Five/Six-Tone Page Messages
Control Character
The control character 9940 must be entered before the actual page code when
building a 5/6-Tone Page Message. If several 5/6-tone pages are to be sent,
control character 9940 must exist before each 5/6-tone page code.
Format
The format for five/six-tone page messages is as follows:
• Enter the control character, 9940.
• Enter the preamble digit (0–9), followed by the five digits (0–9), followed by
1 if you wish to send the X (dual address) tone, or 0 if you do not wish to
send the X tone.
• You may end the message with the (*) character.
• If you wish to enter another control character (99xx) and continue with
another message type, you must add another digit to the end of the 5/6-
tone page. This is required because the normal format results in an odd
number of characters (11), and the message handler requires even
numbers of characters in each message.
For example, the format of the 5/6-tone page 1-13657X is 99401136571. If no
X tone is desired, the format is 99401136570. If this page were to be sent twice
in the same message, a bogus digit would be added at the end of the first page
to restore evenness to the command. The format would be 99401136571 0
99401136571. (Once again, the space is shown for clarity.)
Note: The message handler always requires a preamble digit. It will
automatically substitute the R tone for a repeated digit.
Delays
A 1-second Pre-Page Delay is created by the message handler for the first
page in a group. If additional pages follow, the pre-page delay is eliminated in
succeeding page. A 1- second Post-Page Delay is created by the message
handler for all 5/6-tone pages.
