Page 3: Intro To The V9 Paging Systems
INTRO TO THE V9 PAGING SYSTEMS The SPS5 v9 series of paging systems transmit POCSAG messages and/or tones to Paging Data Receivers (PDRs). These messages can come in various paging protocols, or in various methods of delivery such as automatic transmission, manual typing of messages, and it can also receive messages from other devices as long as the paging data protocol is compatible with an SPS-5v9 system. -

• UHF & VHF BANDS WaveWare has FCC Shared-Use Licenses for different frequencies in the UHF band (450-470 MHz). For VHF or any UHF frequencies we do not own, we can handle your site’s application to the FCC for a fee. This only applies to U.S. installations. - Page 5 Alphanumeric (Text), Numeric and Tone/Vibe Only Paging Message Formats o Multiple Tone and Vibration Patterns o Batch Message Delivery up to 32 messages, with 240 Characters per Message (500 Characters in WaveWare Paging Protocol) • MULTIPLE PAGING PROTOCOLS customizable for each connection.

If the serial input buffer becomes filled with greater than 600 characters, the paging system will output a hardware or a software flow control response, depending how it is configured. Once the serial input buffer drops below 450 characters, the paging system will use flow control signals to indicate that it is no longer busy and that additional data can be delivered to the serial port. -
