4.2 First-Time Setup
Before you can dial in remotely through the RMC modem port or enable the system
to call out to a remote operator in response to system alerts, several RMC strings and
parameters must be set. Use the following procedure to set up RMC strings,
password and parameters; and to send out a test alert to verify the modem strings are
set correctly.
1. From the local console terminal, enter the RMC escape sequence at the SRM
prompt. The default escape sequence is ^[^[rcm. This is equivalent to
<Esc><Esc>rcm, where <Esc> is the escape key on a PC keyboard.
You can also enter the RMC from the local graphics monitor by entering the
rcm command at the SRM console prompt, and then entering the escape
sequence. When finished accessing the RMC from the graphics monitor, enter
the reset command to restore the RMC and SRM consoles.
2. Using the RMC command set init, assign the modem initialization string
appropriate for your modem. Some typical initialization strings are:
Modem Initialization String
Motorola 3400 Lifestyle 28.8 at&f0e0v0x0s0=2
AT &T Dataport 14.4/FAX at&f0e0v0x0s0=2
Hayes Smartmodem Optima 288
V-34/V.FC + FAX
at&fe0v0x0s0=2
Refer to your modem documentation for more information on its initialization
strings.
3. Using the RMC commands set dial and set alert, assign a dial string to be called
when the RMC detects an alert condition, as well as a string to be used with a
paging service, usually a call-back number for the paging service.
When an alert is sent, the dial string and alert string are concatenated and sent to
the modem. Note that the dial and alert strings must be in the correct string
format for the attached modem. If a paging service is to be contacted, then the
dial and alert strings must include the appropriate modem commands to dial the
number, wait for the line to connect, and send the appropriate touch tones to
leave a pager message. Elements of a dial and alert string are provided in
Table 4-1.
