2. The paging terminal and transmitters must be alphanumeric message capable.
3. The paging terminal must be P.E.T. (Paging Entry Terminal) protocol capable. P.E.T. is the
protocol utilized by message entry devices such as the Motorola Alphamate when directly connected
to the paging terminal.
4. There must be a direct connect serial port available on the paging terminal for a direct connection of
the unit or an alphanumeric modem port available for dial in access to the terminal.
5. The maximum distance (length of the RS-232 cable) between the paging terminal and the API-8/232
is 50 feet (15.2m) for a direct connection (without the use of short-haul modems etc.)
