Chapter 6 Alarm Surveillance
Configuration Tasks for Alarm Notifications
Configuring User Email Alerts
The email facility works in conjunction with SNMP traps to notify registered users of alarms or
significant events in the MGX 8260 Media Gateway. A system administrator can register up to ten users
for email notifications and up to twenty trap events for each user. Upon occurrence of an event, the
system sends an email to all registered users that contains alarm or event details and related system
information.
To use email alerts, follow these steps:
Step 1 Register the domain name and IP address of your existing email server.
Step 2 Register the trap events you want users to receive. For more information, see“Working With Traps”
section on page 6-30.
Registering the Email Server
To configure the email server and source email address, follow these steps:
Step 1 Enter the email server command, chem, as described in the “chem” section on page 9-68.
For example, Cisco Systems could set the email server as follows:
chem cisco.com 10.1.1.1 [e-mail]
Step 2 Confirm your settings using the lsem command.
The system lists the email server information.
Registering Email Alerts
To register email traps, follow these steps:
Step 1 Identify an unused index number using the lseregs command.
Step 2 Add a user and trap registrations using the addereg command as specified in the “addereg” section on
page 9-17.
For more information, refer to the section in this chapter pertaining to the alarm you want to add.
The following example registers user 1 for major shelf and EMM alarms:
addereg 1 [e-mail] 1000 1800
Step 3 Check the entry, using the lsereg command.
The system displays registration details.
