• ALPHA (pager beeps and displays numbers and letters.)
The function type for TWO TONE pagers or GROUP TONE pagers is one of the following:
• TONE ONLY (send page tones only)
• TONE+ALERT (send an alert sound after the page tones)
• TONE+VOICE (permit phone caller to speak to the pager after sending page tones.)
Press the arrow keys to cycle through the list of functions. Press the F1 key when the correct function is
displayed.
5. If a TWO TONE or GROUP TONE pager has been selected, you will be asked to select the tone plan for
the pager. Use the arrow keys to scroll through the supported plan types. If the tone plan for your pager
isn't listed, then the pager's tone frequencies must be entered using the database upload command.
6. Once the function has been entered, you are prompted to activate the pager. Press F1 to activate it, or press
an arrow key to switch between Y and N on the display. Press F1 when the correct response has been
chosen.
7. The PAGE CENTER will ask whether the pager changes should be saved. Press F1 to select Y if you wish
to save the changes. If not, press an arrow key to display N, then press F1.
8. The PAGE CENTER restart back at the PAGER NO = prompt. It will automatically increment to the
next pager number. Press the - to exit the Program Mode when all of the pagers have been entered into the
database. Your entries into the pager database will then be saved in the internal FLASH memory.
5.2 Assigning a Group
The Group-Page feature is used to send the same page to a number of different pagers. Groups have numbers
just like pagers, and once you define a group and its members, you send pages to the group just as if it were a
single pager. When you assign a number to a group, it is important that the number is not the same as any
individual pager.
There is a limit to the number of pagers that may be assigned to any one group. This is listed in the
Specifications section of the PAGE CENTER User Manual.
1. To do the group assignments, select 2-Assign GROUP from the program mode menu. The display will
then show:
GROUP NUMBER =
SELECT GROUP
2. Enter the number of the group you wish to work on and then press the F1 key. Valid group numbers are 1
through 16. The display will then show:
GROUP X PAGER NN
assign pager number
Where X is the group number you wish to work on and NN is the pager number assigned to this group.
Important Note: when you wish to page this group, you will enter the pager number NN for it, not the
group number.
3. Use the DEL key to backspace over NN if you wish to change the pager number this group is referred to
by. If the pager number NN is already assigned to an active pager, the PageCenter will not allow you to
assign that number to the group and the pager number will be erased. If you wish to use NN for a group
number instead of an individual pager, you must first de-activate the pager. Section 3.1 describes how to
