How to Use the "Pager Services" Dialog Box

The "Pager Services" dialog box enables you to add and edit services that provide electronic paging. You can access this dialog box only through the "Event Users" dialog box. See How to Set Up Event Users.

The paging feature uses a modem to send information to numeric pagers only. (PowerChute plus cannot receive information from a pager.)

Note:
To use the paging feature on UNIX platforms, you must have UUCP installed and running on all computers running PowerChute plus for UNIX.

The following table explains how to use the dialog box. See also How to Page Users.
