- Send alarms using Select whether you want to send alarms using None, SNMP or INADS.
- None (Default) Select so that no alarm notifications are sent out. You can still, however, view alarm logs on the MAS.
|
Note:
These fields in the tab are then grayed out: Suppress alarm notifications, Send notifications when all alarms are cleared, Send alarm at this level or higher, and Product identifier.
|
|
- SNMP Select to send Alarm traps to a network management station using SNMP.
Notes:
- It is your responsibility to provide and provision your SNMP network management station and configure it to receive the traps from the MAS
|
- INADS Select to use the INADS tool to send alarm notifications to an alarm collection server for analysis and corrective action.
.
- Suppress alarm notifications (Default Off) Select to temporarily suppress alarm notifications.
You would typically select this, if you are engaged in maintenance and/or repair activities that will result in the generation of additional alarms and errors. In this situation, be sure to remember to clear this check box when you are finished, otherwise alarm notifications will not resume.
- Send notification when all alarms are cleared (Default On) Select to be notified when all alarms on the system are corrected and cleared.
- Send alarm at this level or higher: Select the level at which alarm notifications are sent out:
- Minor (Default) Both minor and major alarm notifications are sent out.
- Major Only major alarm notifications are sent out.
- Product identifier Enter the unique 10-digit number used to identify your particular Modular Messaging system. It is assigned at system installation. This may also be set to NULL.
- When stopping the MAS service This section determines how the system will behave, when the MAS service is being stopped:
- Wait for ports to become idle Select to allow ports that are in use to become idle before being taken offline. As ports become idle, then they are taken offline. This allows for a more graceful shutdown of the system and should be used whenever possible.
|
Note:
When this option is selected, if the system tries to stop MAS service, it waits until all ports are idle. As a result, some length of time may pass before service is actually stopped. During this period, while ports are becoming idle, your Windows operating system may display a timeout error 1053. Ignore this error. The stopping process is unaffected by this message and MAS service will stop according to the parameters you have set.
|
|
This option activates the Wait indefinitely and Wait for (minutes) options.
- Wait indefinitely Select so that the system will wait until all ports are idle before shutting down the MAS service. If possible, this is the most desirable option, as it allows all ports to be taken offline naturally, with no interruption of service for the user.
- Wait for (minutes) (Default) Select to set the number of minutes that the system will wait before breaking port connections and shutting down, whether ports are in use or not. In this case, ports that become idle within the time limit are taken offline, but ports that are still busy at the end of the time limit are forcibly taken offline.
Enter the number of minutes in the field to the right. The default is 10.
- Stop immediately (Default) Selecting this option causes all ports that are in use, when the MAS service is being stopped, to immediately be taken offline. This should only be used as a last resort, as it interrupts any calls that may be in progress.
