Intel® Telco Alarms Manager 2.3 IntroductionAppendix A: Glossary
Revision 1.7 5
1. Introduction
Telco Alarms Manager (TAM) is a set of telecom server software components designed to
manage the alarms state of the server and indicate health status via the local Telco Alarm
Panel (TAP) in the front of the server as well as remotely via dry contact relays in the rear of the
server. The TAM Service is the primary service that runs and receives alarm requests from
multiple entities, such as the TAM Event Listener, Intel® System Management Software (ISMS)
(formerly Intel® Server Management, abbreviated as ISM), and other applications which have
registered with TAM.
Additionally, the Telco Alarms Manager delivers several APIs that permit direct access to the
TAP (Telco Alarms Panel). Application developers who wish to manage the alarms state from
within their application can do so by using these APIs which bypass the TAM Service’s
management of the state machine.
