DTMF Page Messages
Control Character
The control character 9950 should be entered before the actual DTMF
character codes when building a DTMF Page Message. (Remember, if a
Message does not begin with a control character, the message handler will
assume the message should be sent in CW!)
Format
The format for DTMF page message is as follows:
• Enter the control character 9950.
• Then enter the various DTMF character codes described in the DTMF
Character Set Tables beginning on page A-8 to create the desired
message/page.
• You may end the DTMF message with the (*) character, or enter another
control character (99xx) and continue with another page type.
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 DTMF pages. If desired, a DTMF page can consist of several
DTMF digits, a pause, more DTMF digits, and so on. This feature allows you to
place a series of DTMF pages within one message.
Defaults
Until changed by the codes which follow, the DTMF tone duration is 100mS
and the gap between DTMF characters is 100mS.
