Using the System Control Manager 8-27
Sets the string to be used by the SCM to dial out when an alert condition
occurs. The dial string must include the appropriate modem commands to
dial the number.
Sets the alert string that is transmitted through the modem when an alert
condition is detected. Set the alert string to the phone number of the
modem connected to the remote system. The alert string is appended after
the dial string, and the combined string is sent to the modem.
Alert dial-out is enabled.
Issue the test alert command to test the alert dial-out settings.
Now issue the show status command to verify settings. Note that the
alert pending value is YES (
), indicating the test alert was successful.
Once the dial-out settings are verified, the pending alert should be cleared
by entering the clear alert command.
Paging services vary, so you need to become familiar with the options provided
by the paging service you will be using. The SCM supports only numeric mes-
sages.
NOTE: If you do not want dial-out paging enabled at this time, enter the
disable alert command after you have tested the alert dial-out
function. Alerts continue to be logged, but no paging occurs.
