The Pager Action sends a user-specified message to a pager.

Configure the following:

  • Name. Enter a unique name for the action. This name displays in the Actions Library.
  • Description. Enter a short description about the action. This description displays next to the action in the Actions Library.
  • Terminal number. Enter the pager number to dial. Your service provider can provide you with this number.
  • Terminal password. If required, enter the pager password here. This is a password that is required to log in to some paging services.
  • Modem Setup. Select either Primary, or one of the Alternate setups.
  • Protocol. Select the type of protocol used by your pager service.
  • Pager ID. Enter the pager identification number.
  • Message. Text message plus embedded percent variable code snippets, as needed.
  • Port Settings. Select to further define your modem setup selection. Modem Setup is used specifically to support different service providers in case you use more than one provider for sending your pager notifications. There could also be times you want to change your settings to meet a specific service provider’s requirements for a specific notification (for example: a lower baud rate). To do this, you can set up an alternate Modem Setup and associate this to the notification instead of using your Primary setting.
    Note: Changing the port settings for the desired modem setup affects ALL uses of that setting.
Tip: To check the status of an action, or to cancel an action, in the WhatsUp Gold console go to Tools > Running Actions.
