Description
Pager status
Enabled
Indicates if the pager feature is enabled or disabled.
Pager dial
string
ATDT
555-5555
Indicates the pager dial string and delay before the pager message. Pagers
typically use one of the following formats:
Local pagers: ATDT 555-5555
Wide area pagers: ATDT 1-800-555-5555,1234567#
Pager
message
1234567#
Represents a unique number (maximum seven digits, numeric only) that you
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
pager setup
Use this to test the current pager settings. Press Enter to dial the pager number,
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.
