Protocol [ ]
Lookup ID? [N]
2. The first field for editing is Protocol. If you are connecting MAXPage to another piece of paging
equipment that uses the TAP, COMP1, COMP2, Tekk, Visiplex#1, or SCOPE protocols, you need to
configure it in this field. Press any key on the keypad to choose between TAP, COMP1, COMP2, Tekk,
Vplex, ESPA or SCOPE.
3. Press the key to move along to the next field.
4. This next field is Lookup ID. Press any key on the keypad to toggle between Y or N (Yes or No) here.
a. Setting to Y means that the TAP message contains a Pager ID. MAXPage looks up the Pager ID within
its internal database and send the message to the appropriate recipient.
b. Setting to N means that the TAP message contains a cap code. MAXPage sends the message to the cap
code specified.
5. Press the key to move along to the next screen when ready.
NOTE: When serial input from a COMP2 or TAP third party paging system is being utilized and the Lookup ID?
Field is set to N, a raw cap code is being supplied within the protocol data rather than a Pager ID. Therefore there is
no way MAXPage can determine how to encode the message. This default encoding method is set in the Encoding
field described in the Transmitter section.
6. The next screen that is displayed is dynamic, depending on which protocol is chosen in the Protocol field
above. This is described in more detail below.
