Table 4-2 Elements Of The Dial And Alert Strings - Compaq ES40CSLP Installation, User & Service Manual

Remote System Management
The elements of the dial string and alert string are shown in Table 4-2. Paging services vary, so
you need to become familiar with the options provided by the paging service you will be using.
The RMC supports only numeric messages.
c
Sets the string to be used by the RMC to dial out when an alert condition occurs. The dial
string must include the appropriate modem commands to dial the number.
š
Sets the alert string, typically 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 when an alert condition is detected.
›
Enables the RMC to page a remote system operator.
œ
Clears any alert that may be pending. This ensures that the send alert command will
generate an alert condition.

Forces an alert condition. This command is used to test the setup of the dial-out alert
function. It should be issued from the local serial terminal or local VGA monitor. As long as
no one connects to the modem and there is no alert pending, the alert will be sent to the
pager immediately. If the pager does not receive the alert, re-check your setup.
ž
Clears the current alert so that the RMC can capture a new alert. The last alert is stored until
a new event overwrites it. The Alert Pending field of the status command becomes NO after
the alert is cleared.
Ÿ
Verifies the settings. Check that the Alert Enable field is set to Enabled.
______________________________ Note ___________________________
If you do not want dial-out paging enabled at this time, enter the disable alert
command after you have tested the dial-out alert function. Alerts continue to be
logged, but no paging occurs.

Description
The dial string is case sensitive. The RMC automatically converts all
alphabetic characters to uppercase.
AT = Attention
X = Forces the modem to dial "blindly" (not seek the dial tone). Enter this
character if the dial-out line modifies its dial tone when used for services such
as voice mail.
D = Dial
T = Tone (for touch-tone)
, = Pause for 2 seconds.
The number for an outside line (in this example, 9). Enter the number for an
outside line if your system requires it.
Phone number of the paging service.
Description
Pause for 12 seconds for paging service to answer. Each comma (,) provides a
2-second delay.
A call-back number for the paging service. The alert string must be terminated
by the pound (#) character.
A semicolon (;) must be used to terminate the alert string.
