3.10 Configuring Dial-Out Alert

When you are not monitoring the system through a modem
connection, you can use the RMC dial-out alert feature to
remain informed of system status. If dial-out alert is enabled,
and the RMC detects alarm conditions within the managed
system, it can call a preset pager number.
You must configure remote dial-in for the dial-out feature to be enabled. See
Section 3.9. To set up the dial-out alert feature, enter the RMC from the local
serial terminal.
Example 3–2 Dial-Out Alert Configuration
RMC> set dial
Dial String: ATXDT9,15085553333
RMC> set alert
Alert String: ,,,,,,5085554444#;
RMC> enable alert
Modem will be enabled when it is connected
RMC> clear alert
RMC> send alert
Alert detected!
# Disconnect the serial terminal and connect the modem at COM1 port.
# You should receive an alert within 30 minutes of modem connection.
# Once the alert is received, reconnect the serial terminal and clear the test alert.
RMC> clear alert
RMC> status

Alert Enable: Enabled
A typical alert situation might be as follows:
The RMC detects an alarm condition caused by excessive temperature.
The RMC dials the operator's pager and sends a message identifying the
system.
The operator dials the system from a remote serial terminal.
The operator invokes the RMC, checks system status, and powers down the
managed system.
