TNPP Limitations and Specifications
Using TNPP with ZbaseW v310 and Zpage v310
Checking ZbaseW Configuration
If you are upgrading to receive Satellite TNPP paging, the 950-9347 option, and do not
have a duplex option (950-9346) then there are no changes or updates to ZbaseW and you
do not need to check your ZbaseW configuration. If you are upgrading to include full
TNPP Networking, first do any ZbaseW updates shipped as part of your upgrade.
Then verify you now have Networking available. Start up ZbaseW, choose Edit
Subscribers (or View Subscribers), go to an existing record, and move the cursor to the
Transmitter(s) field. If the HELP window shows an entry for network, such as “N =
Network Destination”, it verifies your ZbaseW now has the Networking option. If not, call
us.
Outgoing Pages - Multi-node Systems
Outgoing Network pages are selected by typing an “N” in the Transmitter(s) entry, and
then entering the desired network destination name in the Node ID field. If this is to be an
ID page then the ID field should be filled out as well. For capcode pages, the pager
information must be fully filled in, just as for local RF pages.
For each outgoing address, the information we need is:
• Destination name and the corresponding TNPP address (tell us whether it is stated
in decimal or hexadecimal).
• Whether the page is going out locally, is to be routed elsewhere along the network,
or both.
• If going out locally, put to what Channel(s) & Zone(s); if going back out to the
network, put to which node and what address.
• Which local (ZbaseW) priority should cause a page to be sent as a high priority
network page. TNPP pages have two priority levels, ordinary and high.
Incoming Pages - Multi-Node Systems
To tell the system where to put out pages that it gets from the network. You need to tell us
what you want to happen for each incoming address. (There is nothing for you to do in
ZbaseW, all configuration is done on the paging terminal).
For each incoming address, the information we need is:
• Incoming TNPP address (tell us whether it is in decimal or hex).
• Whether the page is going out locally, is to be routed elsewhere along the network,
or both.
• If the pages are to be transmitted locally, are they capcode or ID pages. If they are
capcode pages then you will need to tell us if the TNPP channel and zone values are
of importance, and if so how are they to be used locally. The TNPP channel and
zone may be used as extensions of the TNPP node ID, a particular TNPP channel
and zone may be mapped to a local RF channel and zone.
