Configure a Display Pager

This procedure summarizes the steps necessary to configure the server for display pagers.

Before You Begin

• Ensure that appropriate server hardware and software have been installed

• Ensure that you have completed the Outdial Line Group Worksheet

• Ensure that you have defined a line group for the Pager application

To configure a Display Pager:

1. Follow the instructions to define a pager system to set up the paging system. A typical access code in a PBX environment for display paging is T9 where:

   • T = Wait for dial tone

   • 9 = Request an outside line

2. Customize an FCOS to include these feature bits:

   Bit	Description
   40	receive messages from other users
   41	receive messages from outside callers
   70	User Options Menu
   77	change pager schedule
   79 (or 80)	set Message waiting #1(or #2) for urgent messages only
   88	receive urgent messages
   124	change paging phone number
   168 (or 169)	Message waiting # 1 (or #2), pager requeue
   181	paging over msg del, mwi 1 over mwi 2
   182 (or 183)	use pri/alt as week/weekend for MWI #1 (or MWI #2)

3. If required, customize an LCOS using the information supplied in COS for Pager Mailboxes.

4. Configure a mailbox for paging:

   • A typical pager number for display paging contains the account number or the DID number of the user’s pager, followed by a one- or two-second pause (++).

   • A typical post-pager number for display paging contains only the display digits to be shown on the pager.

   • Choose no message delivery.

5. If required, set billing rates for paging using the instructions under Set Billing Rates for Pager Calls.

6. Test the configuration and pager operation using the procedures in the Testing the Pager Application section.
