Alerting for Platform Events
You can set up the server to alert you when various events occur. Alerts
can be delivered either as telephone pages or over the LAN.
Instructions for setting up both telephone paging alerts and LAN alerts
are given below.
Setting Up Paging Alerts
To set up the server to send alerts as telephone pages:
1 Install an external modem on the Emergency Management Port
(serial 2).
2 From the SSU Main window, choose Platform Event Manager
(PEM).
3 In the PEM window, click Configure EMP.
4 In the corresponding boxes, enter the following command strings
for the modem attached to the EMP port (boxes that aren’t listed
here are not required for paging alerts):
• ESC Sequence: the escape sequence. This string is sent to the
modem before sending command strings. The maximum
length for the string is five characters; longer strings are
truncated.
• Hangup String: hang up or drop the connection. The EMP
automatically sends an <ENTER> character following this
string. The maximum length for the string is eight characters;
longer strings are truncated.
• Modem Dial Command: the command to dial a phone
number. This string is sent to the modem before sending the
paging string.
• Modem Init String: the initialization string for the modem.
This string is sent every time the EMP initializes. The maximum
length for the string is determined at run-time from firmware.
You will be notified if the string is truncated. Following a save,
the actual string saved is displayed in the edit box.
5 Click Save to save the changes.
6 Click Close to return to the PEM window.
7 In the PEM window, click Configure PEP.
8 Select the Enable PEP check box.
