As the AlphaPoc receivers don't have a predefined RIC, so the RIC will be assigned by the DAPNET support team, normally based on the existing CCS7 / DMR ID system. The POCSAG addresses are limited to 2^21 = 2097152, so IDs greater than the limit have to be shortened. It is not necessary to have a CCS7 / DMR ID to register a reciever on DAPNET. | As the AlphaPoc receivers don't have a predefined RIC, so the RIC will be assigned by the DAPNET support team, normally based on the existing CCS7 / DMR ID system.

- | The reception of the rubrics originally designed for [[skyperdescription|Skyper]] described [[rubricactivationskyper|here]] is not as convinient on the Alphapoc as on the Skyper. But there is a workaround: The rubrics are transmitted in both Skyper format and as personal messages. The RIC used for the rubrics for this purpose is 1000 + <RUBIC Number>. So rubric number 42 is RIC 1042. You can assign up to 8 POCSAG addresses (RICs), on your Alphapoc that it listen to. It is convinient to programm you personal RIC and besides the RIC of up to 7 rubrics. So you can still receive the rubics content on the Alphapoc. A mayor drawback is, that the Alphapoc will not distinguish between thoses and really personal messages, filling up your display quite fast. | + | The reception of the rubrics originally designed for [[skyperdescription|Skyper]] described [[rubricactivationskyper|here]] is not as convinient on the Alphapoc as on the Skyper.

You choose between UTC and local time. For UTC you have to use RIC 216 function D / alpha for UTC time or RIC 224 function D / alpha for local time.

+ | ===== Handling RICs ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | As the alphapoc pager doesn’t support rubrics (like the skyper pager), the data is transmitted via a RIC address, e.g. for weather RIC 1080. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The messages are handled like private messages and so they fill up the memory/display. A possible solution: If you change the RIC type from „private“ to „group“, the latest message will be kept and the other (same) messages will be overwritten. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To change the type of a RIC, you have to use the programming software. Please be aware, that only the RIC addresses 5 to 8 can be changed from „private“ to „group“. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ :alphapoc:alphapoc:ricgroup.png?400 |}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Group messages have also another symbol on the pager display, see below: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ :alphapoc:alphapoc:alphapoc-groupmsg.jpg?400 |}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can use this opportunity to change the tone for the RIC to „disable“, if you prefer no sound on receiving rubric messages. | ||
+ | |||

+ | ===== empty battery indicator ===== | ||

+ | {{:alphapoc:emptybattery.jpg|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the battery is empty, the "empty battery" icon appears, an audio alert beeps and **no further messages** will be received. | ||
