Pager Notification Not Supported with Some Voice Modems

ID: Q153100


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Phone, version 1.0


SYMPTOMS

After you enable the Pager Notification feature in Microsoft Phone, you may not receive pager notification from Microsoft Phone when you receive new messages.


CAUSE

This behavior can occur for either of the following reasons:

  • The Pager Notification feature is not properly enabled or configured.


  • Your voice modem does not support the generation of DTMF codes during a voice call.

    NOTE: Microsoft Phone provides no indication of whether or not your modem supports the generation of DTMF codes during a voice call.



RESOLUTION

To verify that you have properly enabled and configured the Pager Notification feature, follow these steps:

  1. Start Microsoft Phone.


  2. On the Options menu, point to Mailbox Settings, and then click the appropriate mailbox.


  3. Click the Notification tab, and then click the "Notify me when new messages arrive" check box to select it.


  4. In the Number box, type the phone number for your pager.


  5. Click the Pager check box to select it.


  6. In the Pager Message box, type a message to be sent to your pager when you receive new messages.


  7. Configure the When To Notify Me settings the way you want them.


  8. Click OK.


If you still do not receive pager notification when new messages arrive, contact your voice modem's manufacturer to determine whether the voice modem supports the generation of DTMF codes during a voice call. Without this support, Microsoft Phone 1.0 is unable to perform pager notification.

  • Voice modems based on the Cirrus chip set
