4.3.6.9 NUM17 Pager Setup

The Num17 Pager can receive point addresses of alarms. It is quite similar to the Numeric Paging format in the
way it receives and reports alarms. However, on certain pager systems the symbol * will cause a freeze or other
undesirable situations. Num17 eliminates the * symbol from the pages it receives and reports alarms as a 17-digit
series of numbers.
User the following steps to configure Num17 Pager settings:
1. Under the column select
Type
2. Enter the phone number of the numeric pager under the Phone heading, followed by commas (for example
). Placing a comma after the phone number initiates a two second pause per comma. This allows
555-1212,,,,,,,
enough time for the pager to answer before the NetGuardian sends the alarm information. The
and fields are not used from Num17 pager types.

3. Click to save the configuration settings.

4.3.6.10 Echo Notification Setup

An Echo notification type enables an alarm point on the NetGuardian to operate a control on another SNMP
remote from DPS.
1. From the Notification devices tab, choose Echo as the notification Type.
2. Enter the Community Set Name in the Phone/Domain field.
3. Enter the Relay Point Reference in the Pin/Pcpt/Port field. This is entered as:[Port].[Address].[Display].[Relay
Point] NOTE: The Port will always be 99, and the address is always 1. Therefore, your entries will always
begin with 99.1.
4. The Baud/Wfmt and Group fields will not be used.
5. Under IPA, enter in the IP address of the SNMP-enabled, DPS remote you are setting up to operate its relay.
NOTE: If more than one point is mapped to Echo notification, the OR'ed logic is applied.

4.3.7 Defining Point Groups

Each NetGuardian Alarm point can be assigned to one of eight groups, which are identified with a user-defined
label. Once the point groups are defined, the Point Group IDs can be used to group base and system alarms, see
section "Configuring Base Discrete Alarms."
Use the following steps to define alarm messages for alarm point groups:
1. To define the point groups, select
2. Then enter the appropriate descriptions in the
