Pager Service Expanders
In Engineering mode, when you select the Pager object, the RENO Configurator tab displays. It contains the protocol expanders to configure the paging service, and an additional expander to test the pager connection.
The TAP Protocol expander lets you configure the settings of the paging service using TAP protocol. You must configure both the protocol settings and the providers for dispatching the pager messages.
