Experienced operators can short cut the process by entering the appropriate key sequence without waiting for the prompts.
The voice prompted telephone access system comprising a Paging Message Transmitter, and the 12-36 Telephone Voice Interface is called "FONEpage".
As when using a paging transmitter, there are several types of paging calls which can be made from telephone extensions:
Normal pager call:
Normal Pager Call,
Dial the extension number the 12-36 telephone interface unit is connected to. FONEpage will respond with:
"Welcome to FONEpage"
Predefined message:
Predefined messages (sometimes called "canned messages") can be programmed into the paging transmitter using configuration software. Pager codes and predefined messages cannot be changed via the telephone.
Message confirmation:
FONEpage confirms that the call has been sent once a call is placed into the transmission queue with the prompt "Page Sent" or "Message Sent" depending on the type of call made.
Sending another message: Once the "Message Sent" or "Page Sent" prompt has been issued, it is possible to immediately enter another pager code and message, or wait 5 seconds for the prompt to be guided through the process again.
Automatic call termination:
FONEpage will say goodbye and hang up if nothing has been entered within 10 seconds of a prompt being issued.
To use the USB port to communicate with the 12-36, a Virtual Com Port driver must be installed on the PC.
