4.5.1 Entering Config Mode

To enter Config Mode whilst at the Main Screen, press the

and

keys

simultaneously or by pressing F9 on the PS2 keyboard if installed.

NOTE: If the password feature has been enabled, you will have to enter this in before

proceeding.

IMPORTANT: This is the “Maint” password (set to 123456 by default)

Once you are in Config Mode there will be four menu options:

1.Pagers 2.Ports
3.Alarm 4.System

IMPORTANT: The “Alarm” menu item may not be available on all units as it is a

licensed option. Contact your place of purchase to enable the alarm inputs if needed.

4.5.2 Pagers

This section contains options to add, edit or delete pagers and groups from the database.

Pagers

You need to register a pager in the database before you can send any messages. At the Config
Mode menu screen, press

to select Pagers. You will then see the screen below

1.Pagers
2.Groups

Then press

to select Pagers. You will see the screen below. This is referred to as the

Pagers Menu.

1.Add/Edit Pager
2.Delete Pager

Adding or Editing a Pager

To add or edit a pager, press

to select Add/Edit Pager when in the Pagers Menu. Locate

a pager that you wish to use and determine its cap code. A cap code is essentially a 7-digit
‘phone number’ for a pager, except that more than one pager can have the same number.

NOTE: Pagers supplied by Commtech include an information sheet that identifies

the cap code. Some pagers display their cap code through the menu on the pager.
Contact your service centre for assistance if you are unable to determine your pagers
cap code.

The following screen will then be displayed:

ID[ ] [ ]
Capcode[ ]

Enter a Pager ID using the keypad in the ID field. Press the

key to move along

to the next field if required. If the Pager ID already exists in the database, the details
for that ID will be displayed in the fields. If the Pager ID is not in the database, all
fields will be empty ready for data entry.

NOTE: A Pager ID is a reference number that identifies pager(s) in the database. It

contains the cap code and pager type information.
