Windows Desktop Tools- NexPath Dialer
There is an edit box for entering your pager number. It is not necessary to enter a “9” to seize an outside line
(pagers are assumed to be outside numbers), but you must enter a “1” if is it required to dial the number. In
addition to the pager number, you can set the separator character and a pager delay for fine tuning the inter-
face to a paging service. The separator character is sent to visually separate the caller ID of the caller leav-
ing voice mail, from the voice mail box number, and the number of unread messages, to assist in readability.
It defaults to a ‘*’, and is displayed as a ‘-’ on many pocket pagers. You can change this to ‘none’, or ‘#’.
Note The Nexpath system in the current software release does not support pagers that have a voice menu and
require additional digits to be entered to select numeric paging, or require PIN numbers to be entered.
The pager delay is the number of seconds of delay before sending tone information after connecting to the
pager service. Some pager services are not prepared to accept the touch tones (DTMF tones) as soon as a
connection is made. It may be necessary to use this delay to make the paging work properly.
When you have entered your pager settings, click on Save to stored them on the NexPath Telephony Server.
Numeric paging is disabled when the pager number is saved as a blank entry, which will display as ‘none’.
Note Pager services are notoriously unreliable, due to both equipment variations on receiving paging
requests, and antenna coverage and blackouts when inside buildings, etc. You may find that
occasionally paging requests are sent by the NexPath Telephony Server, but not successfully delivered
to your pager. Some voice mail systems automatically send three requests, to be sure of delivery. The
NexPath system does not do this at present, but it is under consideration.
