A: Yes. The IMS supports alpha and numeric pagers. When a numeric pager is used, the units telephone number is transmitted to your pager when an alarm event occurs.
Q: Does the IMS use e-mail to send the message to the pager? Top
A: No. Unlike other systems which use e-mail to transmit a message to a pager, the IMS-4000 uses a direct telephone call via the telephone network to dispatch a pager message- either numeric or alpha. This is because the IMS-4000 is designed to ensure you get the message every time-- even if your network egress is in trouble, you'll get the page!
Q: I do not keep my pager turned on when I'm at home. Will I miss a message from the IMS-4000? Top
A: No. If your pager service is a guaranteed-delivery service, you will receive the page when you turn on your pager. However, by using the IMS's integrated scheduling feature, you can instruct the IMS to not call your pager during the evening hours and alternatively, call your home telephone directly! Flexibility. That's the key benefit of the IMS.
