Using Your PPS
Field Name Description
Retain Errored Numeric
Msg
If Yes is selected, the pager retains numeric messages that contain errors. If
No is selected, the pager discards errored messages.
Retain Errored Non-Num
Msg
If Yes is selected, the pager retains non-numeric (alphanumeric and
ideographic) messages that contain errors. If
No is selected, the pager
discards errored messages.
Retain Better Maildrop
Msg
If Yes is selected, the pager allows a new maildrop message to replace an
existing message. This occurs only when the new message contains no errors,
or has the same amount of more good characters than the one being replaced.
Personal Message
Notebook
This option is available if the pager has been configured to receive personal
messages. If the option is available and
Yes has been selected, you can add
personal messages to the personal notebook.
Maildrop Message
Notebook
This option is available if the pager has been configured to receive maildrop
messages. If
Yes is selected, you can add maildrop messages to the maildrop
notebook.
Duplicate Message
Detection
If Yes is selected, duplication detection is performed on all personal messages
with the same message type as the new message, on a character by character
basis. Errored characters are ignored during the check.
If all non-errored characters in both messages match, the existing matching
message is flagged as a duplicate. The message with the least number of
errors is stored and the other messages are discarded. Duplication is not
performed on maildrop messages.
Source Indep’nt
Duplication
When Yes is selected, duplication is performed on all messages with the same
function type as the new message. If
No is selected, duplication is performed
only on messages with the same source and function type.
Sequential Lockout
Period
When Yes is selected, a sequential lockout timer begins when a message
arrives and is flagged as being sequentially locked out. If duplicate messages
arrive, one of the messages is disregarded and not flagged as a duplicate.
Truncated Message
Indicator
When Yes is selected, an errored truncated message or a normal truncated
message is displayed. A “truncated message” indicator displays over the last
character in the message.
Errored Data
Indication
When Yes is selected, the error character alternately displays with the “best
guess” of the errored data. If
No is selected, the “best guess” of the errored
data is displayed without any indication that it contains errors.
Message Continue
Indicator
If this option is selected, the last character on a screen alternately flashes every
0.5 seconds with a “down” arrow if the message contains more data. If the last
character on the screen is errored and Errored Data Indication =
Yes, the
Errored Data Indicator does not appear on that character. The Message
Continued Indicator overrides the Errored Data Indicator.
Delete Slot Number
If Yes is selected, the pager displays the message slot number of personal
messages.
Stop Decode on Miss
Sync
If Yes is selected, pager address falsing on noise is reduced by disabling the
detection of any new page from the time an invalid sync word is detected until
the next valid sync has been detected.
