To help make the maintenance and modification of group lists easier, you can elect to sort
the group members by last name or extension. The sorted list determines the order in
which individuals are paged. For example, when group members are sorted alphabeti-
c a l l y, those individuals with a last name beginning with ‘A’ are paged first, those with ‘B’
a re paged second, and so on. To sort a group, follow the steps below.

1) Select the Group button from the PCI Main Dialog screen.
2) Using the Group # field (see Figure 3-13), identify the group number you

wish to sort. The group user list appears in the Current Group Members column.

3) Select Sort.

4) Specify the sort criteria.

Select Yes or No to sort by last name. If you select No, the system
prompts you to select Yes or No to sort by extension.

Select Yes or No to sort by extension. If you select No, the system sorts
by group order (i.e., in the order that each group member was added to the
g ro u p ).

5) The list is sorted using the criteria selected - last name, extension number, or

in the order the group member was added.

NOTE: Since a message is transmitted in 3 seconds, a group of 30 members

would be notified in 90 seconds (1 1/2 minutes).

Remote Access options (see Figure 3-14) enable you to ensure that the database and
APS Custom unit information match. After connecting to the unit, you can select to send
the database from the PC to the unit, receive the database from the unit to the PC, or
conduct a pager site survey. When performing any of the remote access options, the
unit can not perform normal paging functions. Be sure to disconnect from the unit after
completing the necessary activity.
