2. If you’re using modems which operate at the different speeds, go to
the Baud Rate field and type in the speed of the slowest modem
in the particular alarm path you’re configuring.
To name the alarm destination:
Each alarm destination must be designated by an address in the form of a
contact number or string. A maximum of 40 characters are allowed, and
the format of the string is dependent upon the device being used.
The supported devices use the following formats:
DIRECT The address is a defined com port. Valid ranges are from
COM1 to COM16 . This option cannot be used for setting
up alternate alarm paths.)
MODEM The address is a valid AT dial string. If only digits are
used, Access Manager presumes the address to be a phone
number and defaults to using the
ATDT (dial tone)
command when connecting. For your ease, you may use
parentheses and hyphens in the phone number. They
won’t confuse the modem.
X.25 PAD The address is an ASCII string that corresponds to a
vendor-specific connect command for the X.25 PAD
being used. Complete addresses usually follow the format
of a connect command followed by a device address.
STAT-MUX This address is an ASCII string that corresponds to
whatever name the port has been given in the stat mux
device. For example, the port in the stat mux may have
been named
PORT1 , CHANNEL2 , or CHICAGO .
1. To specify the endpoint of the first alarm path, go to the Primary

string.
2. To specify the endpoint of the auxiliary alarm path, go to the
Secondary Alarm Path field and enter the appropriate contact
number or string.
Limiting alarm delivery attempts
You can choose the number of Attempts to deliver the alarm before
giving up. If the path is specified as SEND and the number of retries
expires, the alarm is sent to the BACKUP path.
