Name of the provider as shown in the list. The field is only used by MonitorMagic to reference the
provider. You can specify any name, for instance: SMS-provider.
Provider number
The phone number of the provider. The number can contain blanks to wait a little time before
dialing the next number.
Important: The provider number is the phone number called by the MonitorMagic
service when sending a pager - SMS message. If the MonitorMagic needs to dial a
certain number to call an outside line, you will need to change the provider
number. The MonitorMagic service will only 'dial' the provider number.
Provider password
The password used by the provider when a call is setup. This field is rarely used.
Modem configuration
This modem configuration field specifies the modem communication settings.
Important: You should enter these settings in the Connection tab described in
Pager - SMS modem installation and configuration. By convention the following
notation is used: [Number of data bits],[Parity specification],[Stop bits]. Example:
7,e,1.
Protocol
Select the protocol to be used. This should be either UCP, TAP or Text. The protocol defines the
rules used by the MonitorMagic service to communicate with the pager - SMS provider.
General rules
If you do not know the exact provider settings, you can use the following guidelines:
USA: Modem configuration: 7,E,1, protocol: TAP
Europe: Modem configuration: 8,N,!, protocol: UCP or TAP.
Vodaphone, used in Australia and some counties in Europe: Protocol: Text.

As an alarm action, MonitorMagic can send a message to an pager or mobile telephone (SMS).
This is done by using a modem, connected to the server that runs the MonitorMagic service. The
pager - SMS messages are sent by the MonitorMagic service depending on the configured alarm
actions. See Alarm actions overview for more information. To use pager and SMS messaging,
you need to install and configure the modem and specify some settings in MonitorMagic. See
Introduction to pager - SMS and subsequent topics for more information. To configure an pager -
