The Event Pager application sends a message to a numeric pager when a Network Manager event occurs. To use the event pager you must configure a set of pager users and also a set of Network Manager event filters to run the pager program when an event occurs.
Setting Up Pager Users
Run the Event Pager configuration program from the Network Manager program group. The Pager Configuration dialog box is displayed.
Name
The user name. Can be any text.
Node Mask
A pattern that matches a Network Manager Agent node name. This must match a node name as it appears in the map. This may or may not be an IP address, depending on the node name in the map. You can use the whole node name, or a pattern containing an asterisk that matches any text. For example, intelHub* matches intelHubEng and intelHubAcct.
Pager Number
The telephone number of the pager.
Port
The workstation serial port connected to a modem.
Delay
The length of time to delay between dialing the pager number and sending the ID string (described below).
Speed
The modem baud rate.
The Mon-Sun check boxes specify the days this pager is active.
Hours On Duty specifies the range of hours (in 24-hour time) this pager is active. Use zero in both boxes if the pager is always active.
ID
The number that is sent to the pager. The default is 505. If the node name is an IP address, the address is also sent to the pager.
