21. Definitions for each parameter are given in paragraph 24.

22. Once a setting has been selected, the following message will be displayed:

‘....Writing to Eeprom - please wait.....Done’

and the Set-up screen will again be displayed.

23. For Serial Port Settings however, parameters are not written to the Eeprom until

‘W’ (Write to Eeprom) is selected from the Serial Port Set-up Menu.

Parameter Definitions

24. The Parameter Definitions are as follows:

DLC Each DLC has a configurable Receiver Number (Rx No), Beep Code (BC) and

Configuration Message.

a) Rx No Four digit code in the range 0000 - 9999. The Rx No will be

automatically prefixed with the System Address to form the RIC.

Group calls may be initiated in order to call a group of paging

receivers within a specified range of addresses by inserting the

wildcard character ‘G’ into the Rx No.

If one wildcard character is included as the least significant digit

then a group of 10 receivers will be called, eg: ’333G will

call receivers ’3330 to ’3339 (where ’ = SystemAddress).

If two wildcard characters are included as the two least significant

digits then a group of 100 receivers will be called, eg: ’45GG

will call receivers ’4500 to ’4599 (where ’ = System Address).

b) Beep Single digit in the range 1 - 8

Code

c) Message Mk6: Maximum length of 10 characters in the range 0 - 9,

(hyphen) and <Space>.

Mk7: Maximum length of 60 characters in the standard ASCII

character set ie,<Space> (Hex 20) through to ‘~’ (Hex7E).

Serial Port These parameters are for the V24/RS232 port and are set to match the

Settings External Device to which the Serial Encoder is connected. The selections are self

explanatory however, once the settings have been made, they must be

written to the Eeprom by entering ‘W’ ([W]rite changes to Eeprom).

NOTE: During set-up and test, the Serial Encoder communicates using a fixed

set of parameters (9600 Baud, 8 Data Bits, 2 Stop Bits, No Parity Bit).

The above Serial Port Settings only take effect during normal operation.
