Alarm Test
The

command tests the alarm callout feature. At the @ prompt, type
TE A
Enter
The message server attempts to call the string configured in System Parameter 31 — ALARM
NUMBER. If successful, the person answering the alarm call hears a message similar to the following:
“Beep-Beep-Beep-Beep. This is an alarm call from message server number 123. Error type O has
occurred. Press star to acknowledge alarm notification or press pound to connect to the modem.”
If not acknowledged, the message server disconnects the call after 1 minute and retries it every 10
minutes, until it is acknowledged (the listener presses
*
).
To log on for remote access, proceed as follows:
1.
Press

The line Beeps for up to 3 minutes, which allows time to connect the modem and the
terminal.
