ZlinkW Command Reference
The ZlinkW “note” command may be used to list the currently active test pages.
Examples:
Page a display pager 100 times with a counter on the display:
page 1234567 -c -d9876543210 -r100 -i1
Page a voice pager once with its own custom paging/insurance voice prompt:
page 5551212 -vp5551212 -r0
The -a option attempts to Align the test pages with the real-time clock. The range is 1 to
30. “
-a15 -i60” would put out pages at 15 minutes after the top of each hour.
In version 310J0 and later, the alignment switch (-a) uses the standard hours, minutes, and
seconds format (HH:MM:SS) for entering the paging time. The time may be entered in
either the 24-hour format or the 12-hour format with trailing “a” (AM) or “p” (PM). If the
alignment time entered is earlier in the day than the current system clock time, ZPAGE
assumes that the test page should be sent out at the entered time the following day. For
example, if the system clock reads 2:05 P.M. and you enter “
-a2:00p”, then the test page
will be sent at 2:00 P.M. the following afternoon.
The
-r option sets the number of test pages to send. If this option is not given, the value of
the Reminders setting in the
options.cus file is used (factory default is 7). So if you
want only one test page, be sure to specify
-r1. The range was one to 65000 in software
versions prior to 310J0. In version 310J0 and later, the maximum number of repeats for
test pages is two billion.
If you start up many test pages, then decide you do not want the pages to continue, use the
-k option. For instance, if you did “page 123 -r1000”, to kill the rest of the test pages
do “
page 123 -k”. If you have a number of test pages to kill, you can use this format to
kill several at once: “
page -k 555-1212 123-4567 876”.
The
-i option sets the interval between test pages if more than one is specified. If this
option is not given, the value of the ReminderTime setting in the
options.cus file is
used (factory default is 15 minutes).
When using software versions prior to 310J0, if you want a 1-minute interval, specify
-i1.
The range is 1 to 1000 (almost 17 hours). Due to this limit, it cannot currently be set to go
out once a day.
When using software version 310J0 and later, the interval between pages may be set to
any value between one second and 3,600,000 seconds (1000 hours). The following
examples show how to enter time periods in the new format.
+page 1234 -i12:34:52 ;12 hours, 34 minutes, 52 seconds
+page 1234 -i12:0:0 ;12 hours
+page 1234 -i12 ;12 minutes
+page 1234 -i0:12 ;12 seconds
You can suppress the usual voice message for a voice pager by putting just -v, with no
name, at the end of the command line. Likewise, you can suppress the usual display
