7.3 Glossary
Term Definition
Antenna Device used for boosting the signal of a transmitter.
Baud Rate The baud rate, the number of data bits and stop bits, and the parity are all properties
of the data format to be used for the serial port. You must make sure that you use
the same settings for these variables on both ends of a serial connection. The
Baud rate is the speed at which data is transmitted along the serial connection. A
Baud rate of 9600 is common though you may find older devices that use slower
connections. Some modems have problems establishing a connection at the lowest
baud rates.
Cap code The seven digit code number used to identify a pager. The valid cap code range is
0000008 – 2097151.
If the pager is a voice pager, the cap code is the three digit code assigned to it.
Contact Closure An alarm input that is activated by opening or closing a dry circuit.

no parity.
Pager ID A number used to uniquely identify pagers in the MAXPage database.
POCSAG RF Protocol used to communicate to pagers written by the Post Office Code
Standardization Advisory Group.
Power Adapter MAXPage requires a Regulated 12-13.8VDC, 2 Amp Power Adapter.
