[Com Port:] Determine which COM port your modem is attached to
(1-4) and click on the appropriate COM port radio button.
( Default: Com1 )
[Baud Rate:] Select a Baud rate (300, 1200, 2400, or 9600) and
click on the appropriate radio button. The baud rate has no
effect on PageMate since it is not communicating with another
modem, however a baud rate is necessary to configure a serial
port. You can use the highest or lowest baud rate your modem
supports. The baud rate must be 1200 or higher for dialtone
detection to work. ( Default: 1200)
[Line Service:] Select whether you have Tone or Pulse line
service and click on the appropriate radio button.
( Default: Tone )
[Busy Redial:] Select whether you want PageMate to redial when it
detects a busy signal. Note: Some older paging systems transmit a
busy signal at the end of the call to indicate that the
transmission was received. PageMate will sense that busy signal
and attempt to redial if this option is "Yes". ( Default: Yes )
[Transmit:] PageMate can transmit one of the following to your
pager: 1) The Number specified in the Transmit Number field. 2)
The Time the last call was received (hour:minutes). 3) A call
Counter. Click on the down arrow button to select one of the
three options. ( Default: Number )
Note: Tone line service is necessary to transmit numbers to the
paging service.
[Modem Initialization String:] Enter a modem initialization
string. Most Hayes compatible modems use the default string.
Newer high speed modems may require appending additional codes
(like &F2 for "PC" mode). If PageMate does not work correctly
with your modem, consult your modem manual for details on it's
command set codes. ( Default: ATE1Q0V1X4&C1&D2 )
[Delay Secs:] Enter the number of seconds PageMate should delay
before calling the pager. If you are using an answering machine,
allow callers enough time to leave a message and for single-tape
machines to rewind. Usually 3-5 minutes (180-300 seconds) is
sufficient. ( Default: 180 )
[Pager Number:] Enter the pager number (or other number) PageMate
is to call and a comma for every 2 seconds PageMate should wait
for the pager number to answer (the default pause of a comma on
most modems is usually 2 seconds). Special characters, spaces,
dashes, and parentheses can be included for readability and are
usually ignored by modems. Six seconds is often enough time for
paging services to answer before sending the transmit number,
e.g.
*70,555-5555,,,
Translation: Dial *70 to disable call waiting, pause for 2
seconds to get another dial tone, then dial 555-5555 and wait for
6 seconds before sending the number to be displayed on pager.
[Transmit Number:] Enter the telephone number to be transmitted
to the pager. Suffix the number with a pound sign (#) or other
character required by your paging service to indicate
transmission completed, e.g.
999-9999#
Note: Tone line service is necessary to transmit numbers to the
paging service.
[Hangup Secs:] Enter the number of seconds to wait after dialing
the pager number before hanging up the line. Allow enough time
for the pager service's phone to ring, answer, and receive the
number to be transmitted. I find that 20 seconds is adequate for
my pager service, but yours may differ. 20-40 seconds is usually
adequate. ( Default: 20 )
