Pager ID
The Pager ID or Personal Identification Number (PIN) is a number assigned to each
pager. Many service providers use a numeric pager number as the Pager ID. Note that
in the following example, the modem access number, also called the Pager Number
(entered as described in the preceding panel) is distinct from the Pager ID. The
following example is typical:
Modem Access Number: 800-123-4567
Pager ID:
5551212
NOTE
Your service provider may also assign you a numeric pager number
depending on the pager service you use. Do not add the area code in the
Pager ID if your provider uses the numeric pager number as the Pager ID.
Modem Dial Prefix
The Modem Dial Prefix is the initialization string that configures the modem
specifically for TAP paging. The modem initialization string specifically resets the
modem for relatively slow TAP paging operations which normally operate at 300
baud. Note that a different initialization string is used to set the modem for normal
telecommunications operation.
As the following diagram shows, connecting to a pager service and sending coded
event messages is a straightforward process.
