Administering MSS alarm notification

When you activate alarm origination, the system sends notification of alarms that originates on the MSS to a remote location that you specify, such as the remote service center. Modular Messaging supports alarm notification using SNMP, dialing out through a modem to INADS, or sending alarm information to an internet destination using HTTPS.

If you are administering alarm notification using SNMP, use the Configure Alarms page to set up your primary network management station (NMS). If you want to set up additional NMSs to receive alarm notification, see Administering SNMP NMSs for alarms.

To set up alarm management:

  1. Clear all alarms. See Viewing MSS logs for more information.
  2. Insert a labeled, writable DVD-RAM into the DVD drive for the nightly backup.
  3. On the Configure Alarms page, type the Product ID for the system.
  4. Verify that Alarm Suppression is set to INACTIVE.

    Note: You can use the default settings for Alarm Level and Clear Alarm Notification.

  5. Specify the type of alarm notification to use on this system:
    • For INADS alarming, set Alarm Origination to MODEM DIALOUT and continue with Step 6.
    • For SNMP alarming, set Alarm Origination to SNMP and continue with Step 7.
    • For HTTPS alarming, set Alarm Origination to INTERNET and continue with Step 8.
  6. If you selected MODEM DIALOUT in Step 5, in the INADS Destination field, type the alarm destination telephone number, then go to Step 9. Click the field name or Help to see a complete field description.
  7. If you selected SNMP in Step 5, go to Step 9. Then, administer SNMP on the system.
  8. If you selected INTERNET in Step 5, go to Step 9. Then, If necessary, use the Administer HTTPS Proxy Servers page to add a customer HTTPS proxy server or change the Avaya HTTPS destination for alarm notification.
  9. Click Save.
  10. Test MSS Alarm Origination to verify that alarm origination is functioning properly.
