ISDN PRI Monitoring and Alerting

[trilogy8]

Is it possible to monitor and alert when a PRI goes offline? D or B channels?

Not that I know as it will only generate a warning, should generate an minor alarm if you ask me then you could program a button on your phone for a major or minor alarms.

You can use SNMP. In this example we're grabbing the status of trunk group 50 member 1.

** FAIL: Trunk 50/1 01D04: (1.3.6.1.4.1.6889.2.73.8.1.26.3.1.5.50.1)
[Current: maint-NE/idle] Does not contain [in-service]

This is from IPSentry, but there are lots of tools out there. I only look for the first B channel of each PRI, in my experience when a PRI has trouble all the B channels are dead, haven't seen random B channels fail by themselves.

I've always had Avaya Site Admin set up to run the Monitor Trunks function on a machine that will email us if trunks are down. You could set it up on a cheap windows box or windows server and have the monitor trunks job run every hour. Not exactly ideal but it's what we've done for 10 years.
