Autoformat Display
Phone numbers are easier to read with “-” hyphen delimiters. Therefore, if your POCSAG
pager is capable of 12 digits or more, you should check this box to indicate “Yes”. Then,
7-digit local phone numbers entered by callers will display as eight digits nnn-nnnn; and
10-digit long distance numbers as 12 digits nnn-nnn-nnnn. It is assumed that callers will
not be entering long distance numbers prefixed by a digit 1.
(See the Autoformat Display Phone Numbers on page 41 for details.)
Send Empty Message
Leave this check box blank for “No”. This reduces or eliminates the number of tone-only
pages that a pager receives.
Leaving this box unchecked eliminates tone-only pages to a display pager. When set to no,
if a caller hangs up without entering any digits, no page will be sent. Subscribers like this
feature. This field should almost always be blank for display pagers.
Check this box if the subscriber wants a page even if no message is given, or if you are
setting up a tone-only pager.
GSC Pagers (Golay)
Golay Sequential Code (GSC) enables pagers to do display and voice paging. A variety of
pagers are available with the GSC format. These include the BPR-2000, Bravo, Envoy,
OPTRX, and PMR-2000 models.
Caution! The brand of pager does not indicate the paging format. For
example, you can purchase BPR-2000 with 5/6-Tone, GSC, or
POCSAG formats. Be sure you know, or consult the pager’s
service manual before you do a lot of work entering pagers
into the database.
