A number of function keys are available which enable the user to send canned messages to

local ID of 0 - 9999.
Each entry holds the Local ID number of the pager, the format of the paging message
(Coaster Pager /Alpha/Numeric/Tone only) and the cap code of the pager.
Alarm Monitoring
MAXPage has an optional 4 alarm inputs on board. These alarm inputs can be triggered by
opening or closing a circuit. (such as by opening or closing a door)

cleared within an acceptable amount of time.
