G3 Fault Management
OneVision Management Solutions DEFINITY G3 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 OneVision 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.

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
