3.5 Sending Pages using the Telephone Interface
This section describes how to send a page with the OSMAC Base using a DTMF keypad-equipped
telephone. Note that the phone will not be answered until any "radio paging" command sequence in
progress is completed.
To send a page to a pager from the telephone interface, you must:
1. Dial the phone number of the telephone line connected to the OSMAC Base.
2. If the "Remote Paging" mode has been enabled from the Configuration Menu, the OSMAC Base will
answer the phone and send an "Enter Pager Number" prompt, which is a sequence of three beeps. If
voice prompts have been enabled, then a voice message will be heard instead of the beeps.
3. Enter the digits of the pager number you wish to page. If the pager's number is less than three digits
in length, then press the
*key to terminate the pager's number. Note that the *key is not used to
terminate three digit pager numbers.
4. If desired, optionally pause sending beeps and listen for a low / high tone sequence, which signifies
that the pager number was accepted. A series of alternating high and low beeps indicates an error in
the pager number or a timeout occurred. If voice prompts have been enabled, then a voice message
will be heard instead of the beeps.
5. Enter the numeric digits you wish to send to the pager. Do not enter any digits if you only wish to
"beep" the pager.
6. Press the
# key to send the page. You will hear a series of beeps increasing in pitch or a voice
message to indicate that the page was sent.
7. If a two tone pager with the "TONE+VOICE" function enabled has been paged, a voice prompt will be
given instructing the caller to speak a voice message. If a two-tone pager with the "TONE+PATCH"
function enabled has been paged, the phone patch will be connected automatically.
8. If the caller hesitates sending DTMF tones for a number of seconds, a series of alternating high and
low beeps or a voice message will be sent, indicating that a timeout occurred.
9. The OSMAC Base will then hang-up the phone line.
