The configuration Forms for Pager items (Pager Services and Pager Channels) contain a combination of common and item-specific tabs.
The common tabs are available on the Forms for many types of database item:
- Identification—Use to define a Help View and to indicate whether the Pager item is to be excluded from any Exclusive Control activity (see Defining Identification Details in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Configuration).
- User Methods—Use to define any custom pick actions ('methods') for an item (see Using the User Methods Tab to Define Custom Actions in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Configuration).
- Alarm—Use to define optional features associated with alarms (see Defining an Item or Group’s Alarm Properties in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Configuration).
- Redirection—Use to define any alarm redirections for the item (see Configure Alarm Redirections for an Item or Group in the ClearSCADA Guide to Alarm Redirection).
The item-specific tabs contain properties that are specific to the Pager Service or Pager Channel:
- Channel—Use to define the physical connection properties (see Configuring a Pager Channel).
- <Pager> Service—Use to define the properties of the protocol to be used (see Configuring a Pager Service). The name of the <Pager> Service tab varies according to the type of Pager Service. For example, the <Pager> Service tab for an SMS Pager Service is named SMS Service.
