THE EXTENDED ID FIELD IS REPRESENTED IN THE FORMAT CCCCCCCERF:
CCCCCCC:
A 2 to 7 digit numeric value representing a pager cap code. Leading zeroes are optional except in
the case of cap codes 8 and 9, which should be represented with at least one leading zero, e.g. 08 or 09.
E:
The message encoding type, where “0” (zero), “n”, or “N” represent “numeric encoding”, and “1”, “a”, or
“A” represent “alphanumeric encoding”. The numeric values for E are provided to support numeric-only ID
fields in paging control software.
R:
The RF data rate, where “5” represents 512 bps, “1” represents 1200 bps, and “2” represents 2400 bps.
F:
The function code to be delivered, where
1 = A, 2 = B, 3 = C,
and
4 = D
. A function code of 0 causes the
default function code for a particular Message Encoding Type (“E”) to be substituted. The default value for F
is “4” when the E value is “alphanumeric encoding”, and “1” when the E value is “numeric encoding”.
THESE ARE VALID EXAMPLE ID FIELDS THAT CAUSE EXTENDED ID PROCESSING:
08A20
– Causes delivery of an alphanumeric message to cap code 0000008 at 2400 bps with the default
function code for alphanumeric pages (4/D).
08A24
– Same result as above
0008124
– Same result as above
0000008124
– Same result as above
11A53
– Causes delivery of an alphanumeric message with function code 3 to cap code 0000011 at 512 bps
0000011A53
– Same result as above
11N53
– Causes delivery of a numeric message with function code 3 to cap code 0000011 at 512 bps
038N52
– Causes delivery of a numeric message with function code 2 to cap code 0000038 at 512 bps
