tray, even when Avaya EAC Tray Monitor is installed and running on the system. This
feature works on registry settings on desktop PCs, so you can modify the registry settings
to change the behavior.
Clickable link in Avaya EAC Agent
The Avaya EAC Agent presents an error message on desktop PCs whenever an SRS rule
fails. This error message is comprised of an SRS rule and an SRS comment. The SRS
comment has clickable links that provide rule-specific locations to download information for
compliance in cases where the user fails to comply. Any text that begins with http:// or https://
automatically transforms to a clickable link.
Recovery from initial check failure
Initial Failure Recovery Mode overcomes many situations that make you stay in restricted
mode of tunnel for long durations. If the Avaya EAC Agent detects SRS FAILURE/UPDATE on
the first check, it goes into Failure Recovery Mode. This mode enables a faster, more frequent
SRS compliance checking by the Avaya EAC Agent. The Avaya EAC Agent does not engage
the SNAS until there is a change in compliance. Once the system falls into compliance, or the
Failure Recovery Mode interval expires, Avaya EAC Agent comes out of Failure Recovery
Mode. The default failure recovery interval is 10 seconds and is configured using Avaya EAC
Agent properties. The duration of Failure Recovery Mode is the length of the first intra-interval
checking.
