Setting up paging alerts

To set up paging alerts:

1 Boot your server from the Server Companion CD, then select System Setup Utility from the menu. The System Setup Utility starts.

2 Install an external modem on the serial RJ-45 port on the back of your server.

3 In the SSU Main window, click Platform Event Manager (PEM).

4 In the PEM window, click Configure EMP.

5 In the corresponding boxes, enter the following command strings for the modem attached to the serial RJ-45 port:

■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.

■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. Sent every time the EMP initializes. You will be notified if the string is truncated. Following a save, the actual string saved is displayed in the edit box.

9 Click to select the Enable PEP check box.

10 In the Blackout Period box, type the minimum time, in minutes, between successive 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.
