External Paging Provider Destination Parameter RAW Oparam Programming
The term oparam is short for operating parameter. Oparams define the requirements for
connecting with an external paging provider from your M640 by way of the TAP protocol.
1. Gather the following information:
• Modem numbers of all remote paging providers that pages will be sent to
• TAP data transfer baud rate for each provider (we support up to 9600 baud)
• Data bits, data parity, and stop bits for each provider (usually 7 data bits, even parity, and 1
stop bit for TAP)
• Whether provider requires 10-digit subscriber IDs
• If 10-digit subscriber IDs required, the area code for each remote paging provider
• Arbitrary 8-character destination names for all paging providers to be dialed (for example,
PAGENET to dial “Paging Network Inc.”)
Please use Table 1 to record the required information for each provider.
