If you require any special dialing features in order to place an outside call through your
office telephone system, consult the documentation for your modem and add the necessary
characters to the dialing string.
If no prefix is added, ZbaseW defaults to behavior consistent with a prefix of “B5760”
(connect at 57,600 baud and then shift baud rate after connection if necessary). If other
behavior is required, a different prefix should be added.
Local Connections
The letter “L” is used to indicate that a direct local connection is being used; from the
serial port on the PC to the serial port on the paging terminal. If no additional information
is provided in the dialing string, the default baud rate of 4800 will be used. An entry in the
format of “Bxxxx” is used to set the baud rate used for the connection. The string “xxxx”
is a 4-digit number for the baud rate.
B0300 = 300 baud B1440 = 14,400 baud
B1200 = 1200 baud B1920 = 19,200 baud
B2400 = 2400 baud B2880 = 28,800 baud
B4800 = 4800 baud B3840 = 38,400 baud
B9600 = 9600 baud
The string for specifying the baud rate and indicating that a local serial connection is in
use can be entered in two ways. You could type “B3840L” or you can type “L3840”. Both
strings are interpreted the same way by ZlinkW.
Network Connections
The letter “N” is used in the Phone Number field to indicate that a network connection is
being used. The “N” is followed by the IP address of the paging terminal and the port
number being used on the network-to-serial port adapter attached to it. The address and
port number are separated by a colon. For example, the following string indicates the
connection is a network connection to IP address 169.254.4.229 through port 2101.
N169.254.4.229:2101
