# Define a Pager System

This procedure describes how to assign an identification (index) number to each supported pager system, how to name each supported pager system, and how to specify an access code and hold time for each supported pager system.

## Before You Begin

Ensure that you are familiar with access code (dial string) configuration and that you have completed the Outdial Line Group Worksheet.

To define a pager system:

1. From the Main Menu, select (S) System Maintenance, (R) Reconfiguration, (R) Reconfigure System.

2. Do one of the following:

   - Select (F) Modify Inactive Configuration if you just made a change through the Offline Menu without activating it

   - Otherwise, select (E) Modify Active Configuration.

3. Select (G) Group Selected and then enter the number of the line group (1-24) to which the Pager application is assigned, or press Enter if the current number is the Pager application line group.

4. Select (M) Modify Application, and then (P) Pager System Support.

5. Using your Outdial Line Group Worksheet as reference, enter the information requested as shown in the following steps.

6. Select (P) Pager Systems Supported and then enter the pager system index numbers (0-15), separated by commas, of the pager systems that will be supported by this pager. (For example, to add two pager systems (one for internal and one for external), enter 0,1.)

7. In the Pagers menu, select (D) Define Pagers.

8. Select (P) Current Pager System and then enter the index number of the first supported pager system. (For example, 0.)

9. Select (N) Pager Name and then enter a name for this pager system. (For example, "Internal". Up to 30 characters are allowed.)

10. Select (D) Access Code and enter the code (1-24 characters) that is common to mailbox owners using this pager system. This code indicates what the server should dial before the unique number. It comprises the first part of the dial string.
    OR
    Press Enter if the current access code is correct.
    OR
    Enter a period (.) to delete an existing access code.

11. Select (H) Hold Time and enter the number of s econds (0-90) the server holds a call before hanging up after a successful send attempt. We recommend 2-5 seconds.

12. Save the parameter settings by exiting to the NuPoint Voice Configuration Main Menu.

If you chose to modify the Inactive Configuration in step 2, you need to Activate the Inactive Configuration before your changes appear.
