Alarm reporting options

Last Updated : Dec 09, 2021 |

Avaya’s comprehensive maintenance design includes adjustable Communication Manager parameters to provide you with a suitable level of alarm-reporting information. Contact your Avaya representative to discuss how to set the Alarm Reporting Options form, because the set options command requires the init login level.

Be sure to set the alarm reporting parameters on the Alarm Reporting Options form so that they align with your Avaya maintenance contract. For example, you might want to downgrade Off-board TCP/IP Link Alarms so that they are not reported to the INADS group if you have tools or personnel to help monitor the LAN/WAN across the enterprise.

The first two pages of the form list alarm groups by function and whether or not the alarm originates on- or off-board. The Major and Minor columns can have any of the following values:
  • m(in) - minor alarm (downgrades a major alarm to minor)

  • n(o) - does not report the alarm in the Alarm Log

  • r(eport) - reports the alarm in the Alarm Log

  • w(arning) - downgrades a major or minor alarm to a warning alarm

  • y(es) - reports the alarm in the Alarm Log

    Note:

    You cannot downgrade the major alarms for the following fields: Off-board MASI Link Alarms, Off-board ATM Network Alarms, Off-board Firmware Download Alarms, Off-board Signaling Group Alarms, and Remote Max Alarms.
