For each entry in an incoming call, the System Directory is searched first and any address match in
the User column is translated to the value in the Address column. This process is then repeated using
the User Directory.
At each stage, multiple destinations (comma separated) are expanded and subsequently processed
as individual entries.
The directories may be used to translate both alpha and numeric page addresses.
Once any input has been translated, each destination is processed as follows:
• Destinations containing @ are treated as emails and sent to the default mail agent.
• Destinations starting with + are considered to be SMS calls, and sent to the default gateway
agent.
• Destinations starting with $ are treated as System Pages:
o $SND=xxx plays sound xxx on the default sound agent
o $SET=n sets output n (1..16) on the default peripheral agent.
o $CLR=n resets output n (1..16) on the default peripheral agent.
o $POP pops up the message on the default mobilise agent.
o $SCR sends the message to the default scroll-board agent.
o $PRN prints the message on the default printer.
• Numeric and two letter alpha calls are treated as page calls, and sent to the destinations listed
in the Wide Area table.
Each table entry has four fields:
• User
The User can be any sensible alphanumeric combination, e.g. 1234, Fred, TA All
comparisons ignore the case of any letters.
• Address
This contains the destination address or a list of addresses separated with commas.
• Format
This field is currently unused, however some external databases will ignore entries with an X
in this field.
• Message
This field is currently unused.
6.53 Transmitter Selection
For some applications, it is necessary to modify the transmitters used for a specific call. This is done
by adding transmitter selection commands to the destination for that call.
• If a destination is *transmitter, then any errors from that transmitter will be ignored. If an error
does occur, a warning message will be shown in the main log, but the original call to the
Paging Agent won't be failed for this reason.
• If a destination is -transmitter, then that transmitter will not be used for this call. Note that
