Multiport for TNPP and TAP Outdial

• 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.
• What priority to assign to these incoming pages (like ZbaseW priority). Please note
that TNPP pages have two priority levels, ordinary and high. You may choose
which ZbaseW style priorities to assign to the two network priorities.
Using this information, we will set up the configuration for the terminal in the
“network.cus” file.
Network CUS Parameter File
network.cus is a configuration file on the paging terminal. It is not needed unless you
have one of the TNPP Network options. It is used to relate base network destination names
to actual network addresses, and to select how incoming pages will be transmitted locally.
One type of entry in the
network.cus file is the Outbound entry, which is used to map
from a TNPP destination name to actual network addresses. It is also used to determine
how to treat the priority level of outgoing pages. This entry may also be used to set the
TNPP channel and zone of capcode pages, and to attach local RF channel and zone values
to network destination names.
Another type of entry is the Inbound record, which is used to determine what to do with
incoming network pages that the network card passes along to the terminal. It is used to
select ranges of node addresses to respond to. TNPP channel and zone values, on capcode
pages, or subscriber ID values, on ID pages, may also serve as selection criteria. Finally
the Inbound record is used to describe what RF channel and zone information to use with
pages that match its selection values.
Refer to the “System Configuration Files” section later in this manual for general
information on configuration files.
Configuration - TNPP Addresses
In addition to the information shown for the basic Multiport card, the following is needed:
• The incoming TNPP address(es) - our ID(s) that the other machine(s) on the
network will know us by.
When the other system sends a page, part of the information packet is an address.
Since there can be multiple paging terminals on a network, we need to know which
address means us (or which addresses mean us if Multi-Node). Each address is set
in the oparam.cds file. Therefore, you need to find out the address(es) that the other
system will be sending to us, and tell us.
• The outgoing TNPP address(es) - the ID(s) of another machine or machines on the
network where we will send outgoing network pages.
This depends on what the other system's address is (or system addresses are if
