Alarm
Table 5-13. Alarm Options (1 of 3)
ASCII Alarm Message
Possible Settings: Com Port, Disable
Default Setting: Disable
Controls the generation and routing of alarm messages to an ASCII terminal or printer
attached to the COM port (either local or remote via an external device).
Com Port – Generates and sends alarm messages to COM port when the Port Use
option is set to Alarm (see Table 5-10).
Disable – Does not generate alarm messages.
Alarm & Trap Dial Out
Possible Settings: Enable, Disable
Default Setting: Disable
Controls whether alarm or SNMP trap messages initiate a call if a connection on the
COM port’s external device has not already been established. If the call is incomplete
and the Call Retry configuration option is set to Enable, the alarm or SNMP trap
message is held until the call completes or the maximum retry count is exceeded. If
more that one alarm message is received while waiting for a call retry, only the highest
priority alarm message received is held; all previous messages are discarded. When the
port is configured as a network communication link, up to 10 SNMP messages are held
(queued) at the interface.
Enable – Automatically calls the phone number contained in the Alarm directory.
Disable – Holds (queues) SNMP trap messages sent to the COM port external device if
the COM port external device was not previously established. Does not hold alarm
messages.
Trap Disconnect
Possible Settings: Enable, Disable
Default Setting: Enable
Determines whether the COM port external device connection is disconnected after
sending an SNMP trap message. This configuration option only applies to COM port
external device connections initiated as a result of sending the SNMP trap message.
Enable – Disconnects the COM port external device call after sending an SNMP trap
message.
Disable – Does not disconnect the COM port external device call after sending an
SNMP trap message and holds the line until it is disconnected manually or by the
remote modem. This enables the NMS to poll the NAM for more information after
receiving the SNMP traps.
