DDRESS CALCULATION
Address codeword values generally do not coincide with
(part of) the user address as specified in the CAPCODE.
To find the address codewords corresponding to a user
address a conversion has to be done (Table 24). The type
of conversion depends on the CAPCODE range in which
the user address is located. Note that addresses are
transmitted LSB first (differently to POCSAG).
Short addresses, are transmitted in a single address
codeword where as long addresses are transmitted in two
consecutive address codewords. The first codeword of a
long address contains the lower part of the address, the
second codeword the upper part. By combining two long
address codewords from different banks 6 long address
ranges are created: 1 to 2, 1 to 3, 1 to 4, 2 to 3, 2 to 4 and
3 to 4. Ranges 2 to 4 and 3 to 4 are as yet undefined and
reserved.
Table 24 describes how to calculate the 21 bit address
codeword which is transmitted over the air.

All numbers are in hexadecimal format.
The MOD operator gives the remainder of an integer division.
CAPCODE refers to the value of the address field in a FLEX
CAPCODE.
The DIV operator is the integer division.
A short address consists of a single codeword.
The upper codeword range in bank 2 is used from the highest address downwards, i.e. the lowest value of the
CAPCODE produces a codeword value of 1FFFFEH.
