NOTE
Call Home is supported on Windows systems for all modem and E-mail call home centers and is
supported on Linux and Solaris for the E-mail call home centers.
Call Home notification allows you to configure the Management application Server to automatically
send an e-mail or dial-in to a support center to report system problems on specified devices
(switches, routers, and directors). If you are upgrading from a previous release, all of your Call
Home settings are preserved.
Call Home supports multiple call home centers which allows you to configure different devices to
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.
You can configure Call Home for the following call home centers:

call home event trigger is fired. When a call home event trigger occurs, the Management
application generates the following actions:
