• Paging Input
The Paging Input Agent accepts messages from a variety of different external paging systems
and translates the paging messages into <page_officer> messages.
• MG4 Emulation
This agent allows the system to emulate a MG4 Alerter.A separate GD-92 Alerter Agent is used
to actually transmit the MG4 commands.
• Email
Future Agent. Provides an interface between GD-92 and Email.
• Unassigned
Any unassigned agents will be removed when the system is next restarted.
6.29 Port Number
Each user agent at a node has a different GD-92 port number, which is the final part of the system
wide address used to communicate with an agent. The router is always set to port 0. Other agents can
be set in the range 1 to 63.
In order to use the Multitone standby alerter system, each user agent in a brigade must be set to the
same port, e.g. all alerters will be port 30. Multitone engineering programs automatically read the port
number for a user agent; other systems will need to be reprogrammed if the port number is changed.
6.30 Notify Status Changes
If this parameter is set to Yes, any changes in MTA status will cause a message to be sent to the
network manager with the new status.
Some dialup MTA's have an Extended Status parameter. If this is enabled, extended GD-92 status
messages are sent with changes in dial-up states. Note that as these messages contain additional
information, they are not guaranteed to be compatible with all GD-92 systems, though all Multitone
GD-92 systems will correctly process them.
6.31 Minimum Priority
Each message type can be sent with a priority between 1 and 9, with priority 1 being the highest
priority.
Each MTA will only transmit messages with a priority equal to or higher (numerically lower) than the
value specified in this parameter.
If an upper digit is specified, this specifies an additional "test" priority for the MTA. Messages with a
priority EQUAL to this value will also be transmitted.
6.32 Connected To
This parameter specifies the current node that the MTA is connected to. For fixed MTA's (Private Wire,
Async etc) this will be programmed into the non-volatile table.
