Introduction – v 9 Series Paging Systems
Your
WaveWare v 9 Series Paging Systems allow 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 v 9 Series Paging Encoders can be provided in either a Standalone Form or be bundled with a
Radio Transceiver to become a Complete 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 9 Series Paging Systems can have a pager database programmed using the WaveWare v 9
Paging Encoder Setup Software, or you can immediately use the WaveWare v 9 Series Paging Systems without
programming.
Your WaveWare v 9 Series Paging Encoders, using v9.XX firmware, have 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.

V9 S Single or v9 Dual - RS-232 Serial Com Port(s)

2 or 5 watts, 5 watts UHF effective radiated power with approximately 2-3 mile range, depending upon
local terrain and obstructions. (Optional 2 watt model also available)

UHF Band (450-470MHz) Synthesized Transceiver. See the Label on the back of the SPS-5 v 9 Series
Paging Systems to Identify the Operating Frequency of the Paging System. (Optional VHF Band Available)
