this function.

Enter 0 to disable this function.

Force Alarm Acknowledge Code: Establishes a code that acknowledges all unacknowledged alarms.
This acts as a master code and can override all other alarm acknowledge codes.

Pager Message Strip Timestamp: Check to remove the alarm timestamp from the pager message. This
reduces the size of the pager message as the user can estimate when the alarm occurred based on when the

3-15.1 Configure Phone Numbers

Figure 3-28: Sample FMS Phone Number Configuration

A screen similar to Figure 3-28 is accessed through the Config Phone Number link at the bottom of the
Modem Configuration page. This screen allows users to configure pager and cell phone numbers that are
used for alarm notification.

Select Phone Type: Determines which type of device the FMS calls. Select the Text option to dial a PC
receiving ASCII strings. Select Numeric Pager to dial a numeric pager. Choose the Alpha-numeric Pager
option to dial an alphanumeric pager.

Number: Enter the pager service number for numeric and alphanumeric pager entries. Each comma after
the pager number represents a two second delay. This delay allows time for the pager service to answer
before requesting the pager ID. Typically, it will only be necessary to use one comma between pager
numbers.
However, based on set-up and pager services, users may need to experiment with the number of
commas that are used. In some cases, a 9 must be entered to access an outside line.

Pager ID: Mandatory for numeric and alphanumeric pagers.

NOTE:

Changes will not go into effect until the Submit Changes button is clicked.
