6Paging System OperationYour WaveWare Paging System includes a UHF transceiver, and onboard RS-232 communications, that transmitspaging messages using the industry standard POCSAG paging protocol. The RS-232 communications allow you tointerface the paging system to a PC or to other devices and systems that use RS-232 serial communications (HostDevices). Other models of WaveWare Paging System products include encoder only models, and the combinationof the paging encoder with VHF and UHF radio transceivers.The types of paging receivers that are compatible with your WaveWare Paging System include:! Any POCSAG compatible paging receiver operating on the same frequency as the paging transmitter (inthe UHF band) and operating at 512, 1200, or 2400 bps data rate. Pagers of this type include tone/vibe,numeric, and alphanumeric models.! WaveWare Wireless Message Centers, operating at the same frequency as your paging system. WaveWareWireless Message Centers are normally configured to receive at a 512 bps data rate.The paging system may be controlled by a PC, or other control system, that is running software designed tointerface to the paging system. WaveWare wireless communication systems software is designed to take fulladvantage of the features of your WaveWare Paging System. The TAP, WaveWare, COMP1, and COMP2interface protocols are defined in this handbook to allow you or others to develop software or devices to directlycontrol the transmitter.The paging system maintains an input buffer, which can continuously receive commands from the Host Devicewhile paging messages are being transmitted. When a command is received from the Host Device, the pagingsystem responds with a message back to the Host Device. The paging system encodes the paging messages intoPOCSAG paging format and transmits the encoded paging message to the paging receivers of your choice.PC software developed to utilize the WaveWare Paging System can be designed to maintain a simple database ofpager ID numbers, or the software can be designed to allow definition of paging receiver attributes, including: Pager TypeΦ Tone/Vibe Only, with or without multiple tone/vibrate cadencesΦ NumericΦ Alphanumeric Capcode - The unique address assigned to each paging receiver RF Data RateΦ 512 bpsΦ 1200 bpsΦ 2400 bps Function Code – One of four values that pagers can use to change how the behave when receiving a newmessageThe Transmitter Unit may require the setting of an onboard DIP switch to change communication interfaceparameters. Refer to Appendix B – DIP Switch Settings for details on how to configure the DIP switches, asrequired.If you want to use the TAP interface protocol with 1 to 4 digit pager IDs, you will need to configure a pagerdatabase, using the WaveWare Paging Encoder Setup software. You can obtain the WaveWare Paging EncoderSetup software either from the WaveWare Product Support CD or from the WaveWare web site, at:http://www.wirelessmessaging.com/media/encodersetupv7/WWEncoderSetupV7.exe |
