WaveWare SPS-5 v9E - Manual (Page 35)

Appendix E – Extended ID Processing
The WaveWare v9E TAP Interface and COMP2 interfaces support ID field lengths from 1 to 10 digits.
The ID field can be formatted as follows:
 Standard Method - ID field lengths from 1 to 4 digits will cause a pager database lookup. ID fields of this
format must contain numeric digits only. The numeric ID value will be compared to the ID values stored in the
WaveWare v9E Paging Encoder’s onboard pager database.
 Extended ID Method - ID field lengths from 5 to 10 digits will cause Extended ID processing. Extended ID
processing assumes that the last 3 digits of the ID field define paging message encoding attributes, while the
preceding digits define the pager cap code. Extended ID processing allows you to avoid the process of
configuring a pager database in the WaveWare v9E Paging Encoder.
Extended ID fields should be of the form:
CCCCCCCERF, where C represents the Cap Code, E represents Message Encoding Type, R represents RF Data Rate,
and F represents Function Code.
The Extended ID field can be represented in either numeric or alphanumeric format. All Extended ID fields must be
between 5 and 10 digits in length to cause the paging system to perform Extended ID processing. Incorrect formatting of
extended ID fields causes a response combined with an explanation message.
CCCCCCC is a 2 to 7 digit numeric value representing a pager cap code. Leading zeroes are optional except in the case
of cap codes 8 and 9, which should be represented with at least one leading zero, e.g. 08 or 09.
E is the message encoding type, where “0” (zero), “n”, or “N” represent “numeric encoding”, and “1”, “a”, or “A” represent
“alphanumeric encoding”. The numeric values for E are provided to support numeric-only ID fields in paging control
software.
R is the RF data rate, where “5” represents 512 bps, “1” represents 1200 bps, and “2” represents 2400 bps.
F defines the function code to be delivered, where “1” is function code 1, “2” is function code 2, “3” is function code 3, and
“4” is function code 4. A function code of “0” is also valid. A function code of “0” causes the default function code for a
particular Message Encoding Type (“E”) to be substituted. The default value for F is “4” when the E value is “alphanumeric
encoding”, and “1” when the E value is “numeric encoding”.
