Local Wireless Paging Information

To configure the local wireless paging information (see Figure 3-11), follow the steps
below.

1) Select the specific type of pager used, numeric or alphanumeric.

The system defaults to numeric paging.

2) Enter the seven-digit CAP code in the “Local Pager ID” field, usually stamped

on the back or side of the pager. The CAP code enables the system to signal
the appropriate pager.

Wide Area Paging Information

To configure the wide area paging information (see Figure 3-11), you must have a
detailed knowledge of the specific paging service, including contact numbers, service
messages, prompts, etc. Using the information entered, the PCI builds a script that
enables the unit to access the paging services automatically. The script identifies the PIN
code (if required) and other information necessary to automate paging. Experienced
users can enter script information directly using the appropriate script abbreviations.

W precedes the digit representing the wait time (in seconds) before proceeding to the

next step in the paging process. Actual wait time depends on the specific paging
service and its associated user prompts and timing. Wait time can be from one
to nine seconds .

NOTE: Longer wait times can be obtained by using multiple instances. For

example, to obtain a 15 second wait time, simply enter W9W6
(or, 9 + 6 seconds = 15 seconds).

M indicates where in the script the caller’s telephone number is to be inserted.
All other digits, including

*

(star) and # (pound), are sent in the sequence specified by

the string.

For example, to enter the wide area paging information for User A:

1) Enter the Wide Area Phone Number for the associated paging service. This

should include specific dialing information (e.g., a “1” before the area
code, etc.).

2) On the Wide Area Information field, type W7 to instruct the system to wait

seven seconds after dialing the paging service access number before
entering the PIN.

3) Type the PIN for the specific user, e.g., 1234567#.
