How to Page Users
The Page Users action, available through Event Actions... on the Configuration menu, enables PowerChute plus to page selected users when an event occurs.
Use the following steps to configure the Page Users action for an event:
- In the "Event Actions" dialog box, highlight the event from the Events list.
- Mark the check-box for the Page Users action.
- Click Options... for the Page Users action to open the "Page" dialog box:
- Configure which users to page when the event occurs:
- Use the Wait field to define how long PowerChute plus waits before paging users.
Note:
PowerChute plus pages users only when the event lasts for the defined Wait period. For example, for a setting of 10
, users are not paged if the event lasts less than 10 seconds.
- The value in the Message field must be numerical. The default and recommended value is the unique ID code for the selected event. The first number of the ID code identifies the event's severity level:
- Click OK to save your changes and exit the dialog box.
Note:
APC recommends that you configure paging only for code 3
(severe problem) events. See Events with Their ID Codes, Severity, and UPS Support.
