General Operation Installation & Configuration Guide for MAXPage
1. To add or edit a pager, press to select Add/Edit Pager when in the Pagers Menu. Locate a pager that
you wish to use and determine its cap code. A cap code is essentially a 7-digit “phone number” for a pager,
except that more than one pager can have the same number.
NOTE: Pagers supplied by Spok include an information sheet that identifies the cap code. Some pagers display their
cap code through a special menu on the pager. Contact your place of purchase for assistance if you are unable to
determine your pagers cap code.
The following screen displays:
ID[ ] [ ]
Capcode[ ]
2. Enter a Pager ID using the keypad in the ID field. Press the key to move along to the next field if
required. If the Pager ID already exists in the database, the details for that ID are displayed in the fields. If
the Pager ID is not in the database, all fields are empty and are ready for data entry.
NOTE: A Pager ID is a reference number that identifies pager(s) in the database. It contains the cap code and pager
type information.
ID[1 ] [ ]
Capcode[ ]
3. The next field requires a paging format to be entered. Press any key on the keypad to choose between
Alpha, Number, Coast, TwoTn, GrpTn, and Tone. This is set depending on the type of pager that
receives the message. Once you have found the required option, press the key to move along to the next
field.
NOTE: Alpha = an alphanumeric POCSAG pager, Number = a numeric POCSAG pager, Coast = a POCSAG
coaster pager, TwoTn = individual call to a two-tone voice pager, GrpTn = a group call to a two-tone voice pager.
ID[1 ] [Alpha]
Capcode[ ]
4. In the Capcode field, type in the seven digit cap code for the pager in this field. The key can be pressed
to clear this field one character at a time.
NOTE: If adding a voice pager, the Capcode field is where you enter the three digit code associated with it. The first
digit refers to the Reed Group, the second refers to the first (A) tone frequency and the third digit refers to the second
(B) tone frequency. Consult the appendix for more information.
NOTE: If you entered a seven-digit cap code, MAXPage automatically enters and saves the pager entry. If the cap
code you typed in was less than seven digits, MAXPage fills in the number with leading zeroes and requires the
key to be pressed to confirm the entry. If an invalid cap code has been entered, you need to change it before
you are allowed to proceed. The valid cap code range is 0000008 – 2097151.
ID[1 ] [Alpha]
Capcode[1234567]
5. The screen briefly displays the words “Pager Saved” once all fields have been correctly filled. You are then
returned to the Pager Menu screen where you can choose to add/edit or delete another pager.
