APPENDIX E – TAP RESPONSE CODES
The following is a table of response codes supported by the WaveWare v9E Paging Encoder. Please
note that a <NAK> response typically means the message should be resent by the host, and an <RS> response
typically means the message should be abandoned by the host.
Figure 24: Response Codes Table
RESPONSE CODE
DEFINITION
110 1.8
Paging system supports TAP Specification v1.8.
211 Page(s) Sent Successfully
Paging message(s) successfully delivered.
This message is accompanied by an <ACK>.
510 Invalid character in pager ID
Pager ID field contains illegal characters.
This message is accompanied by an <RS>.
511 Invalid pager ID - not in database
Pager ID was legal, but it didn’t match database
lookup. This message is accompanied by an <RS>.
512 Temporarily cannot deliver. Queue full.
Try later Paging System input buffer is full. This
message is accompanied by an <RS>.
514 Checksum Error. Exp XXX; Got: YYY
Checksum didn’t match the message block. This
message is accompanied by a <NAK>.
(
Note:
<ACK>, <NAK>, and <RS> are only representations of the lower order ASCII control characters output
by the paging system. <ACK> represents DEC 06, <NAK> represents DEC 21, and <RS> represents DEC 30.

APPENDIX F – EXTENDED ID PROCESSING
The WaveWare v9E TAP Interface and COMP2 interfaces support ID field lengths from 1 to 10 digits.
THE ID FIELD CAN BE FORMATTED AS FOLLOWS:
STANDARD METHOD
- ID field lengths from 1 to 4 digits will cause a pager database lookup. ID fields of this
format must contain numeric digits only. The numeric ID value will be compared to the ID values stored in
the WaveWare v9E Paging Encoder’s onboard pager database.
EXTENDED ID METHOD
- ID field lengths from 5 to 10 digits will cause Extended ID processing to be used.
Extended ID processing assumes that the last 3 digits of the ID field define paging message encoding
attributes, while the preceding digits define the pager cap code.
Extended ID processing allows you to avoid
the process of configuring a pager database in the WaveWare v9E Paging Encoder.
Incorrect formatting of
extended ID fields causes a <NAK> response combined with an explanation message.
