Talkback Paging
Introduction
This section describes how the Talkback Paging option (B08) operates in the Series 2000
paging terminal. A talkback page is a two-way communication between the caller and the
called party. The caller pages and then converses with the paged party.
The recipient of a talkback page typically carries a handheld mobile radio rather than a
pager. A talkback page might also be received by a mobile radio in a vehicle. This can be
very convenient if the recipient of the page is likely to have a difficult time getting to a
phone.
Limitations of Talkback Paging
There are some limitations to talkback paging in the Series 2000. These follow:
1. Calls can be received by the talkback pager but cannot be originated by the
talkback pager.
2. Talkback paging is restricted to half-duplex and full-duplex radio systems. The
mobile radio must be full or half-duplex; the base station must be full duplex,
capable of receiving while transmitting.
3. The call limit and mobile activity timeouts, and associated warning thresholds, are
set on a per station card basis.
Talkback interacts with the PageSaver modes as follows:
• Paging - talkback paging is a special case of paging. The only restriction is that
sequenced paging is not allowed, otherwise it is fully compatible.
• Insure - if there is no answer to the talkback page the insured mode can be
forwarded to, and an insured page left.
• Mailbox - if there is no answer to the talkback page the mailbox mode can be
forwarded to, and a voice message can be left.
