TAP Paging

HP Remote Assistant can use your modem to transmit information about network
events to your pager and/or alphanumeric receiving device. This information is
typically sent via tower or satellite, or both.

If your paging service supports the Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP), set pager
status to TAP. Pressing <F10> displays the following panel which allows you to
identify your Pager ID, set the Modem Dial Prefix (initialization string) and, if
necessary, reset communications parameters including parity stop and data bits. You
will find that the default communications parameters (U.S. defaults) shown in the
following panel, namely 7 data bits, even parity, and 1 stop bit, are supported by most
pager services.

NOTE

If you are using Remote Assistant's internal modem, use the default Modem
Dial Prefix. Pressing <F4> loads the appropriate modem dialing prefix for an
HP-supported modem previously selected during communications
configuration. If you are not using an HP-supported external modem, refer
to README.TXT on the NetServer diskette.
