  • Page 8: Pager Types

    UHF Desktop Transmitter product documentation (P/N 325005) for complete details on these JTECH paging products. JTECH pagers conform to a number of industry standards. Seven (7) variables are typical of most pagers. These variables are: 1. Language Recognized: POCSAG 2.
  • Page 9: Programming Terminology For The Smartalert Rs232

    Over the years a number radio frequency data patterns (Languages) have evolved to “speak” to pagers. POCSAG is the most widely used language today and a language that JTECH products support. POCSAG is simply an algorithm that is used to encode alphanumeric and numeric data for transmission via modulated radio waves.

  • Page 11 0000016. Numeric Pager Numeric pagers sold by JTECH are capable of displaying 1 to 16-digits. A numeric pager will not display an alpha message. When this class of pager is targeted to receive a page it must receive a numeric only radio transmission. If a numeric only pager receives an alphanumeric transmission sent to its cap code it will attempt to decode the message and will then display ‘garbage’...
  • Page 12 Programming your Application to Communicate with the SmartAlert RS232 In order to communicate with the SmartAlert via an RS-232 interface, an RS-232 baud rate, message protocol, and message format must be defined and adhered to by any software application wishing to successfully send pages. Physical Interfaces Data Connection Five lines are connected on the Female DB9 on the transmitter.
  • Page 13: Rs232 Interface Hardware Handshaking-Request To Send / Clear To Send

    Communication Protocol The SmartAlert Transmitter requires, in addition to the correct physical interconnection, that the proper RS232 protocol be followed. That protocol is: • 1200 baud • 8 data bits • No parity • 1 stop bit In addition, the proper message format must be followed. The message format descriptions follow.
  • Page 14: Message Format

    Message Format The recommended format is the 7-digit extended format. The 7-digit extended format consists of six parts: 1. Preamble 2. Function Bit (not used in the 3-digit message format) 3. Cap Code 4. Separator 5. Pager Message 6. Terminator A code sample is shown below.
  • Page 15: Details Of The Message Parts

    ‘cap code’ number provided by 8 prior to transmission to the pager. For example, the JTECH pager may have two labels. One will be the ‘pager ID’ number the other will be the cap code number. The pager ID number will be the cap code divided by 8.
  • Page 16 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.
  • Page 17: Hardware Installation

    Hardware Installation The SmartAlert Transmitter is wired directly to a communications port on your host device. This may be a Personal Computer or other electronic device and to any analog phone jack on your telephone system. The first consideration in installation is regarding the placement of the SmartAlert Transmitter.

    • The telephone system then detects current flowing from its source of battery, through the SmartAlert transmitter with telephone's loop closure, and back to the telephone system. The current flow energizes relays in the telephone system, which connect bi-directional audio lines through Tip and Ring to the SmartAlert transmitter with telephone.
