Getting info to a pager

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 31 Aug 2005

Q:
We're currently paging ourselves by using our pager's e-mail address, with the SMTP channel. But the process takes a long time (over 15 minutes).

We would like for it to be direct. Are there other channels available, such as SNMP TRAP or a Pager type, so we can page directly to the pager instead of sending an e-mail?

A:
With the SNMP channel, once licensed, it's possible to forward the variable information to a host server. From there, the trap information, can be forwarded to a service that can be paged directly via a modem.
