Dial Page Alerting

Dial page alerting operates using an external modem connected to the system’s onboard EMP
serial connection on COM2. With dial paging, the system can be configured to automatically dial
up a paging service when a platform event occurs. Dial page alerting is an alert type supported
by Platform Event Filtering (PEF). A dial page alert can be initiated by the arrival of an event
that triggers the PEF Dial Page action or it can be initiated by an Alert Immediate command with
appropriate parameters.

The following Dial Page resource sizes are platform-specific. Refer to the platform BMC EPS for
their values.
