“Yes” account, see below). If the dialer cannot report the event to any of the backup accounts, it
will return to the primary account and repeat the process until it succeeds or an Account Trouble
condition is generated and a local trouble will sound.
Y(es) Can Report. Selecting Y makes this a backup account for this event family. The dialer will report
