Protocol Descriptions
Salcom protocol is designed to optimize control, provide access to the full functionality of Salcom
products, and to provide a simple way to integrate Salcom products.
Telelocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP) is an industry-standard protocol for sending short
messages via a land-line modem to a provider of pager and/or SMS services, for onward
transmission to pagers and mobile phones. TAP defines an industry standard for sending
alphanumeric messages to pagers.
The Telelocator Network Paging Protocol (TNPP) is an industry standard networking protocol. Many
paging providers exchange pages to earn more revenue and to provide for a greater coverage
area. Pages are delivered between their paging systems via satellite, radio link or leased
telephone lines. Most systems in current use are networked using the Telelocator Network Paging
Protocol (TNPP). A group of connected paging terminals, running TNPP, will send, route and
receive pages among the group.
ESPA 4.4.4 is a standard protocol to exchange short messages between a PABX, nurse call system,
fire alarm system, building control system, SCADA/PLC system or other device, and an onsite
paging system. It was developed in Europe in the 80’s and despite its age it is still widely used in
hospitals.
Ascom compatible protocol allows your Salcom product to be integrated with the Ascom range
of products and other third party devices that use an Ascom compatible protocol. Ascom's
broadcast paging solution provides a set of products targeted at healthcare, aged care,
corrective and government facilities, where there is the need to send mission and life critical alerts
to large groups of people who may be anywhere in a facility.
Gaming compatible protocol provides a method to monitor gaming machines and allow gaming
machines, or their users, to be serviced with cash or drinks, or to action alarms. The 20-62 can
concurrently manage repeating messages from up to 40 gaming machines.
Austco compatible protocol allows your Salcom product to be integrated with the Austco range
of products and other third party devices that use an Austco compatible protocol. Austco is a
leading global provider of communication technology and software solutions for environments
where communication is critical, such as healthcare and secure facilities.
Match protocol can be used to initiate a paging message when any pre-defined “start” text string
is received on a serial port. The paging message text can be taken from part of the received string,
by specifying the start point, length, and “end” text as required. The start text must start on a new
line or start after a pre-defined period of inactivity. If the “end” text is specified, the message
includes all text from the start text to the end text, concatenating multiple lines if required. If no
end text is specified the message will end at the first carriage return, or after the specified number
of characters. If no start text is specified, all serial text will be sent. Messages are sent to all
CAPcodes in the database. There must be at least one CAPcode specified in the database.
