(1) The header information contains the name of the menu that is presently displayed ("SYSTEM
SETUP").
(2) STATIONS is the number of devices connected via the RS485 network. It is defined as the
Alphanumeric Paging Interface (API-64) plus the number of Expansion Modules (API-64EM) in the
overall system. If the system is composed of one API-64 then this field should read "01". If the system is
composed of the Alphanumeric Paging Interface (API-64)and five Expansion Modules then this field
should read "06". Use the <PAGE UP>/<PAGE DOWN> keys to toggle to the correct number of stations.
(3) RS232 BAUD is programmable from 300 to 4800. It should be set to be compatible with the paging
system that is being utilized when direct connecting (via the RS-232). The baud rate should be set to 1200
if the (API-64RM) remote dialing module is utilized. Use the <PAGE UP>/<PAGE DOWN> keys to
toggle to the correct baud rate for the system.
(4) RS-232 BIT field allows you to set the system to 7 bits and even parity or 8 bits and no parity. It should
be set to be compatible with the paging system that is being utilized when direct connecting (via the RS-
232). The RS-232 BIT field should be set to 8/NONE if the (API-64RM) remote dialing module is utilized.
Use the <PAGE UP>/<PAGE DOWN> keys to toggle between 7/EVEN and 8/NONE.
(5) PAGE FORMAT refers to the paging protocol format that is being employed. If API-64 is direct
connected to a privately owned paging system then the transmission format may be set to either "TAP" or
"COMP2". When API-64 is connected to API-64RM (Remote Module) set the Page Format to "WIDE".
Use the <PAGE UP>/<PAGE DOWN> keys to toggle to the correct format ( TAP, COMP2 or WIDE)
(6) INPUT PULSE sets the system to accept a pulsing signal as a change in status and to allow the user to
set a "PULSE" message for each of the inputs that are in use. There are two options YES or NO. Use the
<PAGE UP>/<PAGE DOWN> keys to toggle between YES or NO.
NOTES:
If the INPUT PULSE field is set to NO then a message will be initiated as soon as an "ACTIVE" or a
"RESET" condition occur. If this field is set to YES then "ACTIVE" and "RESET" messages will only be
sent if the condition remains constant for five seconds or more. A momentary change in condition is
interpreted as a "PULSE" signal and the associated text message for "PULSE" for the given input will be
sent.

(7) INPUT STATUS sets the "normal" state for all of the inputs that are in use on the system (the master
API-64 and all API-64EM expansion modules). There are two options N/O (normally opened) or N/C
(normally closed). Use the <PAGE UP>/<PAGE DOWN> keys to toggle between N/O or N/C.
NOTES:
If the system is programmed for N/O (normally open) inputs then a change in condition on any given input
from open to closed will initiate the "ACTIVE" message for that input. A change in condition from closed
to open will initiate the "RESET" or return to normal message. If the INPUT PULSE field has been set to
YES, a change in condition from open to pulse will initiate the "PULSE" message.
If the system is programmed for N/C (normally closed) inputs then a change in condition on any given
input from closed to open will initiate the "ACTIVE" message for that input. A change in condition from
