IPSentry - Options - Modem Settings

The Modem Settings tab provides access to setup the default modem communications configuration that should be used by the majority of your paging alerts.

The following options appear on this tab:

Modem Communications Enabled
If this option is not checked, no paging functions will be performed.  This allows you to completely shutdown all paging functionality if (for example) your modem or phone line becomes unusable.

Note:  Pay special attention to this value if you are successfully configuring and testing pager alerts, but you are not receiving pages when IPSentry detects a failure. 

Default Modem Settings
The default modem settings area contains information regarding the TAPI configuration that should be used by default when configuring pagers.  The box next to the properties button should contain the name of a valid TAPI communications device that you will use to perform pager alerts.

Note: You can override these values on a pager-by-pager basis if required.

Properties (button)
Click this button to configure the basic modem settings such as port speed, data settings, select the TAPI device, etc...

Note: You can override these values on a pager-by-pager basis.

Location
When configuring system TAPI devices, you can configure locations that will utilize different dialing rules.  Select the location you will use by default.

Note: You can override these values on a pager-by-pager basis.
