RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Help with using modem.

[Jim Brunsell]

I had simliar issues setting this up with verizon , sprint and T-mobile, It took several calls to each to find an operator who understood what I was talking about, thier websites were of no help.  and I had to experiment with the paging config to find a combination that worked.  None of the 800 numbers they gave me worked or any of the numbers I located on the internet.  Verizon and Sprint are working fine for me now, both with local numbers  I'm still working on T-mobile   I realize this isn't much help, but I feel your pain.   Jim Brunsell IT Manager/Network Engineer Ritchie Corporation v: 316.462.0058 f: 316.462.0010 [EMAIL PROTECTED]  -----Original Message----- From: Kevin McCraw [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 1:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Help with using modem. No, I am still working on this issue; I have been told that I need to get the terminal number from Nextel to transfer the analog data, but Nextel does not seem to have a clue of what I am referring to. If you get your issue solved before I do, please let me know.   Thanks Kevin     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Lee, Tara Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 1:17 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Help with using modem.

I am having this same problem with the pager.  I am using Nextel.  Is there a terminal number that I need to get from Nextel that is not the same as the paging number from a landline.  If anyone is using a Nextel phone for the paging service ( not the email text) the please reply and let me know how you have this setup.

You'd actually want to edit a pager notification device, not a beeper.  For the number you need to put in a phone number that corresponds to your service; it is generally NOT the pager number.  You can call your provider if you don't have this (I called arch to get mine).  The pager id is then just the pager phone number.  I used the default dial string.   BTW, this provided a use for one of about thirty old decommissioned 14.4 modems...I knew there was a reason for saving them! :^) Greg Greg Schaffer Director of Network Services Information Technology Division Middle Tennessee State University ----- Original Message ----- From: Wieczorek, Eric SGT NE-ARNG To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 04, 2002 9:00 AM Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] Help with using modem. Hello. I need some help with making use of a modem in WUG. I am running WUG 7.04 on a dedicated Dell 1650 server.  I have installed a PCI modem into this server. I have a pager that accepts text emails.  I'd like to configure WUG to send a message to this pager via the modem. 1.Can WUG with an internal pci modem or does it need to be an external modem connected to my com port? 2.When editing the beeper notification, what do I put for a beeper number? 3.What should the dial string look like? 4.What do I put for a com port if I'm using an internal pci modem? Thanks for all your assistance. Eric Wieczorek Network Administrator | Nebraska Army National Guard
