NOTE

TAP pagers require only a phone number for the service. There is no need to
enter confirmation codes or commas. See the following section on TAP
Paging.

Some pager services may also require a pager ID, which must also be included in the
Pager # string. For example, a Pager # entry for a pager service might look like this:

9w800-555-7654,,,,347783#,,

After connecting with the pager service, HP Remote Assistant sends a notification
consisting of the server identification code and an event code. (See Appendix A for a
description of event codes.)

Adding a Confirmation Code

By default, HP Remote Assistant automatically adds two pound signs (#) to
the end of the pager string. These characters are required by most pager
services to confirm and send the message. However, your pager service may
require a different touch-tone sequence for confirmation. For example, some
pager services require two stars (*) at the end of the pager string.

If you are using a pager service that requires alternate characters at the end of
the string, you can override the default by inserting a dollar sign ($)
indicating the pager message, immediately followed by the required
characters at the end of the pager string. For example:

9w800-555-7654,,,,$**

The above example instructs HP Remote Assistant to send two stars (*) at the
end of the pager string instead of the default pound (#) signs. If you do not
insert "$" in the pager string, HP Remote Assistant will send the default
characters instead.

Enabling, Disabling, and Setting Pager Type

Select checkboxes to enable or disable paging for an administrator alias. When paging
for an alias is disabled, the administrator will not receive a notification, regardless of
the events tagged for notification in the Event Management window. If multiple
pagers are enabled, HP Remote Assistant will begin paging with the first pager in the
list, then move toward the bottom of the list until every enabled alias has been paged.
Setting pager status to Disabled also cancels any pending pages that are queued up.
