Monitoring Alarms from the Cisco WebViewer

The Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateway notifies maintenance or operations personnel about equipment

alarms at several levels:

• Shelf

• Card

• Line

You can view the event log for notices about changes in the system. For example, inserting a new card

adds an event to the log.

The WebViewer displays the most severe alarm in the upper right corner of every screen (see

Figure 6-4).
