QUIKPAGER Wireless Link QPWL-5000-5W has similar operational features as QUIKPAGER Wireless QPW-5000-5W except that there is no PageAlert programming. Instead, QUIKPAGER Wireless Link offers the following additional features:

QPWL-5000-5W has a Directory for 500 names

You can program a name like "911 Emergency" with pager ID 5005120. Inbound messages via the RS-232 from a Nurse Call system with pager ID number 911 and/or messages inbound voice prompts for pager ID 911 will be sent to 5005120. In addition, if you type on Main Screen number 911(space), QPWL will find 911 Emergency.

QPWL-5000-5W has optional "Alert Display" for inbound messages

With this feature, an operator will be alerted on the display of each page coming inbound the RS-232 port. Many Health Care applications need this optional feature. The operator must acknowledge each Alert. The operator knows who has been paged. For example, The Nurse Call System for room 122 sends a message for Dr. Brown. Before, the Nurse in charge would have never known that Dr. Brown was paged. Now, QPW will beep and display "Dr. Brown. Room 122".

QPWL-5000-5W offers priority paging

Messages from a Nurse Call System or messages inbound voice prompts, are accumulated in a dynamic queue that is constantly feeding messages to the POCSAG encoder. Normally, the encoder transmits messages on a first-in-first-out basis. If QUIKPAGER receives a message with the "priority" mark, then that message will jump queue and be transmitted ahead of all the messages accumulated in queue. This feature is excellent for emergency messages in mission critical environments like Hospitals.

MIRROR Link Paging

This feature is ideal for fast throughput of messages in high-density paging applications from site 1 to site 2, when site 2 is a Repeater station. Each message transmitted on site 1, is automatically sent out the RS-232 port. Use MIRROR Link when you want to Link two QPWL via radio modem or via the RS-232 port.

Example: You need to repeat message transmission in the basement of a Hospital. Use up to 1,000 ft. of RS-232 cable to interconnect (2) QPWL. QPWL 1 first transmits the message and then it sends it to QPWL 2 in a second. Then, QPWL 2 transmits the message. If the coverage overlaps, turn on carrier detect so that QPWL 2 holds transmission while QPWL 1 is transmitting and QPWL 1 holds transmission while QPWL 2 is transmitting.

Another application for MIRROR Link is when you want INSTANT delivery of messages from QPWL 1 to QPWL 2 in a long distance link and there are no telephone lines to do the link. We can provide radio link modems to establish a permanent connection via the RS-232 port of QPWL 1 and QPWL 2. The same operation applies.

REPEATER Link Paging

This Link feature is established using a dial-up telephone line with the "Permanent Connection" option on. This feature is ideal for fast throughput in high-density paging applications, from site 1 to site 2, when site 2 is a Repeater station. QPWL 1 transmits a message on site 1. Then QPWL 1 dials and connects with QPWL 2 via the telephone. QPWL 1 and QPWL 2 will remain permanently connected via the phone line. QPWL 2 receives messages from QPWL 1 and pages them as they are received. If the telephone connection is broken, QPWL1 will dial again the next time that it has to send a message to QPWL 2 and will stay again indefinitely connected. Message delivery from site 1 to site 2 is done in a matter of seconds. If the coverage overlaps, carrier detection will prevent interference.

DUAL LINK between two sites

This feature is ideal for Multicasting in two sites to obtain maximum message throughput in high density paging applications. Messages for the same people may be input at each site for transmission in both sites.

Program QPWL 1 and QPWL 2 for LINK, permanent connection. QPWL 1 and QPWL 2 have the same names in their respective Directory. Enter a message in QPWL1. QPWL 1 transmits the message and dials up QPWL 2. A permanent connection remains. Messages flow from QPWL 1 to QPWL 2. QPWL 2 pages locally and returns the message to QPWL 1 to close the loop. QPWL 1 check the message and finds that it is the originator of that message and discards transmission on site 1. A message entered and transmitted on site 2 is sent over the permanent connection to site 1. QPWL 1 receives the message and transmits it locally. QPWL 1 returns the message to QPWL 2 to close the loop and the message is discarded.

MULTIPLE SITES LINK

This feature is recommended for Multicasting at several sites to obtain maximum message throughput in low density paging applications.

Assume that you have QPWLs at sites 1, 2 and 3. Each is programmed to page the same people at all sites. QPWL 1 is programmed to dial and connect with QPWL 2, QPWL 2 with QPWL 3 and QPWL 3 with QPWL 1.

Enter a message on QPWL1. QPWL 1 pages locally and delivers the message to QPWL 2 via the phone line. QPWL 2 pages locally and delivers the message to QPWL 3 QPWL 3 pages locally and delivers the message to QPWL 1. QPWL 1 knows that it was the message originator and will not page. The loop is closed.

Messages entered on QPWL 1, 2 and 3 while the loop is going, will be added to those messages sent to the next QPWL.

This low-cost LINK solution is recommended when there is a low number of messages to be sent from site to site.
