Configuring the Modem to Call a Numeric Pager
To configure the modem to call a numeric pager system, perform the following
procedure.
NOTE: Perform this procedure only after completing “Basi c Modem Configuration”
section of this chapter.
The brackets ([ ]) in the foll owing steps indicate characters th at require
keying in prior topressing [ENTER].
1. Connect the modem to the PC through the serial port as described in the modem
manufacturer’s manual .
2.Keyin[A],[T],thenpress[ENTER].
3. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).
NOTE: In steps 4 and 5 the“xxxxxxx” is the pager system number and “yyyyyyy” is the
numeric message (usuallya phone number). The three“[,]” provide a delay while
the pager systemcomputer answers. The “xxxxxxx” entry should include all local
line and long distance access numbers needed to dial out, as well as the pause
necessary between dialing the pager ser vice and sending the pager the numeric
message. This number i s limited to 32 characters. Placing a “T” at the beginning
of the number informs the modem to use tone dialing. For example, use “9” if
needed for an outside line, “1” for long dis tance +(Ar eaC ode) + Number or
whatever access codes are needed to dial the call di rectly. Add a “,” in the number
anywhere that a delay is needed. This causes a one-second delay. Mor ethan one
delay may be added to the number;for example, enter “AT&Z0=T,9,,1 (Area Code)
(Phone Number) (Pauses) (Numeri c Message)”. For areas with pulse di aling, the
“T” should be inserted before the numeric messag e to switch to tone dialing. The
numeric message canonly be delivered using tone dialing. Keying in the “#”
(pound) character at the end of the numeric m essage is very important. It
prevents the pager service from pi cking up on the modem hang-up
commands and sending additional character s.

[xxxxxxx], [,], [,], [,], [yyyyyyy], [#], then press [E NTER].
5. Toprogram a group two number, key in [A], [T], [&], [Z], [1], [=], [T], [,], [xxxxxxx],
[,], [,], [,], [yyyyyyy], [#], then pre ss [ENTER].
6. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).
7.Keyin[A],[T],[&],[W],[0](zero),thenpress[ENTER].
8. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).
9. Connect a telephone line to the modem and test the modem by keying in [A], [T],
[D], [S], [0] (zero), then pressing [ENTER].
10. The modem dials the telephone number stored in step 4 or step 5. (The number is
displayed on the terminal screen as it is dialed.) Confirm that the pager receives
the message. Repeat steps 4 (or 5) through 9 as required to modify the telephone
number and message.
NOTE: Toset up a g roup one or group two number to call a computer, refer to
“Configuring the Modem to Call a Remote Computer” section of this chapter.
