string

555-5555

 

typically use one of the following formats:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Local pagers: ATDT 555-5555

 

 

 

 

Wide area pagers: ATDT 1-800-555-5555,1234567#

 

 

 

 

Pager

1234567#

 

Represents a unique number (maximum seven digits, numeric only) that you

message

 

 

 

must designate to identify the server on your pager display. The ROM adds a

 

 

 

 

three-digit code to the front of this number. The first two indicate the subsystem

 

 

 

 

and the third indicates the severity of the error that caused the alert. The #

 

 

 

 

symbol usually terminates the message. If no message is required, delete the #

 

 

 

 

symbol.

 

 

 

 

 

Pager test

 

Select to test

 

Use this to test the current pager settings. Press Enter to dial the pager number,

 

 

pager setup

 

and the pager message (if present) displays. You must configure the computer

 

 

 

 

before testing the pager and the Pager Status must be set to Enabled. Do not test

 

 

 

 

the pager if you are running remotely and are using only one modem.

 

 

 

 

 

Serial interface

 

COM1

 

Select the communications port for the modem used by the pager and the remote

 

 

 

 

ASR-2 functions. The options are COM1 and COM2.

 

 

 

 

 

Dial-in status

 

Enabled

 

Set Dial-In Status to Enabled. Be sure the Reset Boot option is set to Boot

 

 

 

 

Compaq Utilities. When the system starts because of an ASR reset, it starts to the

 

 

 

 

Compaq Utilities, sets the Management Modem to auto-answer, and waits for the

 

 

 

 

administrator to dial in and run the Compaq Utilities.

 

 

 

 

You automatically disable this option when you configure the software error

 

 

 

 

recovery start option to Boot Operating System. When ASR pages you, you cannot

 

 

 

 

dial in unless ASR-2 exceeds 10, the threshold number of server restart retries.

 

 

 

 

When this happens, ASR-2 restarts the server into the Compaq Utilities and

 

 

 

 

places the modem in auto-answer mode.
