To create a GSM modem action in Device ManageR, you must have the Dial Out Plugin Bundle<\/em>\u00a0installed. If your organization has a service plan at the Professional level or higher, you may download it from your account at RoomAlert.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To set up a GSM modem action in Device ManageR, follow these steps:<\/p>\n

1. Open Device ManageR in your web browser. You may open it by entering ‘localhost:8080’ or ‘<IP address of Device ManageR’s host system>:8080’ in your browser’s address bar.<\/p>\n

2. Select Alerts \/ Tasks<\/strong> in the navigation bar to the left.<\/p>\n

3. In the Settings<\/em> menu, select Actions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

4. Select Add<\/strong> at the bottom of the screen to open the Add New Action<\/em> window.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5. In the Add New Action<\/em> window, enter a name for the action in Name<\/strong>. In our example, we’ve called the action ‘Send GSM text to IT Mgr.’<\/p>\n

6. (Optional)<\/em> In Description<\/em>, you may, if you wish, enter any notes you feel would be helpful.<\/p>\n

7. In Action Type<\/em>, select the action you wish to execute from the drop-down list. Once you make your selection, options unique to that action will appear.<\/p>\n

– In Action Type<\/em>, select Send Alert Via GSM<\/strong> from the drop-down list. The unique options for this action type are the Contact and Message fields.<\/p>\n

– In Contact<\/em>, select a contact that has a phone number entered in the GSM (SMS) Settings<\/em> field of their contact record. An example is shown below:<\/p>\n

\"ADM_Contact_GSM_Number(1)\"<\/p>\n

– In Message<\/em>, you may leave the default message or edit it. The default message is shown in the screenshot below.<\/p>\n

To edit the message, put your cursor in the Message field. You may edit the text and insert new keywords by selecting the Click to\u00a0Insert a Keyword<\/strong> button.<\/em><\/p>\n

8. In If not successful, retry this Action<\/em>, you may leave the default, 0, or enter a higher number.<\/p>\n

9. (Optional)<\/em> If you wish, you may associate a schedule with this action by selecting Optional Schedule<\/strong> and choosing a schedule from the drop-down list. (If you attach a schedule to the action, it can be performed only during the hours you’ve set up in the Optional Schedule.)<\/p>\n

10. Then select Save<\/strong> to save the action.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

11. Once you’ve saved, your action will appear in your Actions<\/em> list.<\/p>\n

You may now associate this action with an Action \/ Notification List. Please see this FAQ for more information: How To Configure Action \/ Notification Lists In Device ManageR<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
