Irssi - making it beep when your nick is mentioned

Irssi by default will highlight your nickname, but that actually requires you to be looking at the screen. I wanted to make irssi beep when someone mentioned my nick, so that I didn't have to actively monitor the tab in konsole. Here's how to do it. /set bell_beeps ON /set beep_msg_level MSGS NOTICES DCC DCCMSGS HILIGHT

The correct syntax is
/set bell_beeps = ON

Actually, in my irssi client, the syntax mentioned in the original post is correct. Yours gives an error.
