will send the message “ 412-3433 ” at 1200 bps to a numeric pager with capcode 0765155. Note the
lack of commas and the implied leading zeroes on the capcode.
Example 4:
<SOH>3,1,145678<EOT>
will send a three beep tone/vibe only message at 1200 bps to a tone/vibe only, a numeric, or an
alphanumeric pager with capcode 0145678 and multiple tone/vibe cadence capability. Certain paging
receiver models may not be designed to respond to multiple tone/vibe cadence messages.
Example 5:
<SOH>2,1,145678<STX>412-3433<ETX><EOT>
will send a two beep tone/vibe only message at 1200 bps to a paging receiver with capcode 0145678.
Note that the portion of the string after the capcode is ignored by the paging system because the paging
message type was a paging message type of one to four beeps.
Example 6:
<SOH>450006123<EOT><CR><LF>
will send a four beep tone only message at 512 bps to a paging receiver with capcode 0006123.
RESPONSE TO ALL COMMANDS
The paging system will respond immediately to all commands, including Paging Message commands, Setup
Commands, and Status Commands, by echoing the Paging Message command back to the PC, and appending the
echoed command with a status message in one of the following formats:
<SOH><ACK>V..V,QQ,D,C,II<EOT>
The ACK response is sent by the paging system to the PC immediately following a command if the command
was understood by the paging system.
<SOH><NAK>EE<EOT>
The NAK response is sent by the paging system to the PC immediately following a command if the command
was not understood by the paging system or if certain errors occur.
<SOH> (Hex code 01) is used to mark the start of a message.
<ACK>
(Hex code 06) is used to indicate acknowledgement of valid reception of a command
from the PC.
V..V
Alphanumeric string that indicates the version number of the firmware in the paging
system. The version number is followed by a comma character.
QQ A one to two numeric character string that indicates the quantity of paging messages
that have been received by the paging system and not yet transmitted (Input Queue).
