SECTION ЗА - KEYBOARD PAGING
KEYBOARD PAGING MODE
Keyboard Paging on the Model 16 is a simple question and response type
method for manually paging from a computer keyboard. There are actually two
variations of Keyboard Paging that can be used. The User Database Paging
mode is the complement of the Overdial Paging mode since it allows the
Operator to place pages to any of the subscribers stored in the User
Database. This mode is the most convenient for an actual paging operation
because the only inputs required are the User Number and the Message -
everything else being already stored in the User record.
The other Keyboard Paging variation, Full Capcode paging, is flexible
enough to permit signaling of any pager in the system. While flexible, it
is not as easy to use as the User Database mode because of the number of
questions that must be answered. Full Capcode Paging is intended as an aid
to Installation or for pager testing.
LOGON
The Logon procedure is described in "Section 3 - Operation." Select either
the User Database or the Full Capcode identity strings.
TIMEOUTS
While in Keyboard Paging operation, the Terminal starts a 30-second timer
whenever it is waiting for key input. If no keys are received in that time
the Terminal will Disconnect. The Timeout may be disabled through
programming.

In this Paging mode, the Operator can page any validated User in the Paging
Terminal. Operation is simple because there are only three prompts to
follow and no special codes or instructions to remember.
Enter "M" and CR at the "ID=" prompt. If the Security is Enabled, enter the
four character code and CR when prompted for it.
