Users can have any combination of the three available paging methods. For each user,
specify whether or not that user can be reached via Overhead, Local Wi reless and/or
Wide Area paging. To specify which method(s) are applicable, select the re q u i red fields
on the User Records screen (Figure 3-11). A checkmark (✓) indicates that the option is
active for the associated user.
The Default Paging Method identifies the default paging option used to contact the
individual user. The default is modifiable by the administrator from the User Records
screen (Figure 3-11), or via telephone prompts by the user. A dot (.) indicates the
current default.
NOTE: It is important to ensure that the associated paging information
is configured for the default paging option selected. For example, if
Wide Area Paging is selected as the default, ensure that the Wide
Area information is completed.
If activated, the Play Overhead Announcements option (see Figure 3-11) enables users
to trigger one of the recorded announcements. The system defaults to disallow playing
of overhead announcements. To activate the option, the field must be checked.
The User May Disable Paging Option enables users to disable all paging options. To
allow users to disable all paging, the User May Disable Paging option box (see Figure
3-11) must be checked. The system defaults to prevent users from disabling paging.
You must enter the appropriate pager characteristics for each user.
For local wireless paging, enter pager type and Pager ID (CAP code or Local ID).
For wide area paging, enter pager service contact information.
