Important:
Perform this task only if you are using a USB modem to report alarms. If you are using SAL
to report alarms, skip this task.
Avaya recommends to use SAL to report alarms. In using a modem to report alarms, it is
not possible to achieve 99.99% availability on an S8800 server in simplex mode since it
cannot detect and report when the server is down. With SAL to report alarms, the server
down condition is detected and it sends out an alarm to notify that the server is down.
For more information about configuring SAL, see Secure Access Link 1.8 SAL Gateway
