Frame Number
(000 to 127, or blank)
The second group of characters that may appear on the pager label capcode is a four-digit
number. The first three digits are the frame number and the last digit is the battery cycle
(fffb). Valid values for this field are 000 through 127.
For most FLEX pagers this field should be left blank. When it is left blank, the system
calculates the proper frame number from information in the other fields (the calculated
value is not displayed). If the Frame Number is filled in the a value for the Battery Cycle
must also be supplied.
Battery Cycle
(0 to 7)
The Battery Cycle (also called Collapse Value) controls how often the pager “wakes up” to
check for incoming pages. The frequency with which the pager checks for messages
establishes the tradeoff between battery life and just how quickly a page can be received.
The range for valid entries is 0 through 7. When set to 0, the pager will check
approximately every two seconds, which results in the shortest battery life. When set to 7,
the pager will check approximately every four minutes (longest battery life).
If the Battery Cycle is given on the pager label, it will be the digit that immediately
precedes the Capcode Type letter (parameter “T”). If no Battery Cycle is listed on the label
leave this field blank and the default setting of 4 will be used. This will make the pager
check for new pages approximately every 30 seconds.
Capcode Type
(A-L or U-Z)
The Capcode Type (also called Alpha character) appears on the pager label just before the
long numeric address of the pager. The valid ranges for this parameter are A to L and U to
Z. This is a required field that is used to calculate the phase of the pager.
If this field is left blank (and it is not supplied in the Pager Label field), the value “A” will
be used internally.
Numeric/Alpha
(A, N, F, D, or T)
The Numeric/Alpha field reflects the pager’s capabilities and formatting.
A = Alphanumeric
N = Numeric, pager does not format the message (regular numeric)
F = Numeric, pager may format message (special numeric)
