6.1
Alphanumeric transmissions
Messages can contain any alphanumeric character.  The 12-62 will accept the
standard ASCII 7 bit character set.
6.2
Numeric transmissions
Messages can contain numeric characters and some symbols. 
These can convey a telephone number, or other numerically coded information.
The transmitted message is shorter, and therefore there is a smaller chance of
errors received by the pager.
The numeric character set is as follows:    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 [  ]  - U <space>  
6.3
Tone Only transmissions
Any numeric or alphanumeric paging message without an actual text message
is also considered ‘Tone Only’.  A function level will control the number of
beeps on the receiver (four different function levels can be sent).

INITIATING TRANSMISSION
There are four ways of initiating a paging message transmission:
(1)
Using the external discrete inputs (action)
(2)
Supply detector threshold (action)
(3)
Watchdog (action)
(4)
RS232 Serial commands
An action is defined as a paging message, RIC (Receiver Identification Code or
capcode) and flags.  Flags are discussed in the PSD (product support disk) section.
7.1
External Discrete Inputs
An action can be initiated from the 4 external inputs with an input transition to
LOW (connection to GND) and/or HIGH (input floating or connection to >+3.5v).
7.2
Low supply message
After a debounce period, the low-supply detector can initiate an action for both
“supply going high” and “supply going low”conditions.
7.3
Watchdog
The watchdog feature will initiate an action after a predetermined period.  The
watchdog also optionally allows the transmission of the current state of
selected inputs (including supply level). 
 
7.4
Using the RS232 Serial Commands
Serial commands can be “manually” issued to an 12-62 using a terminal
program such as PROCOMM or Hyper-terminal.

Tone only, numeric and alphanumeric pagers can  be called using serial
commands. These commands will be processed in parallel with other inputs
actions for transmission.  Some basic commands are described in section
7.4.1.   Information on the full protocol command set is available on request.
