Note: Some modems, such as the IBM 7857-017, are not designed for the paging
function. Although they can be used for paging, they return an error message
when they do not get the expected response from another modem. Therefore,
even though the paging was successful, the error message causes the Service
Processor to retry, continuing to place pager calls for the number of retries
specified in the Call-Out Policy Setup Menu. These retries result in redundant
pages.

Customizing the Modem Configuration Files
You can create your own modem configuration files or modify the samples provided.
After you customize your modem configuration files, you
must access them through the
Configure Remote Maintenance Policy Service Aid rather than from the Service
Processor menus.
Notes:
1. If you have already set up your serial ports, line speeds, authorizations and
telephone numbers from the Service Processor menus, use the service aid to
specify your customized modem configuration files.
2. If you have not already set up your serial ports, line speeds, authorizations, and
telephone numbers from the Service Processor menus, you can use the service
aids to set them while you specify your customized modem configuration files.
To disable Auto-Reliable Mode testing of the remote modem, use the sample modem
configuration file /usr/share/modems/modem_f.cfg as a model to modify.
1. Find the necessary command in your modem manual.
