Paging is an older technology, available in three variants:

  • tone-only;
  • numeric messages;
  • text messages.

The Octalarm alarm dialler supports the text messages variant. It uses a SOAP link to send paging messages over the internet. Paging does not work without an internet connection.

Note: Paging is only supported in the Netherlands. You need an Internet paging activation from KPN, which you can set up via the KPN portal. For information about login details for this portal, contact the KPN paging service department: semafonie@kpn.com.
