6.4 Dial-Out Alerts

When you are not monitoring the system remotely, you can use the RCM dial-
out feature to notify you of a power failure within the system.
When a dial-out alert is triggered, the RCM initializes the modem for dial-out, sends
the dial-out string, hangs up the modem, and reconfigures the modem for dial-in.
The modem must continue to be powered, and the phone line must remain active, for
the dial-out alert feature to work. Also, if you are connected to the system remotely,
the dial-out feature does not work.
Enabling Dial-Out Alerts

the SRM console (see
composing the modem dial-out string.
2. Invoke the RCM and enter the enable command to enable remote access dial-in.

3. Enter the alert_ena command to enable outgoing alerts. See
