UCP is the most common pager protocol used in Europe.

Usually, this will be the recipient’s pager number, but some service providers
will require you to prefix or postfix additional numbers to it.
• “Password (if any)” textbox—enter the password for the paging service. This will
have been provided by your paging service provider.

and Tone messages.

response times out.
• “Operation type” dropdown—allows you to choose the appropriate UDP operation
type: 01, 03, 50, or 51. This information will have been provided by your paging
service provider.
If in doubt, select 01, which allows for simple messaging. The other
operation types offer a superset of that functionality.
