S8700 Alarm Steps 2

[telcomwork]

Are the following steps correct for enabling and configuring alarm notification/call?

1. Setup Alarm Enable

"almenable -d b" (sets dial-out for both numbers)

2. Setup Alarm Call

"almcall -f xxxxxxxxxx -a y"
"almcall -s xxxxxxxxxx -a y"

Look at:

After setting up the S8700 accordingly, issue the "testinads" command from the bash prompt and then disconnect the PPP connection as soon as possible.

I'm asuming you can't use your ASA login to modify the Linux Bash? I have ot go in with SA, Cust or Craft?

 

[Dunstan]

No you can use your ASA login. If enabled just type "go shell" from terminal emulation (not Gedi) and your in business.

Is there anyway to setup alarm notification to say a pager via the Web GUI?
