Pager Data Example
Setting
Description
Pager status Enabled Indicates whether 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 the 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.
Dial-out status Enabled Allows ASR-2 to dial out to a remote workstation. If you selected this
option, Dial-In Status is automatically selected.
To use the dial-out feature, set Dial-Out Status to Enabled and set the
Dial-Out String to the correct phone number. You must also set the
Reset Boot option to Boot Compaq Utilities. When the system restarts
because of an ASR reset, the administrator is paged via Pager Status
and Pager Dial String, the system restarts to the Compaq Utilities, and
dials out to the phone number provided in the Dial-Out string. The
dial-out number will be tried five times. If it fails to connect after five
attempts, the modem is put in autoanswer mode.
