- [Com Port:] Determine which COM port your modem is attached to
- (1-4) and click on the appropriate COM port radio button.
- ( Default: Com1 )
-
- [Baud Rate:] Select a Baud rate (300, 1200, 2400, or 9600) and
- click on the appropriate radio button. The baud rate has no
- effect on PageMate since it is not communicating with another
- modem, however a baud rate is necessary to configure a serial
- port. You can use the highest or lowest baud rate your modem
- supports. The baud rate must be 1200 or higher for dialtone
- detection to work. ( Default: 1200)
-
- [Line Service:] Select whether you have Tone or Pulse line
- service and click on the appropriate radio button.
- ( Default: Tone )
-
- [Busy Redial:] Select whether you want PageMate to redial when it
- detects a busy signal. Note: Some older paging systems transmit a
- busy signal at the end of the call to indicate that the
- transmission was received. PageMate will sense that busy signal
- and attempt to redial if this option is "Yes". ( Default: Yes )
-
- [Transmit:] PageMate can transmit one of the following to your
- pager: 1) The Number specified in the Transmit Number field. 2)
- The Time the last call was received (hour:minutes). 3) A call
- Counter. Click on the down arrow button to select one of the
- three options. ( Default: Number )
-
- Note: Tone line service is necessary to transmit numbers to the
- paging service.
-
- [Modem Initialization String:] Enter a modem initialization
- string. Most Hayes compatible modems use the default string.
- Newer high speed modems may require appending additional codes
- (like &F2 for "PC" mode). If PageMate does not work correctly
- with your modem, consult your modem manual for details on it's
- command set codes. ( Default: ATE1Q0V1X4&C1&D2 )
-
- [Delay Secs:] Enter the number of seconds PageMate should delay
- before calling the pager. If you are using an answering machine,
- allow callers enough time to leave a message and for single-tape
- machines to rewind. Usually 3-5 minutes (180-300 seconds) is
- sufficient. ( Default: 180 )
-
- [Pager Number:] Enter the pager number (or other number) PageMate
- is to call and a comma for every 2 seconds PageMate should wait
- for the pager number to answer (the default pause of a comma on
- most modems is usually 2 seconds). Special characters, spaces,
- dashes, and parentheses can be included for readability and are
- usually ignored by modems. Six seconds is often enough time for
- paging services to answer before sending the transmit number,
- e.g.
-
- *70,555-5555,,,
-
- Translation: Dial *70 to disable call waiting, pause for 2
- seconds to get another dial tone, then dial 555-5555 and wait for
- 6 seconds before sending the number to be displayed on pager.
-
- [Transmit Number:] Enter the telephone number to be transmitted
- to the pager. Suffix the number with a pound sign (#) or other
- character required by your paging service to indicate
- transmission completed, e.g.
-
- 999-9999#
-
- Note: Tone line service is necessary to transmit numbers to the
- paging service.
-
- [Hangup Secs:] Enter the number of seconds to wait after dialing
- the pager number before hanging up the line. Allow enough time
- for the pager service's phone to ring, answer, and receive the
- number to be transmitted. I find that 20 seconds is adequate for
- my pager service, but yours may differ. 20-40 seconds is usually
- adequate. ( Default: 20 )
