Error and User 
Interface 
MessagesThis section contains a list of error messages that might appear during some beeper 
operations.
Beeper Interface Not Installed - The beeper interface software that would 
handle the communications between UAP Applications and the local beeper 
terminal is either not installed or has not been installed properly.
Beeper Interface Offline - The beeper terminal is not communicating with the 
beeper interface software or in not active. First check that the beeper interface 
is active, then check the physical connection between the UAP’s 
communication port and the beeper terminal’s communication port. If the error 
continues to occur, check the beeper interface configuration, and ensure that the 
communication device port is accurate.
Queue Status Error [x] - While attempting to send an IPC message to the beeper 
interface, a message queue error occurred. The value [x] is the system error that 
occurred. This error occurs very infrequently. However, in the event that this 
error does occur, take note of the error number, and contact the site technician. 
Restarting the beeper interface and/or the MCS menu process should correct 
this error condition.
Unable to send beeper message - The MCS menu process was unable to send 
an IPC message to the beeper interface. This error is usually a result of the 
beeper interface terminating abnormally. Make sure that the beeper interface 
software is active. If the software is active, this message indicates that other 
message interface problems are occurring in the system. Check the APM error 
log.
Failure: Timed Out - The MCS menu process timed-out waiting for a response 
from the beeper interface software. If the beeper interface appears to be active 
and this message occurs frequently, you need to increase the response timer.
Failure: Out-of-service - The beeper interface timed-out waiting for an 
acknowledgment from the beeper terminal. If the beeper terminal appears to be 
functioning properly and the error occurs frequently, you need to increase the 
response timer between the beeper interface software and the beeper terminal.

Interface 
ConfigurationA special UNIX user account, bpradm, allows access to configurable interface 
data. This section presents most of the screens that you might need to access during 
installation and support of the interface.
Main Menu
After logging into the UNIX system with the user account name bpradm, the 
following menu displays.
Figure A-8   Beeper Interface Administration Menu
In the figure above, the interface status is active. When the status is active, you can 
start and stop the interface from this menu as well as view some of the log files and 
set the interface configurable data.

The timer parameters relate to the TAP message format. These timing variables 
might require coordination with the vendor specific beeper terminal data. Once you 
have entered the parameters you will be returned to the Configuration Main 
Menu.
Viewing Transaction Log Files
You can view the current transaction log by selecting View Log File option from 
the main screen. Three log files are saved by the beeper interface: One traces 
transaction messages between OAI application and the beeper interface, a second 
traces transaction messages between the beeper interface and the beeper terminal 
interface, and the third is a transaction only file. The third transaction log file will 
contain the results of each beeper request received by the interface. The disposition 
of each request is logged in this file - success or failure. Below is an illustration of 
the View Log File Menu:

Select the log file that you want to view. A screen similar to the following displays. 
You can use PgUp and PgDn as well as command line options that are listed across 
the bottom of the display. These options are described below:

The AutoScroll feature allows you to view the file in real-time. As new messages 
are received, they display at the bottom of the screen. The other command line 
options allow you to move within the file, print a screen display or the complete 
file, or execute an external UNIX command.
