Alarms over console port

[k4fh]

I'm working on a project where a friend has a few MD110's and would like to attach an alarming device to the console port. I'm clueless about this PBX. I normally work on Nortel gear. Can anyone tell me if the PBX will send out alarms when there are failures like PRI or T1? Does it do this automatically or do I need to write a script that will take over the console, login, execute a command to list alarms, parse the output, and logout?

Thanks,
Chris

you have several options,

- as you stated: login, fetch alarms and logout.
- with an AAU2 board you can send the alarms via SNMP trap.
- the best option - you can program a console port to output the alarms spontaneously :
for example:
ALAPI:IODEV=<name of console>, cla=3&4;
will output alarms of class 3 and 4.
check the name of your console port with IODDP;
check the spontaneous printout programming with ALDIP;

Cheers,
