Type of feature
Dialout alarming is a base feature
Overview
The dialout alarming feature provides the ability for the system to automatically notify maintenance organizations when predetermined conditions exist. The Avaya IR platform can dial out to at least two predetermined (user administrable) telephone numbers and provide an alarm status. It can also call the Initialization and Administration System (INADS) contact number (not administrable).
Users can also call into the Avaya IR platform to query platform conditions. Connection to a remote session is maintained when the system initiates a dialout alarm. Users can turn off dialout alarming during a remote session. Dialout alarm messages will queue, and the user will be notified that they are being queued. Dialout alarming is re-enabled when the remote session ends. Queued dialout alarm messages are released at that time. Users can clear dialout alarm messages from the queue.
