Configuring Alphanumeric Paging

Traverse can send alphanumeric messages to a TAP/IXO pager using a modem attached to the DGE. Note that each DGE can have one or more locally attached modems, which ensures maximum redundancy and fault tolerance in a distributed environment.

Configuring Traverse for Alphanumeric Paging

1. Edit the <TRAVERSE_HOME>/etc/emerald.xml configuration file on the DGEs and add modem configuration information as described in Modem Configuration, and paging central information for the paging service provider as described in Paging Central Software Configuration.
2. Edit the <TRAVERSE_HOME>/etc/emerald.xml configuration file on the Web Application and copy the paging central information for all the DGEs into this file. This Paging Central list is displayed in the Action Profiles drop down.
3. Create action profiles that use alphanumeric paging as described in Administrator Configured Action Profiles and Thresholds, and assign them to tests that are run by this DGE.
4. Restart the Web Application and the DGE components.
