with both display and voice messages will be counted under both headings. For each
category a “percentage” column, marked with a percent sign, indicates the percentage that
the particular message type, alert, display, and voice, are of all pages batched in that
station card.
The total number of characters in all batched display messages is shown in the “chars”
column, while the sum of the play time of all the batched voice messages is shown under
the “seconds” column.
These totals and percentages do not take into account reductions in play time possible for
group calls with voice to some pager types, nor the similar reduction for group calls to
some display pager types. Also the effect of repeat pages is not taken into account.

Batched and queued pages can be displayed totaled by their priorities. Queued pages, not
yet batched into the siu, have all normal priority pages lumped together into a single sum
under the “Nrml” heading. Talkback pages waiting for the siu are listed under the “Tbk”
column, which will be blank if talkback is not an option on that siu. The higher priority
pages, of type Next Out and Breakthrough, are listed under the “Next” and “Brk”
columns. If either of these columns are non-zero then no pages from the talkback or
normal queues will be processed, they will stack up until all waiting (queued) nextout and
breakthrough pages have been batched.
Batched pages report the priority distribution of those pages actually batched into the
station card. The fields have similar meanings as the queue fields, except that normal
priority pages have each priority broken out from highest to lowest priority.

The number of pages batched to each zone may be displayed. The zone totals start with
zone zero on the left, ending at zone fifteen at the right.

The default display, also selected by the -q for queued option, shows the total number of
pages batched on the station card, followed by the number of pages waiting to be batched
in each type of queue. Except for talkback, the queues normally have one or no pages in
them, only under heavy traffic conditions with extreme transmitter loading do the batch-
waiting queues get used. Also displayed is the current state of the station card and its voice
channel, as well as the time of completion of the most recent page on that channel.
