The message or messages used with the page depends on the subscriber record setting and
several options to the
page command. For records with a non- zero display message the
default message is the subscriber ID as typed on the
page command line. For records with
non-zero voice time the default message will be the Zetron supplied “test_page” message,
which may be re-recorded by the system operator. However these default messages may
be changed using command options.
The
-d option can be used to set the display message to the string of characters following
the
-d, as “page 123-4567 -dTestPage”. The display message may be separated from
the “
-d” by a blank space, but the message itself can not have blanks within it. Thus
“
page 111 -dTestPage” and “page 111 -d TestPage” both are legal, while “page
111 -dTest Page
” is not.
However, you CAN include blanks in a message if you surround it with double quotes. For
example:
page 123 -d "A message with spaces"
Also, you can now page from a file - put the message into a file, put the file to the paging
terminal using the “put” command, then specify the file with the “
-d@” method; for
example:
put myfile
page 123 -d@myfile
While most messages will display as they are written into their files, there are two possible
exceptions to this. Some byte values may not display as expected due to the fact that TAP
outdial destinations generally expect 7-bit data. In addition, the value “NUL” (00h) is not
displayed.
The
-v option can be used to select the voice file to be played as the voice message for test
pages with voice. Any voice file, as shown by the
vls command, may be selected.
However if a voice file is deleted while the test page is still active warning messages will
be posted in the log for each repeat of the test page. Files that are expected to expire, such
as temporary files beginning with a “&” or mailbox voice files starting with “I”, “R”, or
“M”, are likely to be deleted.
The
-c switch, when used with a display pager, will append a “counter” to the end of the
display message. This is a number that starts at one and increments with each repeat until
the test page is killed or counts out.
Note You must have a space between the -d and the quoted message.
Note The switch “-v” only works if the system has the voice prompts
option.
Note The switch “-c” only works if the display message is entered from
the command line.
