Private
Cap codes 1 - 3 are fixed at “Private”. Cap codes 4 - 6 can be set to “Private” or “Public”.
If the tick-box is checked, then the cap code is set to
Private
, otherwise it defaults to
Public
. The
Private
option is used when the message has been sent to the pager for the
users instant attention. The pager will beep or vibrate on receipt of a message
depending on the call type or settings. For onsite paging this is normally the correct
option. The
Public
option is used when the message will be sent to a mail box. This
option would be used if you set a cap code to receive information reports (weather,
statistics, system status etc). This is sometimes used for wide area paging.
Auto Increment
These drop-down boxes next to each cap code are a handy function which allows the
cap codes to automatically increment upon successful writing of a pager. It can save
time when writing to a large number of coasters where you need some of the cap codes
to automatically increment after successfully writing.
NOTE: You can press the
Manually Increment
button to manual increment any of the cap codes
as per the setting in these drop-down boxes.
Serial Number
Enter the serial number of the pager if you wish to record it in the pagers memory. Note
that the serial number is by default the same serial number as the sticker on the rear of
the pager and gift box.
Don’t Write Serial Number
Tick this box to keep the existing serial number in the pagers memory.
Frequency
Enter the frequency that the pager will receive on. This must match the frequency of
your transmitter. The valid frequency range is shown next to this field. (454-462 MHz in
the figure above). The frequency range is shown on the rear sticker on the pager.
Baud Rate
This represents the POCSAG baud rate. The setting here must match that of your paging
terminal. Select between 512, 1200 or 2400 bps. In order to use 2400 bps, a hardware
modification is required to the pager.
POCSAG Polarity
Select either
Standard
or
Inverted
POCSAG polarity in this field. The setting here must
match that of your paging terminal.
