Alarm Management Function

Definition

This management function is a calling function. It makes it possible to distribute alarm messages to a specified subscriber (e.g., network management system) when certain outstanding events occur.

Operation

The operator can configure:

the alarms of the outstanding events,
the list of addresses of the alarm messages.

On or more backup subscribers can also be configured.

If the main subscriber and the backup subscribers are unavailable, alarm messages are destroyed.

When the alarm function distributes a message, a virtual circuit with the subscriber is established. At the end of an inactivity time-out to configure in C24.R0.P32, the alarm function clears the virtual circuit.
