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.
6. Click Close to return to the PEM window.
7. In the PEM window, click "Configure PEP".
