Dial-Out Alerts
When you are not monitoring the system remotely, you can use the RCM dial-
out feature to notify you of a power failure within the system.
When a dial-out alert is triggered, the RCM initializes the modem for dial-out, sends
the dial-out string, hangs up the modem, and reconfigures the modem for dial-in.
The modem must continue to be powered, and the phone line must remain active, for
the dial-out alert feature to work. Also, if you are connected to the system remotely,
the dial-out feature does not work.
Enabling Dial-Out Alerts
1.
Enter the set rcm_dialout command, followed by a dial-out alert string, from
the SRM console (see
²
in Example 6–1). See the next topic for details on
composing the modem dial-out string.
2.
Invoke the RCM and enter the enable command to enable remote access dial-in.
The RCM status command should display “Remote Access: Enable.” See
³
.
3.
Enter the alert_ena command to enable outgoing alerts. See
