Table C-8. Alarm Configuration Options (3 of 4)
Call Retry: Disab
Next Enab Disab Prev
Call Retry on Alarm or Trap. Determines whether a call that cannot be completed (busy,
no answer, etc.) is retried. This affects calls that are initiated in attempting to send an
alarm or trap message to the modem port or carrier external communication port device.
If call retry is specified, the DSU/CSU attempts to complete the call after a configurable
delay.
Enab – Enables call retry. If enabled, the call is retried once per alarm or trap message.
A delay as specified by the dial-out delay time is imposed between call attempts. If an
alternate dial-out directory is specified, both the alarm directory as well as the alternate
directory are retried once.
Disab – Disables call retry. If a call setup cannot be completed it is not retried.
NOTE: For carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs, this configuration option is only available if
the communication port is enabled for an external device.
Dial Delay: 5
Next 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Prev
Dial Out Delay Time on Alarm or Trap. Specifies the number of minutes to wait between
successive dial-out alarms or traps and before a retry attempt after failed alarm
dial-outs. The factory default is 5 minutes.
NOTE: For carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs, this configuration option is only available if
the communication port is enabled for an external device.
AltDialDir: None
Next None 1 2 3 4 5 Prev
Alternate Dial-Out Directory for Alarm or Trap. Specifies whether a call that cannot be
completed (busy, no answer, etc.) is retried using an alternate phone number. This
affects calls that are initiated in an attempt to send an alarm or trap message to the
modem port or carrier external communication port device. The alternate phone number
to try is contained in one of the five call directories. If call retry is enabled, the initial call
is retried at the original number once before a call attempt to the alternate number is
tried. If the call to the alternate number is unsuccessful, it is also retried once. The
alternate dial-out option applies to each alarm/trap event. Once a call for an alarm/trap
message either completes or fails all retry attempts, the next alarm/trap attempts to
establish a call to the phone number contained in the alarm directory.
None – Specifies that alternate alarm dial-out is not performed if a call cannot be
completed to the telephone number contained in the alarm directory.
1–5 – Specifies the call directory that contains the phone number to call if a call cannot
be completed to the telephone number contained in the alarm directory.
NOTE: For carrier-mounted DSU/CSUs, this configuration option is only available if
the communication port is enabled for an external device.
