9. FIVE/SIX-TONE PAGE
A. 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, the control character
9940 must exist before each 5/6-tone page code.
B. Format
Enter the Control Character, 9940. Then enter the Preamble Digit (0 - 9), followed by the
five digits (0 - 9), followed by a 1 if you wish to send the X ("dual-address") tone or a 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, then
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
expects messages to have even numbers of characters.
For example, the format of the 5/6-tone page "1-13657X" is 9940 1136571. If no "X" tone is
desired, the format is 9940 1136570. To send a second page 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 9940 1136571 0 9940 1136571. Note that we added a
bogus zero digit to force the second page to begin on an even digit count.
The Message Handler always required a preamble digit. It will automatically substitute the
"R" tone for a repeated digit.
C. 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 pages.
A 1-second post-page delay is created by the Message Handler for all 5/6-tone pages.
