Fault Management
Fault Management allows you to manage a DEFINITY G3 PBX as a node on
your network similar to other devices on your network. Fault Management
receives PBX data via your network management system (NMS).
The NMS receives the PBX data from the G3 Proxy Agent. The purpose of
the Proxy Agent is to receive PBX data and to translate that data, which is in
DEFINITY’s OSSI (Operating Support System Interface) format, to the
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) format required by the NMS.
In addition, the Proxy Agent receives alarms data from the PBX and
translates that data into SNMP. It also provides administrative access to
the PBX.
With the PBX data available to the NMS, you can see alarm conditions on
any PBX that is a node on your NMS exactly as with other devices. From the
node map you can execute Fault Management to get data on the PBX.
Fault Management provides a graphical interface to that information, so that
you can quickly see where on a PBX fault conditions exist and display
reports about those fault conditions.
Standard Network Management Components
The standard SNMP-based management system consists of the following:
■
An object or objects to be managed, in this case one or more DEFINITY
G3 PBXs
■
An agent for managing the object(s)
It is the agent that communicates all management command responses
and information between the managed object and the NMS. The agent
can be implemented as part of the managed object, in which case it is
known as a native agent, or it can be implemented on a separate
computer, in which case it is known as a proxy agent. For DEFINITY G3
objects, the agent is a proxy agent because it is not built into the
DEFINITY G3 PBXs. Typically, there is one agent for each managed
object. However, the DEFINITY G3 Proxy Agent can support up to a
