SECTION ЗА - KEYBOARD PAGING
USER NUMBER
Once in the User Paging mode, the permissible User Number range is always
displayed on one line and the input prompt is displayed on the next. Type
the number of the User to be paged. Leading zeros are not necessary. Enter
the Number by typing the CR key.
To leave the User Paging mode type CR without entering a Number. The
Terminal will respond by saying goodbye and returning to Idle State.
MESSAGE
The Message prompt asks for a numeric or for an alphanumeric message,
depending on how the User has been programmed. Message input will be
accepted up to the maximum length allowed by the Paging Format assigned to
the User. The CR key enters the message when it is ready. If no message is
entered, the Terminal will send a Tone Only page.
Numeric messages may consist of numbers and a few special characters,
depending on the type of pager.
PAGER TYPE
NUMERIC CHARACTER SET
Golay Numeric
0123456789 # E U - (space)
РОСSAG Numeric
0123456789 [ ] U - (space)
The Numeric Msg Formatting programming option (See Section 4A), when
Enabled, will automatically insert spaces and - (dashes) to Golay Numeric
messages so that they will appear as telephone numbers on the pager
display. If the Operator punctuates the message, the Terminal will
recognize it and not attempt to reformat it.
Example:
As Input to Terminal
As Received by Pager
6441300
12065551212
1234
206 644-1300
644-1300
1 206 555-1212
1234
206 644-1300
Alphanumeric messages can be almost as creative as the imagination (and the
pager capability) allow. Most P0CSAG type pagers will display both upper
and lower case letters. Motorola Golay pagers will display only upper case
but the Operator may type the message in either upper or lower case
letters.
