Hi, I just found out about your project and it's a great project! I want to try it for my small restaurant project. I was wondering how did the program recognize each of the pager numbers? Did you manually pair it first with the pager system machine transmitter?

thank you

Not the creator, but no pairing is needed. The LRS protocol/message is open/not encrypted. Basically, fire and forget. As long as you broadcast on the correct frequency, which is important, the pagers are listening for their own numbers. Just ike POASAG pagers. Hope this helps.
