Configuring Dial-Out Alert

When you are not monitoring the system from a modem connection,
you can use the RMC dial-out alert feature to remain informed of sys-
tem status. If dial-out alert is enabled, and the RMC detects alarm
conditions within the managed system, it can call a preset pager num-
ber.
You must configure remote dial-in for the dial-out feature to be enabled. See
Section 6.6.4.
To set up the dial-out alert feature, enter the RMC from the local serial termi-
nal or local VGA monitor.

A typical alert situation might be as follows:
•
The RMC detects an alarm condition, such as over temperature warning.
•
The RMC dials your pager and sends a message identifying the system.
•
You dial the system from a remote serial terminal.
•
You enter the RMC, check system status with the env command, and, if the
situation requires, power down the managed system.
•
When the problem is resolved, you power up and reboot the system.
