Extended System Monitor (XSM) on a CS 1000 system works as follows:
  • The CS 1000 system uses MGC-XPEC.
  • The serial connection to the XSM modules uses the MGC remote TTY feature.
  • The remote TTY feature passes the serial data to the call server through a MGC. The MGC does not have any configuration to process the XSM messages.
On a CS 1000 large system, you must program the XSM interface as a remote TTY on overlay 17. To check the status of XSM on the CS 1000 system, you must put overlay 37 into the background routines or the nightly routine.
XSM on a Device Adapter works as follows:
  • Device Adapter does not support remote TTY feature, so MGC-XPEC supports XSM feature but the call server does not support the XSM feature.
  • Device Adapter does not support any configuration of MGC-XPEC.
  • When you reboot MGC-XPEC, it checks if an XSM device is present. If the device is present, MGC-XPE prints an info message and then automatically starts a background audit.
    MGC-XPEC checks the status of the XSM device every hour by sending a query. When the XSM device responds, Device Adapter receives an SNMP trap and forwards the SNMP trap to System Manager.
  • If the XSM device is not present, MGC-XPEC prints an error message and disables all XSM functionality on the XSM card.
Note:
  • To add any other XSM device to MGC-XPEC later, you must reboot the MGC.
  • The functionality of the XSM feature on Device Adapter and CS 1000 is the same.
