Media Server alarms

A Linux-based Media Server (internal or external) is configured so that it serves as the trap
collector and provides external alarm notification.
A process called the Global Maintenance Manager (GMM) runs on the Media Server and
collects events that are logged to the Linux syslog_d process. These events consist primarily of
failure notification events logged by Avaya Communication Manager and INTUITY maintenance
subsystems. For events that require external notification, the most basic choice is to call the
Avaya technical service center's INADS (Initialization and Administration System). However,
other possible methods are sending an e-mail and/or page to specified destinations and
sending an SNMP trap to a specified network management station.
The Media Server also has an SNMP trap manager that collects traps from:
