Paging Data Terminals (PDTs)
Paging Data Receivers (PDRs)
Paging Serial Receivers (PSRs)
Installing the software
PDTP requires a PC running Windows 2000/NT/XP and at least 32MB RAM.
1. Unzip the installer PDTP.zip to a temporary file or open the installer files in
Winzip.
2. Run the installer by double clicking on Setup.exe.
3. Follow the instructions in the installer wizard.
4. Once installed run PDTP by clicking on the shortcut or selecting esp.exe from
the folder in which it is installed.
5. You will be prompted to Enter Set ID . The ke y will have been provided to
you or may be contained on the CD in a notepad file called PDTP Key.txt.
6. Hit OK.
7. If your key permits access to more than one Template then a selection of
templates will appear in a new window. If your key only allows access to one
template then PDTP will start automatically in that template.

PDR etc.}

{PDTP does not read or write to the PDT/PDR unless instructed to do so. It is
recommended that unless you need to change the basic template of the PDT/PDR then
you download the settings from the unit first. Click on the “Download From Pager”
button. This will download the current settings from the PDT/PDR. It will also
ensure that the template was selected correctly. The template will change to that
contained in the PDT/PDR if it was not selected correctly when you opened PDTP.
If you need to change the basic template of the PDT/PDR do not do a download. Just
select your template, change the settings and press “Upload To Pager” (Please
