Page On Alarm - Select to display the Page Report Alarm Event box on error and send alarm
notification to a pager. Click a button for the kind of pager being used: numeric or
alphanumeric.
With a numeric pager, a six digit code is sent:
Digit 1: Report Type
1 = Discharge
2 = Alarm
3 = Warning
Digits 2 to 6: String ID
For example, to report an alarm in String ID 1, the pager would display 200001.
An alphanumeric pager displays the location, battery, and string names and alarm detail.
Access Telephone Number - Type the pager phone number if numeric or the modem ID
number if alphanumeric. If using an alphanumeric pager, use an access number that has a
TAPI interface that communicates using a modem instead of voice. For example, SkyPage's
access number is [phone]. This can also be the TAPI phone number for cellular
phones if the cell phone supports text messaging.
Pager PIN Number - Type the pager private ID (PIN) number if needed or the cell phone
number if using text messaging.
