Paging Options

The Paging Options dialog box allows you to change paging features of PhoneWatcher.

• You can set paging on or off with the checkbox at the top. Select the number of rings you want before PhoneWatcher begins paging.
• You can set how long to have PhoneWatcher wait after the selected number of rings before calling the pager.
• You can set the pager number to call. Be sure to include prefixes and commas if necessary.
• You can set the number of seconds to wait for messages, etc. before PhoneWatcher enters the data.
• You can optionally set a prefix to be sent to the pager before the caller ID number. This could be used to identify when a page is being sent to you from PhoneWatcher as opposed to another individual or service.
• If your modem supports caller ID, you can send the telephone number that was received during the call to the pager.
• If PhoneWatcher is unable to successfully send out a page, it will keep trying (with intervals the same as the time set to initially send the page) for a select number of times. Use the popup at the bottom to choose how many times to retry.
