PSD Input Configuration
All inputs may be configured in a similar fashion, including supply voltage
monitoring. The input drop down box provides support for the 4 inputs
available on S10.
The battery input is at the very bottom of the input list. Each input may have a
message defined for both a high and low state. Input parameters may be
configured as follows:
Pager type: Numeric or Alpha numeric. Tone only pagers are supported by
ensuring that the message field is left blank.
Beep Level: Page beep levels 1-4.
RIC Code: Pager ID. Valid Codes are:
0000008 to 2007663
2007672 to 2045055
2045064 to 2097143
0000000 may be used as a “drop” code. This may be used for the watchdog
when the watchdog is used, but a watchdog message is to be suppressed.
Message: User message, up to 40 characters in length.
Transmission Count: How many times that message will be sent if triggered.
Enabled: When selected, the configured message will be sent when triggered.
Resend with Watchdog: When the watchdog is enabled, the input message
will be sent periodically as configured if in the enabled state.
Initial Input State: Input messages are sent when transitioning to the enabled
state. If on start-up “Current” has been selected the current input state is read,
so that the input message will not be sent on start-up.
If “High” is selected, the input on startup is assumed to be in the high state, so
when found to be low (if this is the case) the transition will result in a message
being sent (if enabled). If “Low”, the opposite will occur, the input is assumed to
be low on startup, the transition to high resulting in message being transmitted
(if enabled, and the input is in the high state).

Baud Rate: Changing this setting will result in all configured input messages to
be sent at the selected baud rate (512 or 1200 Baud).
Note: baud rate changes are not applied to serially generated Salcom protocol
messages.
Protocol: Allows the serial protocol to be changed
Input Debounce: The time delay between the input being triggered and the
message being sent.
Enable 12-36 Support: Enabling 12-36 support will allow the Salcom 12-36-
0000 telephone interface to be configured. Configuration options will become
available through the options tab (refer to 10.7: PSD 12-36 Support).
Invert Tx data: Internally generated data is inverted when Internal modulation
is selected. The Invert Tx Data option is unavailable when external modulation
is selected.
Resend Delay: When an input has been configured with a transmission count
greater than 1, then the resend delay is the delay in seconds before sending
the message again.
Max On Air: When the 12-62 is transmitting, this setting controls how long the
transmitter may be continuously on air. When this period of has been
exceeded the transmitter ceases transmission and will remain off air for the
duration defined by the Min OFF Air setting. This setting has no effect when
external modulation has been selected.
