2. PART TWO - STANDARD FEATURES
2.1 PAGER CAPACITY
2.1.1 What is the maximum number of pagers/phone numbers you expect to support?
2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 6,000 7,000 8,000 9,000 10,000
11,000 12,000 13,000 14,000 15,000 16,000 17,000 18,000
19,000 20,000 25,000 30,000 35,000 40,000 45,000 50,000
The base terminal comes with 2000 subscribers. Subscribers are available in blocks of 1,000 (-X01) or
5,000 (-X50). The legal values are as follows: 2K, 3K, 4K, ..., 19K, 20K, 25K, 30K, 35K, ..., 50K. To go
above 20,000 subscribers you must first buy to an even 5K increment with the -X01 option.
If you plan to use an external system such as the Zetron ZAPP software to enter alphanumeric pages and
send them to the terminal via TNPP then additional users do not have to be purchased for the terminal
because the subscriber database is maintained by the ZAPP software. In other words, if you will be
sending pages to the terminal using capcodes then the terminal’s database does not have to be
programmed with user ID’s.
2.1.2 What will be the ratio of voice pagers to numeric/alphanumeric display pagers?
100% Voice / 0% Display 75% Voice / 25% Display 50% Voice / 50% Display
25% Voice / 75% Display 0% Voice / 100% Display
2.1.3 What pager formats do you want to support?
2 Tone 5/6 Tone HSC NEC D3 Multitone Golay
POCSAG 512 POCSAG 1200 POCSAG 2400
FLEX 1600 FLEX 3200 FLEX 6400

2.2 ALPHANUMERIC PAGING
Alphanumeric messages allow subscribers to view complete text messages on their display pager, not
just a phone number input by the caller. Alphanumeric paging is the mechanism that supports nurse call
systems, alarm monitoring systems, and CAD systems. Generally these alphanumeric messages are
sent to the paging terminal via a serial link connected on the other end to a device which can be used to
type in the message. Sometimes these are dedicated devices for alphanumeric entry, and sometimes
they are computers such as PCs running specialized software which generates the messages and sends
them to the terminal. The 2000 Series paging terminal can accept these alphanumeric messages either
(1) by modem over a telco line or (2) by direct serial connection (or both). If the alphanumeric entry device
is located more than 150 feet from the paging terminal, it is recommended that the modem method be
used as RS-232 serial data is unreliable over cables longer than 150 feet.
2.2.1 Do you want to transmit voice and numeric display pages from an operator controlled,
desktop device that has a display?
yes no
You many want to learn more about the Zetron Model 103 Paging Entry Station (901-9152) which has an
LED display, a numeric keypad, and a gooseneck microphone so that an operator can send pages
without having to dial from a telephone. If desired, order one 2 wire analog telco card (950-9822) for
every two Model 103’s to be used.
