Specifies the number of seconds that NMPAGE should wait for an answer (through a call-in) before allowing NMFIND to try the next method of contacting someone.
Setting this parameter to a higher value allows the person who was paged more time to handle the problem before Notification Manager attempts to contact someone else. Therefore, you should set the value high when it is important for a particular person to answer the problem. Setting the value lower means that you are more likely to get a quick response to a problem.
Default: 300
Specifies the baud rate at which to set the modem. Valid values are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, and 9600.
Default: 9600
Specifies the communications port to use when dialing the pager service.
Default: Selects the first available communications port enabled for use by notification services.
Specifies the number of databits per character used by the modem. The TAP protocol requires this value to be set to 7. Valid values are 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Default: 7
Determines whether Notification Manager is to generate debugging messages at the command prompt or the AXCREXX window and in the ASOTRACE log. Possible values are YES and NO.
Default: NO
Some pager services do not strictly conform to TAP protocol for final confirmation during the disconnection sequence. Use the FinalConfirm parameter to specify an acceptable compliance to the TAP disconnection sequence. Values are:
The disconnection sequence must fully comply with the TAP protocol.
A partially TAP-compliant disconnection sequence is acceptable.
A TAP-compliant disconnection sequence is not required.
Default: COMPLETE
Specifies the message to present at the top of the pager's display (before the TELL and ASK messages are presented). The argument can be either a string or voice file. If the argument is a voice file, the name of the voice file must not contain any blanks and the last four characters must be .VOX.
Default: NM CALLING - CALL nnn-nnnn ABOUT ITEM nnnn
Specifies the maximum length of the message to be sent to the pager.
Default: 100 for an alphanumeric pager (Numeric=NO), and 20 for a numeric pager (Numeric=YES)
Specifies the string to pass to the modem to initialize it before it makes the call.
The semicolons in the string are used to delimit the separate strings that are passed to the modem (with a one second wait between each string).
Default: ATZ;AT&C1&D2;ATV1Q0X4;ATS0=0S2=128S7=55
Note: Make sure that you are familiar with the AnswerWait parameter before reading this description. The AnswerWait parameter controls the number of seconds that Notification Manager waits for a paged person to answer the page, before it attempts to contact anyone else. Once the wait time has expired, Notification Manager attempts to contact other people.
The NMfindWait parameter forces NMFIND to guarantee that the person who was paged has at least a certain additional amount of time to call-in to answer the page. The value is in seconds.
You should set this value higher if it is difficult for the person paged to reach a phone and lower if it is easy. The actual effect of this parameter is to cause NMFIND to postpone running the FailureRexx command (if necessary) in order to guarantee that the person paged has adequate time to reach a phone and answer the page through a call-in.
Default: 900
Specifies whether the pager is numeric or alphanumeric. Valid values are:
The page device is a numeric pager.
Numeric page devices are limited to messages that contain numbers 0-9, hyphens, parentheses, and commas.
When the call-in feature is not enabled, the numeric TELL message and the notification item number are sent to the page device. If the TELL message includes invalid numeric characters, NMPAGE filters them out and substitutes them with a hyphen to indicate that a string of non-numeric characters was included in the message, but could not be displayed from the numeric page device. For example, if the message for item 1234 was “Workstation 7 recycled at 12 noon,” the message sent to the pager would be “7-12 1234.” If no valid numeric characters exist in the TELL message, only the item number is sent to the pager. For example, if the message for item 1235 was “Workstation number seven recycled at noon,” the message sent to the pager would be “1235.”
When the call-in feature is enabled, the numeric message sent to the page device includes the call-in phone number and the notification item number. The page recipient must use the call-in feature to retrieve the actual TELL message.
Note: Set TellExact to YES to send TELL-only valid numeric messages to the numeric page device without the item number.
When Numeric is set to YES, the TELL message is not prefixed with a greeting.
The page device is an alphanumeric pager
Default: NO
If a page request fails, PageRetry specifies the number of times a page is retried, provided the page fails with a return code specified by the RetryRCList parameter. The total number of attempts to resubmit a page will be one more than the value of PageRetry.
Default: 3
Specifies the pager ID that NMPAGE is to tell the pager service needs to be paged.
Specifies the password for the pager service.
Specifies the number of seconds to wait between retries of the page.
Default: 60
Specifies the method used by the modem for error checking. The TAP protocol requires this value to be set to E. Valid values are: N (None), E (Even), O (Odd), M (Mark), S (Space).
Default: E
Specifies the phone number of the pager service.
Specifies the list of return codes used by NMPAGE to determine if retries will be attempted. If the return code is on the list, NMPAGE will retry the number times defined by PageRetry. If the return code is not in this list, NMPAGE will not reattempt it. The list of return codes must be separated by commas for this parameter to work properly.
Specifies the time between transmitted characters used by the modem, represented by a number. The TAP protocol requires this value to be set to 1. Valid values are: 0, 1, and 2.
Default: 1
Specifies the name of the system that is running the notification server you want to perform the call. The sysname value can contain up to eight alphanumeric characters.
Default: The local system name
(Optional) Specifies the numeric ID of the Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI) device or modem, (installed on the notification server) you want to use.
To enhance performance, if there is already an established connection to the specified pager service, notification server overrides the TAPIDEVICEID setting and issues the page over the existing connection.
Note: To view all of the Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI) devices that are installed under Windows on the Notification Server, issue the GETTAPIDEVICELIST command.
Default: Selects the first available TAPI device
Notes:
Determines whether Notification Manager sets the TELL message with a call-in number and item number. Values are:
Issue the page message without the call-in number and item number added.
Issue the page message with a call-in number and item number.
Default: NO
