9 Serial Interface In
NOTE: Included in Unite CM Compact license, but an additional license is required for the
Unite CM Enterprise license.
The input serial interface makes it possible to receive pagings from external equipment and
send them to handsets in the system. Note that the handset must be defined as a
messaging user, refer to 4.1 Add Users to Unite CM on page 19.
The serial interface supports the ESPA 4.4.4 protocol and two ESPA dialects; the Ascom
dialect (teleCOURIER) and Ericsson dialect with some limitations. The serial interface also
supports the TAP 1.8 protocol and a simplified protocol called the Ascom Line protocol.
A detailed description of the two ESPA dialects and the Ascom Line protocol can be found in
the document; Protocol, Serial Data Interface S942SI, TD 92088GB.
TAP (Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol) is a paging protocol used to transmit up to a
thousand 7-bit characters to an alphanumeric pager.
For limitations in the three protocols, refer to Appendix J.
Cables for the connections are found in Appendix B: RS232 Connections on page 202.
