3.5 Sending Pages using the Telephone Interface
This section describes how to send a page with the PAGE CENTER using a DTMF keypad-equipped telephone.
Note that the phone will not be answered until any "radio paging" command sequence in progress is completed.
To send a page to a pager from the telephone interface, you must:
1. Dial the phone number of the telephone line connected to the PAGE CENTER.
2. If the "Remote Paging" mode has been enabled from the Configuration Menu, the PAGE CENTER will
answer the phone and send an "Enter Pager Number" prompt, which is a sequence of three beeps. If voice
prompts have been enabled, then a voice message will be heard instead of the beeps.
3. Enter the digits of the pager number you wish to page. If the pager's number is less than three digits in
length, then press the
*key to terminate the pager's number. Note that the *key is not used to terminate
three digit pager numbers.
4. If desired, optionally pause sending beeps and listen for a low / high tone sequence, which signifies that the
pager number was accepted. A series of alternating high and low beeps indicates an error in the pager
number or a timeout occurred. If voice prompts have been enabled, then a voice message will be heard
instead of the beeps.
5. Enter the numeric digits you wish to send to the pager. Do not enter any digits if you only wish to "beep"
the pager.
6. Press the
# key to send the page. You will hear a series of beeps increasing in pitch or a voice message to
indicate that the page was sent.
7. After a short delay, the "Enter Pager Number" prompt will be given again. You may send another page if
desired by following the above sequence again.
8. If the caller hesitates sending DTMF tones for a number of seconds, a series of alternating high and low
beeps or a voice message will be sent, indicating that a timeout occurred. The PAGE CENTER will then
hang-up the phone line.
