    244 characters in length. The actual maximum length of transmitted messages in the WaveWare TAP interface is 245 minus the ID field length. With an ID value of 5, you can transmit up to 245 characters per message.
  • Page 11 The System Identification command allows installation programs and other software applications to poll serial ports for the existence of a WaveWare paging encoder using the standard ATI command. This can be used for a supervised process (also called keep-alive) where the host system periodically polls the paging system for a response.
  • Page 12 - Embedded Control Characters for details on how to embed control characters in paging messages. The WaveWare TAP interface supports ID field lengths from 1 to 10 digits. The ID field can be formatted using two different methods, as follows: Method 1 - ID field lengths from 1 to 4 digits will cause a pager database lookup.
  • Page 13 If your WaveWare Paging System is configured to operate using TAP Non-Verbose mode, the paging system will respond only with an initial response code of: 211<CR> Following the first part of the TAP message block response, if the input buffer of the paging system has capacity for another TAP message block, the paging system will send the following message.

  • Page 14: Appendix B - Dip Switch Settings

    Your WaveWare Paging System typically communicates with a PC or other host system via RS-232 at 9600 Baud, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. You can configure the paging system for other serial communication parameters.

  • Page 15: Appendix C - Tap Checksum Calculation

    Appendix C – TAP Checksum Calculation Following is sample Visual Basic™ code that creates a string to be sent to the paging system. A subset of the string has a checksum calculation performed on it, and then the checksum and a control character are appended to form the string to be sent to the paging system.

  • Page 16: Appendix D - Tap Response Codes

    Appendix D – TAP Response Codes Following is a table of response codes supported by the WaveWare Paging System. Please note that a <NAK> response typically means the message should be resent by the host, and an <RS> response typically means the message should be abandoned by the host.

  • Page 17: Appendix E - Extended Id Processing

    Appendix E – Extended ID Processing The WaveWare TAP interface and both COMP2 interfaces support ID field lengths from 1 to 10 digits. The ID field can be formatted as follows: Standard Method - ID field lengths from 1 to 4 digits will cause a pager database lookup. ID fields of this format must contain numeric digits only.

    M. Adding 40 HEX to Line Feed gives you J. The character combination of <SUB>M causes a Carriage Return control character to be embedded in the encoded paging message, while <SUB>J causes a Line Feed control character to be embedded. The <SUB> character needs to be passed to the WaveWare Paging System as a HEX character.
