging System can have a pager database programmed using the WaveWare Paging
Encoder Setup Software, or you can immediately use the WaveWare v
8
Paging System without
programming.
Your
WaveWare
Paging Encoder, using v8.XX firmware, has the following capabilities:
Serial Port Controlled Operation
via RS-232 Serial Port with “Programmable” Communication
Parameters. Baud rates of 300, 1200, 2400, and 9600, with None, Even, and Odd parities. Default
setting is 9600 N81, unless specified differently by Customer Requirements.
Single or Dual
RS-232 Serial Com Ports (Dual is Optional)
2 or 5 watts,
2 watts effective radiated power with approximately 1 mile range, depending upon
terrain and obstructions. 5 watt Model also available.
UHF Band
(450-470MHz) Synthesized Transceiver. See the Label on the back of the SPS-5 v8 Paging
System to Identify the Operating Frequency of the Paging System. (Optional VHF Band)
Industry Standard POCSAG
Paging Protocol Covering the Full Range of Paging Functions,
Including:
512, 1200 and 2400 bps RF data rates, auto-switching
Alphanumeric (Text), Numeric and Tone/Vibe Only Paging Message Formats
Multiple Tone and Vibration Patterns
Batch Message Delivery, with up to 240 Characters per Message (500 Characters in WaveWare
Mode)
Support for Multiple Paging Control Protocols
, Including:
TAP v1.8 (Variations also known as IXO and PET)
Extended TAP (TAP Compatible Extended Interface Supporting Embedded Control Characters
and Paging Message Encoding Parameters Appended to the Pager ID)
Simplex TAP, a Single Serial Command String Composed of a Standard TAP Message Block.
NOTE: Simplex TAP is the Recommended Interface Protocol for System Developers.
COMP1, Delivery of <CR> or <CR><LF> Delimited Data to One or More Pagers
COMP2, a Command String Composed of PagerID<CR>Message<CR>
SCOPE, a Proprietary Single Serial Command String that Includes Cap Code, Function Code,
RF Data Rate, and Message Values. Scope Protocol can be used as Either Simplex or Duplex
Operation.
WaveWare, a Proprietary Single Serial Command String that Includes Cap Code, Function
Code, RF Data Rate, and Message Values. WaveWare Protocol can be used as Either Simplex
or Duplex Operation.
Programmable Carrier Signal Detection
, Which allows the Automatic Delay of Transmission while a
nearby Transmitter of the same Frequency is Operating.
