Using the Telephone (PBX) interface
To use MAXPage’s Telephone interface follow the directions below.
1. Pick up the phone and dial the extension to which the MAXPage is connected. After a short pause, you hear
“Enter pager number.”
2. Type the Pager ID of the pager or group you wish to contact.
NOTE: If the Pager ID has fewer characters than the PBX Digits field above, the Pager ID has to be typed in with
leading zeroes. Alternatively, the # key is a termination key which enters the Pager ID.
Example: If PBX digits is set to 4 and you want to send a message to Pager ID ‘1’ you can type 0004 or 1 followed
by the # key.
3. After the Pager ID has been entered, you hear “Enter Message.” Using the numeric keypad on the phone,
type the message you wish to send.
4. If you want to insert a canned message during a telephone call, simply press the * key followed by the
number assigned to the canned msg, followed by the # key to end the message. The message is sent.
NOTE: You can combine canned messages with other numbers. For example you could have canned message #1 set
to “call extension”. When prompted to “Enter Message” you would type *134#. This would send the message “call
extension34”. Canned msg’s are explained in more detail below in the Canned Msgs section.
