RFC-1 Advanced Operation page 6.42
In this mode, the RFC-1 calls the paging terminal via modem. After the modems establish a connection, the RFC-1
sends a specially coded message to the paging terminal. The message includes the pager ID number to identify the
message recipient and the message to be delivered to the pager.
As in voice mode paging, data mode paging requires two telephone numbers. The first number is the paging terminal
number—the telephone number to the modem bank of the service provider. It can be programmed at telephone
number A, B, C or D. The second number is the pager ID—this is typically the telephone number of pager. The pager
ID must be programmed at telephone number location E.
There are special rules for programming the pager ID number. The first digit of the pager ID number must be 10.
This stops the standard calling routines from dialing the site ID number. The remaining digits of telephone number E
are used to store the pager ID number. Unused digits should be filled with the value 10.
Some paging systems require a 10-digit pager ID and others require only 7 digits. This is determined by the pager
service provider. Program the pager ID number according to the requirements of the service provider. As with all
other telephone numbers, fill unused digits in the pager ID with the value 10.
In the example below, the telephone number for the paging data terminal is 555-1212 and the telephone number of
the pager that will receive the message is 615-228-3500.

When an alarm call is made to a pager in this mode, the pager receives a message that contains the RFC-1 site ID
phrase followed by the phrase “Telemetry Alarm” then the channel number that caused the alarm and the value of the
channel at the time of the alarm. No time/date information is sent since most pagers place a time/date stamp on the
message when it is received.
