DONE is received by the PageCenter, it will copy the database into its FLASH memory only if no errors were
detected.
8.3.1 Erasing Pagers or Groups from the Database
Uploading the database file to the PageCenter only adds and re-programs the pagers and groups specified. It
does not erase other pagers with entries stored in the unit's memory.
If you want the pager database erased, use a text editor to add a line before the first PAGER entry in the
database. The only characters on the line should be:
ERASEDATABASE[0D]
This will tell the PageCenter to erase whatever is in its database before it adds the new pagers and groups from
the ASCII file. If you only wish to erase the group information, and not the individual pagers, put a line in the
file that reads:
ERASEGROUPS[0D]
8.3.2 Programming Two-Tone Pagers with Non-Standard Frequencies
Two-tone or group-tone pagers using non-standard frequencies and durations may be programmed via the
database upload command. Use a text editor to create an entry in the database file for the pager as follows
before uploading the file to the unit:
PAGER,{0-999},{TYPE},{CAPCODE},{FORMAT},N,{ACTIVE},{DUR-A},{DUR-B},
Where:
PAGER Signifies that this line is the data for a pager
{0-999} Pager number for the pager
{TYPE} Pager type: TONE, ALERT or VOICE
{CAPCODE} Bits 0 to 15 = First tone's frequency in units of 1/10 Hz
Bits 16 to 31 = Second tone's frequency in units of 1/10 Hz
{FORMAT} Paging format: TWO-TONE or GROUP-TONE
{ACTIVE} Is either Y is the pager is enabled, or N if it is de-activated
{DUR-A} Duration of the first tone in units of 50 mS
{DUR-B} Duration of the second tone in units of 50 mS. Set to 0 for group-tone pagers.
8.3.3 Programming the Unit's Configuration
The unit configuration data stored in the SERIAL, MODE, RADIO and AUTODIAL entries are normally
ignored when the database file is uploaded to the PageCenter as a security feature in order to prevent
unauthorized users from changing the unit's configuration.
If it is desired to change the PageCenter's configuration with data downloaded previously from a PageCenter
unit, use a text editor to add the following line to the database file immediately after the "DB1" entry:
PASSWORD,xxxxxx,[0D]
Where xxxxxx is the same password required to access the Configuration Mode from the PageCenter's front
panel.
