8 Database Transfer
For convenience managing databases containing a large number of pagers, for backup purposes and to facilitate
cloning databases from one unit to another, the PAGE CENTER database may be uploaded and downloaded
from a host computer which is connected to either serial port which is configured for the TAP protocol.
8.1 Database Format
The PAGE CENTER database may be uploaded or downloaded as ASCII characters which can readily be
transferred, stored and/or edited as desired. The format of the database output is as follows:
DB1[0D]
VERSION,{VERSION},{OPTIONS},[0D]
SERIAL,{PORT},{BITS},{STOP},{PARITY},{FLOW},{BAUD},{TAP-TO},{COMP-TO},{MAN-TO},{PROTO},[0D]
MODE,{SPKR},{BUSY},{REMOTE},{CALL},{AP-TIMER},{VOICE},{WARMUP},[0D]
RADIO,{T-REF},{T-FREQ},{T-CTCSS},{BW},{R-REF},{R-FREQ},{R-CTCSS},{CD},{DATA},{TYPE},[0D]
AUTODIAL,{MEMORY NUM},{PHONE NUM},[0D]
PAGER,{0-999},{TYPE},{CAPCODE},{FORMAT},{GROUP},{ACTIVE},{DUR-A},{DUR-B},[0D]
GROUP,{NUMBER},{PAGER NUM},{MEMBERS},{SPARE},{MEMBER 1},…{MEMBER N}[0D]
DONE[0D]
