Page 15: Section 3: Technical Information
ConneXions II V7 MAC US Multi Port, Mains, USA Version Section 3: Technical Information This section provides a more in depth understanding of how messages are formatted for serial communication from a host. It need only be studied by those intending to write their own serial communication software. - Page 16 ConneXions II V7 MAC US Multi Port, Mains, USA Version Numeric Pagers Example serial message string:- N0012300A1234567890<CR> The ‘N’ informs the transcoder that this message is destined for a Numeric pager. Any data not preceded by this will be ignored.
- Page 17 Appendix A Industry Communications Protocols This section deals with the serial data formats commonly used within the On-site Paging Industry. Scope has its own proprietary protocol, but can for certain systems provide a number of other industry- recognized protocols. Warning! Check the protocols available for any given unit before quoting for a specific application.
- Page 18 Comp 2 can also provide message prioritization on certain Scope systems equipped with message buffering. This utilizes the A,B,C,D beep type to set the level of priority. Certain Scope products will also accept this format without the beep type included in the message string. This will invoke a default beep type being inserted by the transcoder.
- Page 19 These 'retry' numbers and time limits are the other 'flexible' options in the TAP protocol. The Scope system allows the installer to specify these values for themselves to suit the application to which the protocol is applied.

Questions and answers
The client has a local call for aid system which is connected to the Scope Connextions 2 paging system. The client would like redundant off site central station monitoring. Can I take the inputs from the call for aid system and run them through my system and back out to their original location on the scope system ? Are they just dry contacts per apartment ? or is something else ? Enjoy your day Chris
