Page 9 of 59Paging System OperationYour WaveWare v8 Paging System includes a UHF Transceiver and an onboard Single or Dual (Optional) RS-232communications, and encodes paging messages for RF transmission using the industry standard POCSAGpaging protocol. The Programmable RS-232 communications allow you to interface the encoder to a PC or toother devices and systems that use RS-232 serial communications (Host Devices). Other models of WaveWare v8Paging System products include encoder only models, and the combination of the paging encoder with VHF andUHF radio transceivers.The types of paging receivers that are compatible with your WaveWare v8 Paging Encoder include: Any POCSAG compatible paging receiver operating on the same frequency as the paging transmitter (inthe UHF band) and operating at 512, 1200, or 2400 bps data rate. Pagers of this type includealphanumeric, numeric, and tone/vibe models and can be obtained from WaveWare Technologies,Motorola, NEC, Panasonic, and others. WaveWare Wireless Message Centers operating at the same frequency as your paging system.WaveWare Wireless Message Centers are normally configured to receive at a 2400 bps data rate.The WaveWare v8 Encoder may be controlled by a PC, or other control system, that is running software designedto interface to the encoder. WaveWare wireless communication systems software is designed to take fulladvantage of the features of your WaveWare v8 Paging Encoder. The TAP Interface Protocol is defined in thishandbook to allow you or others to develop software or devices to directly control the transmitter.The WaveWare v8 Encoder maintains an input buffer, which can receive commands from the Host Device while apage is being transmitted. When a command is received from the Host Device, the v8 Encoder responds with amessage back to the Host Device. The v8 Encoder encodes the paging messages into POCSAG paging formatand transmits the encoded paging message to the paging receivers of your choice.PC Software developed to utilize the WaveWare v8 Paging Encoder can be designed to maintain a simpledatabase of pager ID numbers, or the software can be designed to allow definition of paging receiver attributes,including: Pager Type Alphanumeric Numeric Tone/Vibe Only, with or without multiple tone/vibrate cadences Cap Code - The unique address assigned to each paging receiver RF Data Rate (Also called the Pager’s Baud Rate) 512 bps 1200 bps 2400 bpsRefer to Appendix A – TAP Interface Specifications, for details on how to communicate to the WaveWare v8Paging Encoder via the TAP Protocol.The WaveWare v8 Paging Encoder unit may require the Programming of the Serial Com Port Settings andProtocols to change communication interface parameters. Refer to Appendix B – “Com Port Settings” forinformation on how to program the Com Port Settings and Protocols, as required.If you want to use the TAP Interface Protocol with 1 to 4 digit pager IDs, you will need to configure a pagerdatabase, using the WaveWare v8 Paging Encoder Setup software. You can obtain the WaveWare v8 PagingEncoder Setup Software from the Product Support CD or from the WaveWare web site, at:http://www.wirelessmessaging.com/SPS-5_Software.html |
