How-To: Configure a numeric pager alert.
This document provides the basic steps required to add a numeric pager to the pager alert within IPSentry. You should refer to the pager alert documentation for details regarding various field entries.
Select Options from the Edit Menu.
Select the Server/Machine Monitoring Tab
Highlight the machine you wish to modify and hit the Properties button.
Select the Pager tab.
Set the Enabled status to Yes.
Click the Add button to insert a new pager.
Set the Paging Type to Numeric (DTMF)
At this point, you have the option of using TAPI or Direct to
Com.
Use of TAPI will depend on your system configuration, hardware, and
the need to share the com port with other apps such as Fax software and
such. We recommend the use of Direct to Com unless you have a specific
need to make use of TAPI.
Select the Modem Delivery tab.
Enter the numeric pager number in the Dial Number field.
Set the Delay After Dial value to the number of seconds required after
dialing for the pager system to ring, answer and become ready for dialing a
pager number. (Usually between 5 and 7 seconds)
If you are required to dial a PIN or Pager ID before entering the codes,
enter the PIN in the Pager ID field and then enter the number of seconds
needed to wait before dialing the codes in the Delay after PIN field.
Enter the Custom Code if desired/required.
Select the appropriate Dash Char (character used to transmit a '-' to your
pager)
Select the appropriate End Page character (used to finalize the paging
sequence)
Select the Modem/Port Settings Tab
Select the Com port to which the modem is attached.
In most cases, the Speed and Data Settings have little affect on numeric
paging so 2400, E71 respectively should work.
Set the Modem Init to ATE0 (Refer to your modem manual for
additional/alternate settings)
Set the Dial String to ATDT (Refer to your modem manual for
additional/alternate settings)
Click the TEST button to test your pager configuration.
The most common problems encountered with basic numeric paging are:
Selecting the wrong COM port for the modem.
Entering the wrong telephone number as the Dial Number.
Entering a delay value that is too high or too low.
Numeric paging configuration takes some time to fine-tune the settings for various ring-times and delay settings.
