Transfer Group Changes

Once you have selected a field to edit simply type in your new information. Your first

keystroke will erase any data already there and give you a fresh field for typing.

If you want to Delete a Group member, select the entire cell in the group member table

and press the Back Space key once; you will see an empty member appear. If you want to

change only a portion of the field, such as just a character or two, you can edit the field

placing the cursor where you wish to edit and typing over the existng entry.

Whenever you move from one field to the next, any changes you have typed in are

automatically made to the field. If ZbaseW has trouble understanding what you have

typed, it will say “do not understand entry” and not move to another field until you have

fixed the problem. When the entire Group record is complete and you do some other

operation such as moving around in the file with Next and Previous buttons, ZbaseW

automatically saves the record for you.

Transfer Group Changes

After you use ZbaseW to Edit the Group database on the office computer, you need to

send the new group file (

group.bin) to the paging terminal. The file is generally small,

so we have simply provided the full update facility. To do this, click the Update Paging

Terminal button on the Comm tab. This will:

1) build the

group.bin file from the grps2000.dat file

2) communicate the updated

group.bin file to the paging terminal

3) transfer any new/modified subscriber records to the paging terminal

The paging terminal continues normal operation without interruption even while you are

sending it a new group database.

During step 2), ZbaseW transfers the group database to the paging terminal. If there is

some problem with the communications link, consult the technician who installed and set

up the office computer. At that time, he/she should have provided phone numbers to

ZbaseW using the Edit tab Locations button.

Note After you Edit the Subscriber or Group Database, be sure to

transfer these changes to the paging terminal using the Update

Paging Terminal button on the Comm tab.
