Virtual Alarms

Virtual Alarms

The Virtual Announcement Media Module faults are managed as Communication Manager alarms. Alarming implementation is similar to S8700 alarming (See "Maintenance for the Avaya S8700 Media Server with the SCC1 or MCC1 Media Gateway, 555-233-143").

In the S8300 Media Server, the Virtual Analog Angel (VAA) represents a messaging board. The VAA is a virtual board on the G700. When the G700 reboots, the VAA senses that it has lost connectivity with the G700, and triggers its "removal and re-insertion". The removal of the VAA causes the AUDIX� ports to go out-of-service and to return back in service when the re-insertion is complete. An alarm of MAJOR severity is generated, indicating loss of connectivity with the G700, which must be cleared manually. Table 9 summarizes this server alarm.
