Alphanumeric Messaging

Pager IDs
You can use any number you want for a pager ID when doing direct alphanumeric paging.
For instance, suppose your incoming DID phone lines are 644-1000 through 644-1999,
and your WATS line overdial is 000 through 999. You can set up pagers in the Subscriber
database that are outside of either of these ranges, such as 999-1000, accessible only by
way of alpha paging. This lets you set up alpha-only pagers without “using up” precious
DID numbers. Alternately, you can set pagers up as usual within your ordinary phone
ranges, so you can call either way: from a phone to leave a numeric or canned alpha
message, or from an alpha entry device to leave text messages.
Alpha Messaging Stations
An alphanumeric messaging station is any sort of computer running a program that
permits an operator to enter paging messages by way of the industry standard Motorola
page entry protocol. This protocol provides for computers to prepare and store messages
from an operator without actually being connected to the paging terminal. Once the
messages are ready, the computer can automatically dial the phone, connect to the paging
terminal, and enter the messages one by one.
Zetron has software available for IBM compatible computers and Tandy Model 100/102
computers that support the Motorola page entry protocol. Call Zetron for details.
Nurse Call Systems
Nurse Call systems such as Rauland-Borg NCS 6000, Executone Futura 16-bit, or Dukane
2075 can be equipped for direct messaging into an alpha capable input port of the Zetron
Model 2100 and Model 2200. With such a connection, patient rooms and other inputs to
the nurse call system automatically send messages to numeric or alpha radio pagers. The
pagers display the Room #, Bed #, and Priority of the message. Basically, the radio pagers
become an extension of the nurse call console so nurses can become mobile and still
monitor patient room requests.
