I noticed that you haven't mentioned some critical troubleshooting
steps.

FWIW, my troubleshooting regimen would include the following:

1. Call the pager from a regular phone, to ensure it can receive pages
from another source.
2. Test the paging function of WUG while sitting next to the modem, with
the modem speaker turned on. Make sure to try different bit-parity-stop
combinations, like 7-Even-1. Listen to ensure that the modem connects.
If it doesn't connect, suspect a wrong phone number, or the TAP service
is at fault.
3. If modem connects but still fails, connect to the TAP service
(assuming it's TAP) using your favorite terminal emulator, and enter the
protocol by hand (you'll likely have to Google on "TAP protocol" to find
the exact steps).
4. If the manual method works, recheck settings, then blame WUG. :)

Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] repeating failed WUG alerts to a pager



Hi, people.  Sorry this is a bit lengthy.

I've got a real asskicker of a problem here.  I don't think it has
anything
to do with my WUG installation itself, but then again, I am really
puzzled
at this point.

First off, I've got a W2K server, WUG 7.03 was installed when the
problem
began surfacing about 10 days ago.  I just upgraded to 8.0 this past
Monday.

Got many Lotus Notes servers being monitored.  Compaq Insight Mgr also
monitoring these servers and set up to deliver SNMP traps to my WUG
server.
The SNMP traps generate a PAGE to the Lotus Notes team pager.  Note all
of
the failed attempts that came from the CITLNADMINHUB server in the log
below.  Already confirmed 100% that there's nothing wrong with the pager
alerting config in WUG.  SNMP traps from other Notes servers generate
successful notifications to the pager.  The ADMINHUB server's SNMP
service
is configured properly; looked at that 100 times.  "send authentication
traps" is disabled, and the community names are right.  On the ADMINHUB
device in WUG, it was originally set to accept ANY traps.  We believe we
tracked the problem of authentication failure traps to a Notes server
over
in our London office.  But the problem here in WUG is the repeated
failed
attempts to send a page to the Notes pager.  It's going over and over
and
over  for the past few days.  I've had my pager company reset the pager
in
order to flush out any queued pages that may be flooding it.  I've even
taken the Notes pager out of the ADMINHUB alerts configuration.  The WUG
server and external modem have been power cycled a few times, as well.
My
question, I guess, will WUG re-attempt a failed notification  x number
of
times before it drops the attempt altogether?  I don't know where the
problem is. Anybody????????   Thanks......
