9. Select the Access Mode to set the points at which serial/modem connectivity can be activated:
•
Preboot—A serial or modem connection can be made when the server is powered down or hard
reset. Once the operating system is loaded, a connection cannot be made.
•
Always Active—A connection to the server can be established at any time.
•
Disabled—A connection cannot be made to the server using serial/modem access.
10. Select the Restricted Mode to set the restrict power control operations:
•
Enabled—Enable restrictions. A user cannot use serial/modem access to affect the power state of
the system, such as powering the server on or off.
•
Disabled—Disables restrictions. A user can choose to power the server on or off through a
serial/modem connection.
11. Select the Connection Mode:
•
Direct Connect—Use direct connect when a system is connected directly to the server through the
serial port, without using an external modem.
•
Modem Connect—Use modem mode when the serial port is connected to an external modem.
12. System Phone Number: Enter the telephone number that is being used to connect to this server.
13. Click Continue.
14. Select the Enable Serial/Modem Paging option.
15. In the Alert Destination Phone Number box, enter the telephone number that the system should send
the page to if an event happens.
16. In the Paging String box, enter the paging string that the server should send after a phone connection is
made.
17. Enter the Blackout Period in minutes. This is the time (in minutes) that should be allowed between
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.
18. Click the Alert Paging Filters button. Click the appropriate boxes to enable/disable filters. Click OK
when you are done, and then click on Continue.
To use the system setup utility to set up the server to send alerts as telephone pages:
1. Install an external modem on the EMP (Serial B port).
2. From the system setup utility Available Tasks 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 are not 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—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.
