RFC-1 Advanced Operation page 6.41
In the example below, the telephone number for the pager is 555-1212 and the site ID that will be sent to the pager is
615-228-3500. The optional ❊ command is being used to add the channel number to the display and the # key is
being sent to terminate the page.

RFC-1 versions prior to 6.00 had limited paging capability. In legacy pager mode, the RFC-1 dials the pager and
sends a single digit repeatedly to the paging terminal. The result is a pager display filled with a single digit. The digit
that is sent is programmable and serves as a site ID number. The site ID number is programmable as part of the call
mode setting of the telephone number. See the table above with call mode settings for details.
Legacy pager mode is included for backward compatibility. If telephone number E is already in use then legacy
pager mode can be used as an alternative. Legacy paging mode cannot respond to paging system menus.
6.8.4.4 Calling Pagers in Data Mode
The RFC-1 can also send full text messages to a pager by calling a paging terminal in data mode. This type of call
provides the most information of the available paging options but it has a more involved setup. Text paging requires
a data modem accessory, model MA-2 Modem Adapter, and an access number to a data based paging terminal.
The RFC-1 sends text messages to a paging terminal using the TAP protocol in automatic message mode. This is a
standard protocol used by many service providers. Setting up the RFC-1 to send text messages requires a data
access number from the paging service provider and the baud rate and data protocol of the paging terminal. The
baud rate adjustment of the RFC-1 has special settings to accommodate paging terminals. The baud rate and data
format settings are discussed later in this section.
