Setting up paging alerts
To set up paging alerts:
1 Boot your server from the Server Companion CD, then select System Setup
Utility
from the menu. The System Setup Utility starts.
2 Install an external modem on the serial RJ-45 port on the back of your
server.
3 In the SSU Main window, click Platform Event Manager (PEM).
4 In the PEM window, click Configure EMP.
5 In the corresponding boxes, enter the following command strings for the
modem attached to the serial RJ-45 port:
■ 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 E
NTER character following this string. The
maximum length for the string is eight characters.
■ 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—Initialization string for the modem. Sent every time
the EMP initializes. You will be notified if the string is truncated.
Following a save, the actual string saved is displayed in the edit box.
6 Click Save to save the changes.
7 Click Close to return to the PEM window.
8 In the PEM window, click Configure PEP.
9 Click to select the Enable PEP check box.
10 In the Blackout Period box, type the minimum time, in minutes, between
successive pages. The valid range is 0-255 where 0 disables the blackout
period.
Setting a blackout period can save you from being flooded with repeat
pages. After you receive a PEP page, no additional pages are sent by PEP
for the duration of the blackout period.
