Best way I would recommended is using the Alpha pagers email address if they have one. Then you can set all the pagers up in one notification. Most alpha pagers now have email addresses and you can even specify another alternate SMTP server besides a primary to send out notifications. That's the way we have it setup and then monitor the SMTP server on the Whats Up Gold server (secondary) to send notifications out the primary SMTP server if our notification/SMTP server is not running.

I am currently running WUG ver 6. I have purchased the upgrade to Ver 8, but have yet to install it. This is a problem with notification, not detection. Most of our devices are setup to notify 4 alpha pagers when a problem is detected. If several devices are detected down at the same time, it can take a very long time just to notify us. We have had instances where the devices are back up before WUG got around to all of the notifications. Then we wait while it notifies us that they are all back up. Does WUG have a way to make several alpha pager notifications during the same call?? It seems to make a separate call for each device and each pager. All of our pagers use the same provider Thanks Steve Murphy Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
