Configuring Your Paging Service
You may have to modify some settings in order to adapt to the local environment. It will
be necessary to choose among the provided services or install a new paging service and
substitute the local pager access number, if any, for the supplied one.

2. To view the initial pager configuration dialog, click the PROPERTIES button. The

Service name you selected from the dropdown list is your default.
4. Enter the Service phone number—use the international number format (e.g., “+1
