Configuration Options
C-25 3162-A2-GB20-40 August 2000
Table C-11. Alarm and Trap Configuration Options (2 of 2)
Call Retry: Disable
Enable Disable
Determines whether a call that cannot complete (busy, no answer, etc.) is retried. This
affects calls that are initiated in attempting to send an alarm or trap message to the
external communication port device. If call retry is specified, the DSU/CSU attempts to
complete the call after a configurable delay.
Enable – 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 up to five times.
Disable – Disables call retry. If a call setup cannot be completed it is not retried.
NOTE: This configuration option is only available if the communication port is
enabled for an external device.
Dial Out Delay Time (min): 5
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Specifies the number of minutes to wait between successive dial-out alarms or traps
and between retry attempts after failed alarm dial-outs.
NOTE: This configuration option is only available if the communication port is
enabled for an external device.
Alternate Dial-Out Directory: None
None 1 2 3 4 5
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 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 is not completed at the alternate number, 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 attempted.
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: This configuration option is only available if the communication port is
enabled for an external device.
