System Integration

— The severity of the alarm (major, minor, or warning)

Configuration Manager

The configuration manager provides, in a graphical and report format,
information about your PBX, cabinet, and external device configurations. This
information consists of a PBX's hardware and software versions and an inventory
of circuit packs and their locations.
System Integration
The Fault Management application is closely integrated with, and relies heavily
on, two other applications:

DEFINITY G3 Proxy Agent

Your network management system (NMS)
DEFINITY G3 Proxy Agent
Fault Management receives data from the PBX via AT&T's DEFINITY G3 Proxy
Agent, release 1.2 (referred to as the Proxy Agent throughout this guide). The
Proxy Agent and Fault Management are installed on two separate computers.
The purpose of the Proxy Agent is to receive status information from the PBX and
then translate that information into a format that your NMS can understand. That
format is SNMP (Simple Network Management System).

Your Network Management System

Fault Management is an add-on to your network management system (NMS).
Fault Management integrates with your NMS in such a way that Fault
Management must be executed from the NMS.
Both the NMS and Fault Management receive data from the Proxy Agent. The
NMS can display within various views the data that it receives from the Proxy
Agent.
Fault Management can only manage the PBXs that are set up on your NMS. To
have status information available to you via Fault Management, the PBX must be
a node on Fault Management's host NMS platform.
Refer to your OneVision Network Management Solutions DEFINITY G3 Fault
Management Installation and Integration guide and your NMS user guide for
instructions on adding a node.
