Introduction –
Z-500
Series
Paging Systems
Your
InterPage
Z-500 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
InterPage
Z-500 Series
Paging Encoders 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
InterPage
Z-500 Series
Paging Systems
can have a pager database programmed using the InterPage
Z-500
Paging Encoder Setup Software, or you can immediately use the
InterPage
Z-500 Series
Paging Systems
without programming.
Your
InterPage
Z-500 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.

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.
