The server has an SNMP trap manager that collects traps from:

• Uploads and downloads to media modules

• VoIP media modules

• VoIP engines on media gateway motherboards

• Media gateway-associated UPS systems

Server alarms perform a similar role to Communication Manager alarms in a traditional telephony context. Server alarms:

• Comprise related sets of alarms

• Create an internal record of actual or potential problems

• Notify maintenance personnel of a problem

• Help isolate the source of the problem

• Point to and facilitate local and remote resolution of a problem
