WaveWare SPS-5 v9E - Manual (Page 11)

Messaging:
The Messaging page is the default page displayed when you connect your web browser to the SPS-5 v9E paging
system. The Messaging page allows you to send test paging messages through the paging system, and to look up how
the encoder decodes Pager ID values. You can use Pager ID values that are programmed into the Pager Families
lookup table, or you can use Extended Pager ID values that bypass the lookup table. A typical Pager ID is
101 , and a
typical Extended Pager ID value is 101150 .
Pager Families:
 Click on the Pager Families tab to Add or Change the Quantity of Pager(s), Add or Change the Pager ID Number(s)
and Add or Change the Cap Code(s) and Baud Rate(s).
 The Function Code is
“Normally” set to 4 for Alphanumeric Pagers and set to 1 for Numeric Pagers. If there are
any errors on the page, the “Save Changes” button will be disabled until the errors are corrected.
 You can click the
“Clear All” button to reset the Pager Families table to default
 You can click the
“Sort by Start ID” button to sort the Pager Families table by the Start ID field
 You can click the
“Sort by Start Capcode” button to sort the Pager Families table by the Start Capcode field
 After Editing any Pager Information, click the
“Save Changes” Button at the bottom of the screen.
Pager Groups:
 Click on the Pager Groups tab in order to setup pager groups and any timed messaging functions at the bottom of the
list
 Scroll down the Pager Groups list to see the timed messaging functions
 After Editing any Pager Groups Information, click the
“Save Changes” Button at the bottom of the screen.
Predefined Msg:
 Click on the Predefined Msg tab in order to configure predefined messages
 Predefined messages are used as prefixes and suffixes, as required, in the Pager Families table, and are also used for
the timed messaging function that is configured in the Pager Groups page
 After Editing any Predefined Messages, click the
“Save Changes” Button at the bottom of the screen.
Serial Port:
 Click on the Serial Port tab in order to configure serial port operation
 The Serial Port Activity Resets Timed Paging function, when enabled, allows serial port activity to reset the timed
paging function that can be enabled in the Pager Groups page. This feature is typically enabled for supervised
connection applications where the host system, e.g. nurse call system, outputs serial port commands, such as
ATI or a paging message, at least once every minute or so. If the paging system fails to respond, the host
system can alert to a failed paging system. If the host system fails to output the ATI, the timed paging function
timer is not reset, allowing the assigned predefined message to be transmitted every 2 minutes. That timed paging
message is typically used to inform users that the host system is “down”
 The Assume Pager ID is Capcode for Serial Port function causes the paging encoder to try to process all pager ID
values arriving on the serial port as capcode values, and to not use the lookup table defined in the Pager Families
page. Note: The Network page allows definition of Use ID as Capcode for both network connections, which gives
you independent control of how each paging input port Pager ID values are interpreted by the paging encoder.
 After Editing any Serial Port Settings, click the
“Save Changes” Button at the bottom of the screen.
 Note: Serial port settings defined in the web browser don’t take effect until the encoder is rebooted. The encoder can
be rebooted by: 1) clicking the Reboot Encoder button in the Network page, 2) cycling power at the paging system,
or 3) using the Encoder Setup Software to program the encoder.
Network:
 Click on the Network tab in order to configure the Ethernet connections on the paging encoder
