First, check /usr/OV/log/nvpagerd.alog and errlog for error messages.  That
number 8008797632 should have a "1" in front of it, shouldn't it?   If you see
no error messages, then check that  nvpagerd is still running.   Do you have the
right tty specified in nvpager.conf?

You can trace what the pager does by adding -d in the ovsuf file.  You can do
that more permanently by editting the lrf file and using ovdelobj and then
ovaddobj, or by using the Framework configuration menu.  You can even ovstop
nvpagerd, and run him in a separate window with just  " /usr/OV/bin/nvpagerd -d"
and issue your pages in another window.  The logs will still fill with trace
messages.

Subject:  Modem Configuration For Paging




I am using Netview v5.1 and trying to get the paging services working
properly. I setup a USRobotics 56.k modem on my ultra 10 running Solaris 2.6
and tested it's functionality using the 'tip' command. This all worked fine.
When I try to test paging functions with Netview, it doesn't work. I am
using the command 'nvpage' for testing purposes. I also configured
nvpager.conf to use the following ::newhayes.modem, 8,1,N. When I execute
the command 'nvpage 8008797632 911' I get the message that it was queued. I
never see the modem go off hook and I never get a page. Does anyone have any
ideas as to what the problem could be? Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave Clay        UPS
