Programming Group Access

As mentioned above, you select specific phone numbers for Terminal Group Access and

program these subscriber IDs in both the Subscriber Database and the Group Database.

Refer to the Managing the Subscriber Database with ZbaseW on page 55 for information

on keyboard actions, index window, editing actions, and details of the Subscriber Record

fields. These same methods of working with ZbaseW in the Subscriber database will work

in the Group database.

1. In the Subscriber Database, set up the individual members of the group. This is no

different than setting up an ordinary individual paging subscriber - except for the

Group Function Code. If applicable, optionally set the Group Function Code

differently than the normal Function Code. This lets the pager beep one way when

called individually, and another way when called as part of a group, so the

subscriber can tell these two things apart.

If the members of the group do not need to be called individually, you can set them

up with ID numbers outside of your normal range of numbers. For instance, if your

real phone numbers are 555-1000 to 555-1999, you can set up members in some

other range such as 999-1000. This way, they do not consume precious dial-able

phone numbers, and they cannot be called individually. Make note of the IDs

chosen to be in the group.

2. Set up the Group pilot record. This is the record that will be called to accept the

page and set off the members of the group. To make a Group pilot record from

scratch:

a. Get into ZbaseW Edit tab and click the Subscribers button.

b. Click the New button in the lower pane for a new record.

c. Enter the number to dial to reach this group in the ID field.

d. Select a status of G. A subwindow will open. In it:

• If you are using Paging Mode, fill in the Voice Seconds Maximum and

Send Empty Message fields.

• If you are using it Insurance Mode, fill in the Insurance Mode Number of

Messages and Retention Hours fields.

e. Fill in the Priority, Security Code, and Personal Passcode fields as you would

for any pager. The Priority will override any individual member’s priority

settings.

Note The “Send Empty Message” field for the Group subscriber ID

record, (Status = G) can be used to prevent false tone-only calls

during group calling.
