Robot/ALERT provides tools to help you setup and manage message notification.
- Robot/GUIDE, the online assistant, makes it easy to set up and manage your e-mail and paging vendors, devices, and communication jobs.

- Robot/ALERT’s menu system makes it easy to maintain your vendors, devices, and communication jobs.
Fast, Efficient Communication
Communication is fast and efficient because Robot/ALERT helps you you manage message notification by:
- Grouping e-mail and pager messages for a vendor into communication requests
- Queuing requests for the next available communication job
- Scheduling communication jobs for maximum efficiency
- Checking for failed communications at regular intervals
- Recovering failed jobs
Hold or Release Communication Jobs and Devices
Robot/ALERT further assists your with message management tasks by allowing you to control jobs and devices individually.
- Hold or release communication jobs or devices without holding or releasing Robot/ALERT.
- Hold or release a Robot/ALERT communication job as soon as it completes processing using menu options or a command. And, you can restart the job when Robot/ALERT is released.
- Hold or release any device defined to Robot/ALERT using menu options or a command. When you release a device, you can purge its collected messages.
Use Less Hardware—No Need to Dedicate Modems to Vendors
Using the Robot/ALERT communication job concept, you don’t have to dedicate a modem to a vendor. Just define a communication job for each modem you want to use. Your communication jobs work together efficiently—if one is busy, another one takes over and sends the message.
