4. Separator
A separator is used to separate the Cap Code from the actual message to be
displayed. The separator in the 7-digit extended format provides three additional
pieces of information to the SmartAlert transmitter. That information is what type
of pager that is to be spoken to (alpha or numeric only), what baud rate is to be
used (512, 1200, or 2400), and inverted or non-inverted data.
The default Radio Frequency Baud Rate is 512 RF baud. However, many pagers
available today require 512 RF Baud, 1200 RF Baud or 2400 RF Baud. The 7
digit extended format allows access to these 1200 RF baud and 2400 RF baud
pagers. The capability of sending priority messages to both alpha and numeric
only pagers is also available in the 7-digit extended format. The table below
depicts the acceptable combinations for various RF baud rates, alphanumeric
paging and numeric only paging, inverted and non-inverted data, as well as the
implementation for priority and non-priority messaging using the 7-digit extended
message format.

5. Message
This section of the format represents the information to be displayed on the
pager. Up to 120 characters may be sent for alphanumeric pagers. The
maximum number of message digits for numeric pagers is 20.
6. Terminator
The terminator is used to indicate the end of the message. The terminator
character is the carriage return character Chr$(13) or hex 0D.
