Hey, Michael Teff et al.!!
It worked!! Michael gave me the missing piece. WUG dials the special
modem number that Arch Wireless gave to me. The password field is blank.
My 7-digit pager number goes in the pager ID field. THAT was the key
component!! Why couldn't Arch tell me that?? I use the TAP protocol. My
modem initialization string is ATE0Q0V1X4. My baud rate is set to 2400.
And the 8N1 bits and parity box is unchecked. Although there's still no
sound coming from my modem, WUG says the test is successful, and the page
comes through a moment later. I inserted my own alphanumeric message. Now
I'll try assigning some device reporting variables and watch to see them
come through.
Thanks to all. Talk soon when the next hurdle arises. Nearing the end of
this project, though. Thank God!!

My posts to the forum seem to be taking forever to get there, so I'm
sending
this directly. Hope you don't mind.
Sound like your pagers are similar to ours. We have Pagenet...Now Arch..
We were giving a modem number plus PIN numbers for dialing in.
Here are the setting that I have for ours. 7E1, running at 2400 baud over
com 4 and then the PIN number as the pager ID not as the Password in WUG.
Another thing is to open the Debug log while you are doing the testing to
watch what is going on. It will show what's being sent and received as you
do the test.

E-mailing the pager is not my problem. Dialing the pager and having data
sent to it (like x server is down at x time) is the problem. Well, I'm
getting a bit closer. Arch Wireless did give me a modem number that gets
dialed into, then my 7-digit pager number gets inserted in the WUG password
(or PIN) field. I also should make sure 8N1 is unchecked, as I'm supposed
to use 7E1. During the pager test in WUG6.0, it dials up the modem number
877.............., then you get the transmission static for several
seconds,
then it stops and all my modem lights go out. I've been playingaround with
every possible configuration with the WUG pager entry, modem and COM1
settings for speed, data/parity/stop and keep getting mixed results. After
every config change I test the modem with phone dialer and a hyperterminal
entry to the MultiTech Systems (my modem) BBS. If I successfully dial out
to them, then I proceed to test the WUG pager entry. Currently, I get light
activity when the modem dials out, but no sound at all. It's not the phone
cord or the wall jack, and I don't think it's the modem. I've tried going
back to all the settings I had when it last dialed to the Arch Wireless
modem #, but with no success. I'm going to try another modem. After a
failed dial attempt, sometimes the modem lights stay on and sometimes they
don't???????????? Should have been a plumber!! Anybody else have any
brainy
tidbits to offer me??? Thanks.....

Please respond to

The email address you send to for Pagenet is it something like this.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or...one of the Archwireless addresses. We
have Pagenet pagers and I have it working fine right now.

Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] having WUG6.0 dial a pager for notification
Hi, People.
All of my devices send notifications to a PageNet pager via an SMTP e-mail
to the pager. E-mails that go outside the company must go out via our
SMTP3 server. And I receive the notifications on the pager just fine.
Here's my problem:
We also want to monitor the SMTP3 server. But since all WUG notification
e-mails to the pager must go out via SMTP3, then we can't send an e-mail to
the pager if SMTP3 goes down. So, I simply want to set notification on the
SMTP3 server as an actual page to the pager (not an e-mail to the pager). I
connected a modem to the WUG machine and configured the pager entry in the
notifications library for our pager. And I've got the modem dialing out on
a test okay. But the PageNet answering system picks up on the other end
and
asks you to enter your numeric page after the beep. Does anybody know of
any special codes or characters that must be inserted into a certain field
that will allow the notification data to be passed along to the pager?? I'm
waiting to speak with a techy from Arch Wireless tomorrow. Thanks, folks.
