5.4 POST STATUS Message
At a regular time interval, the NOC-NEM interface queries each network element
and displays the current status information for that network element. The resulting
unsolicited display is called a
POST STATUS message.
The interval at which
POST STATUS messages are displayed can be specified
by the user for a particular network element or for all network elements. NOC-
NEM also displays a
POST STATUS message whenever an alarm state occurs
on any network element or whenever any network element undergoes a change in
state (for example, from major-alarmed to not alarmed).
The
SET POST command is used to define the time interval at which POST
STATUS
messages are displayed for a network element. The time interval can be
set to zero to turn off the
POST STATUS message.
