NOTE
Call Home is supported on Windows systems for all modem and e-mail Call Home centers and is
supported on UNIX for the e-mail Call Home centers.
Call Home notification allows you to configure the Management application server to automatically
send an e-mail alert or dial in to a support center to report system problems on specified devices

contact different Call Home centers. When you make any Call Home configuration changes or a Call
Home event trigger occurs, the Management application generates an entry to the Master Log.
