28 Click “Insert Alert Device.”
29 Test the operation of the paging base and pager configuration by sending
a quick message to a pager.
30 The alert device type “Wall Pager” will be listed in the alert device menu
and can now be added to actions, as desired.
• You must have a custom alert message programmed for this device to
function properly.
• The wall pager should only be added to each action one time. For
example, if using an escalation path for alerts, include the wall pager only
one time in that action at the first stage.
8.1.3.1 Advanced Wall Pager Configuration Options
The wall pager is controlled by a configuration file that Radius uses to
determine its default settings. The file is located in the C:\Statsol> directory on
each Radius server. The default file name is wall_pager.conf. This file can be
used to customize the way the wall pager behaves and shows certain items on
the display.
The default wall_pager.conf file is overwritten during any software update. To
ensure the file is not overwritten:
1 Create a copy of the existing wall_pager.conf, and name it
wall_pager_site.conf in the Statsol Directory.
• The system will automatically check to see if there is a
wall_pager_site.conf in the statsol directory. If wall_pager_site.conf is
found, it will use this configuration. If wall_pager_site.conf is not found the
system will revert back to the default and use wall_pager.conf.
2 Once you have created the new file, wall_pager_site.conf, edit the
information within that file.
