Why Should You Access the Proxy
Agent?
Fault Management provides you with the ability to telnet to the Proxy Agent
computer and thereby have access to the Proxy Agent. There are two
general reasons why you need this kind of interface access:
To administer the Proxy Agent, administer client and manager
information, and administer alarm forwarding
To use enhanced cut through in order to conduct PBX maintenance and
administration, especially for a case in which you recognize alarm
conditions that need personal attention
Fault Management provides telnet access to the Proxy Agent so that you do
not need to physically be at the Proxy Agent computer to make these kinds
of administrative changes.
