The number is the phone number dialed by the caller to page the subscriber. With full 7-
digit phone number ID’s, ZbaseW automatically formats the ID field with a hyphen in
character position four. In PABX installations, subscribers are usually assigned short 3- or
4-digit IDs. When entering the ID you may type it with or without a hyphen, whichever is
easier.
If you enter less than four digits, you will see leading zeros put in front of the number. For
instance, if you enter 45, you will see 0045 on the screen. The number of digits you see
here is not necessarily the number of digits the user must dial. The configuration files on
the paging terminal control how many digits will need to be received from the phone
company, or overdialed by the caller. Thus, even though you see 0045 on the screen, users
might only need to overdial 045 if the terminal is set up for 3-digit overdial.
Unlike many older paging terminals, there is no necessary correlation between the
Subscriber ID and the pager capcode. Any ID can be used for any pager type and capcode.
For instance, you could set up ID 123 to set off a 2-tone pager capcode C123. However,
this is not necessary - ID 123 can just as easily set off pager capcode C492, or E967, or a
POCSAG capcode 1008315. You have complete flexibility in assigning IDs and capcodes.
Status
(1 letter)
This field tags the subscriber record as to what type of action will be taken with an
incoming call to this ID number. The possible actions are:
Some of the status settings require that additional information be entered in order to
configure a subscriber. When this is true, the field label will appear in bold and be
underlined. When you see this condition, double click on the Status
label (or in the status
field itself) and the window necessary for entering the additional data will open.
V Valid, this number is activated for paging. For valid records all fields are significant.
I Invalid, this gives you a way to turn off an old subscriber while marking the Id until the
Id loses its use by callers, or turn off a subscriber who is delinquent on payment.
U Unassigned, allocates a pager in the database without making it available yet for
paging. On PageSaver systems, if an existing pager is changed to status U, any custom
voice prompts and mailbox contents will be deleted from the paging terminal.
G Group call, this number is for access to a Group of Pagers in the Group call database
(see the Group Paging on page 139 for a full description).
A Alphanumeric, this number is for access from Motorola alpha protocol entry devices
such as Zetron’s Model 105. Only the ID and Status fields are significant for alpha
access.
P Prompt, this number is for access to the Voice Prompt system (option #950-9069).
Only the ID, Status, Security, and Voice Limit fields are significant for the voice
prompt system access. The Voice Limit is in the window linked to the Status field.
R Rotary access to PageSaver message retrieval. This Status makes this ID a second way
to access stored messages. When the number is called, all messages of the associated
ID will be played. The associated ID is set in the window linked to the Status field.
