WaveWare SPS-5 v9E - Manual (Page 32)

Appendix B – Com Port and Network Settings
You may be required to configure the Com Port Settings and/or Network Settings in the paging encoder to establish the
appropriate operating mode and communication parameters. Com Port Settings and Network Connection Settings are
Programmable using the v
9 Encoder Setup Software.
This can be done using a web browser or using the WaveWare v9 Encoder Setup Software that you can find on the
WaveWare Product Support CD (Shipped with each v9E Paging System) or from our Website at:
http://www.wirelessmessaging.com/SPS-5_Software.html .
Your WaveWare v9E Paging System typically communicates with a PC or other host system via RS-232 at 9600 Baud, 8
data bits and 1 stop bit. The paging system typically communicates on network connections using an IP port value of
3101. You can configure the COM port and each of the two network connections of the paging system independently 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, COMP2, and SNPP means that the Paging System will include both a Pager ID value and Human
Readable Messages with each paging request.
 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 PagerIDMessage or GroupIDMessage
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 .
For serial port operations, 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 and the Network Connection Settings in the Paging Encoder v 9 Setup Software, on the
