Emergency alerts take precedence over Normal alerts and 

are not subject to subscriber settings that would prevent 

barge-ins.

This section contains all the distribution lists to which the 

current user may send the alert.

This section allows you to define buttons displayed on 

each page of an alert. Subscribers reading the alert can 

press the buttons defined here to carry out an action.
A button definition consists of a Button Type, Caption 

and Value. The Caption is the text displayed on the 

phone’s screen above the button. A caption can have a 

maximum of 7 characters. The Value has different 

meanings depending on the Button Type.
The number of buttons that can be defined is set in the 

Alert Parameters section of the System Management 

page.
Button Types are as follows:

Dial — When pressed, causes the phone to dial the 

number defined in Value. Not available for Button #1.

URL — When pressed, causes the phone to display a 

Web page.

the external service selected in the Value field. The

Management before it will be available for selection.
