14.5.3 Configuring the Modem to Call a Numeric Pager
To configure the modem to call a numeric pager system, perform the following
procedure.
NOTE: The brackets ([ ]) in the following steps indicate characters that require
keying in prior to pressing [ENTER].
1. Connect the modem to the PC through the serial port as described in the modem
manufacturer’s manual .
2. Key in [A], [T], then press [ENTER].
3. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).
NOTE: In steps 4 and 5 the “xxxxxxx” is the pager system number and “yyyyyyy” is the
numeric message (usually a phone number). The three“[,]” provide a delay while
the pager system computer answers. The “xxxxxxx” entry should include all local
line and long distance access numbers needed to dial out, as well as the pause
necessary between dialing the pager service and sending the pager the numeric
message. This number is limited to 32 characters. For example, use “9” if needed
for an outside line, “1” for long distance + (Area Code) + Number or whatever
access codes are needed to dial the call directly. Add a “,” in the number
anywhere that a delay is needed. This causes a one-second delay. More than one
delay may be added to the number; for example, enter “AT&Z0=T,9,,1 (Area Code)
(Phone Number) (Pauses) (Numeric Message)”. For areas with pulse dialing, the
“T” should be inserted before the numeric message to switch to tone dialing. The
numeric message can only be delivered using tone dialing. Keying in the “#”
(pound) character at the end of the numeric message is very important. It
prevents the pager service from picking up on the modem hang-up
commands and sending additional characters.
4. To program a group one number, key in [A], [T], [&], [Z], [0] (zero), [=], [T], [,],
[xxxxxxx], [,], [,], [,], [yyyyyyy], [#], then press [ENTER].
5. To program a group two number, key in [A], [T], [&], [Z], [1], [=], [T], [,], [xxxxxxx],
[,], [,], [,], [yyyyyyy], [#], then press [ENTER].
6. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).
7. Key in [A], [T], [&], [W], [0] (zero), then press [ENTER].
6. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).
7. Key in [A], [T], [&], [W], [0] (zero), then press [ENTER].
8. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).
9. Connect a telephone line to the modem and test the modem by keying in [A], [T],
[D], [S], [0] (zero), then pressing [ENTER].
10. The modem dials the telephone number stored in step 4 or step 5. (The number is
displayed on the terminal screen as it is dialed.) Confirm that the pager receives
the message. Repeat steps 4 (or 5) through 9 as required to modify the telephone
number and message.
NOTE: To set up a group one or group two number to call a computer, refer to
“Configuring the Modem to Call a Remote Computer” section of this chapter.
