In you enable the pager, Servers Alive can send you alerts via an attached modem to a numeric pager.
In order to send you the alert, you must specify the Phone number of your numeric pager. Also the COM port (in most cases TAPI will work best) to which your modem is attached. You can also specify how many times a host must be checked as been down before it will send out a pager alert. (remember that you will also have to include the host for paging. By default a host is NOT included in the paging. This can be changed by EDITING a host)
In most cases, after dialing the phonenumber of your pager, Servers Alive will have to wait several seconds before sending out the numeric information. This wait can be entered bij entering a number of , (comma) in the Wait string box. (every , represents aprox. 2 seconds) Also after a numeric message has been entered, you need to specify a 'end-of-message' indicator, this misy be entered in the End message indicator box.
You can test the pager by clicking on the pager-icon. (remember to push the apply button, otherwise Servers Alive will use the 'old'-settings.)
Note :
  • The message that you will get on your pager will show you a number. This number is the Host ID you can enter when creating/editing a host.
