Appendix B – Com Port Settings
You may be required to configure the Com Port Settings in the paging encoder to establish the appropriate operating
mode and serial communication parameters. Com Port Settings are Programmable using the v9 Encoder Setup Software.
This is done using the WaveWare v9 Series Encoder Setup Software that you can find on the WaveWare Product
Support CD (Shipped with each v9 Series Paging System) or from our Website at:
http://www.wirelessmessaging.com/SPS-5_Software.html
Your WaveWare v9 Series Paging System typically communicates with a PC or other host system via RS-232 at 9600
Baud, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. You can configure the paging system for other serial communication parameters.
The available operating modes include TAP Verbose, TAP Non-Verbose, COMP1, COMP2 Verbose, COMP2 Non-
Verbose, Scope and WaveWare Protocols.
 TAP and COMP2 Verbose means that the Paging System will include Human Readable Messages after
each Paging Request is received.
 WaveWare and Scope are Proprietary Single Serial Command Strings that includes Cap Code, Function
Code, RF Data Rate, and Message Values. Either protocol can be used as either Simplex or Duplex
Operation.
 COMP2 means that the Data Formatted as PagerID<CR>Message<CR> or GroupID<CR>Message<CR>
will cause the Message to be delivered to the Specified Pager ID or Group ID.
 TAP Non-Verbose reduces the Paging System Human Readable Response to 3-Digit Numeric Codes. In the
COMP2 Non-Verbose mode the response is reduced to none at all.
 The Non-Verbose modes are useful in situations where you want to minimize the Serial Data throughput
requirements which tend to allow Paging Messages to be delivered more quickly, or to achieve compatibility
with legacy host systems.
 COMP1 means that any Data received on the Serial Port will be sent to all Pagers in Group 1 stored in the
Pager Database. Refer to Appendix H for a definition of the COMP1 Protocol.
Refer to Appendix A for a definition of the TAP Protocol and Appendix I for a definition of the COMP2 Verbose and Non-
Verbose Protocols.
Independent of Operating Modes, you can configure the Serial Port Baud and Parity, and you can configure whether
Hardware or Software Flow Control is used.
To get to the Com Port Settings in the Paging Encoder v9 Setup Software, on the Main Screen click on “Settings”.
