ous users. See Section17 (Web Browser Interface) for more infor-

mation.

E-Mail Notification

Introduced in version 3.5 is alarm notification via E-mail. E-mail

notification setup is very similar to pager carrier setup. Each pager

carrier can be given an e-mail address as well as a pager number.

Response options also allow the e-mail recipient to reply to

T/MonXM and acknowledge or Tag alarms via e-mail.

Ping Interrogator

Besides monitoring your Telecom network, T/MonXM can now act

as a check on your LAN and network equipment. The Ping

Interrogator can be used to ping and IP aware device, i.e. servers,

routing equipment, etc. It is a low level device check, simply noting

if a device is present or not based on its response or lack of

response to a ping.

Optional features may be added to T/MonXM by installing software

modules. The software modules provide instant access to upgrade

features. These modules are briefly described below. See the DPS

Catalog for the latest software modules available. Call DPS

if you don’t see a feature or module

that fits your needs. The software modules that are discussed in

detail in the Software Modules section at the back of the manual are

indicated next to each title by the page number they begin on..

Alarm Windows Module

This installable option allows the basic 90 alarm windows (89 plus

an All Alarm window), to be expanded up to 179, 329 or 719 alarm

windows plus an All Alarm window. The number of alarm windows

available is dependent on whether the 90, 240 or 690 Alarm

Windows modules have been installed. Multiple Alarm Windows

modules may be installed, up to the 720 alarm windows limit.

Each window can have a verbal description assigned. When a win-

dow has an alarm, the window changes color to indicate the level of

the alarm and the window name flashes. The operator can place the

highlight box around the window and press F3 to move to the COS

screen or press F4 to move to the standing alarm screen. The Alarm

Windows modules provide flexibility in the assignment of equip-

ment to the alarm system.

Alarm Message Forwarding Module

The Alarm Message Forwarding Module allows the user to assign a

alarm window as an ASCII forwarding window. When alarm infor-

mation is reported to this window, it is redirected out one of the

intelligent controller ports in ASCII format. All alarms that are

assigned to the forwarding window will be displayed in that win-

dow. The alarms will also be sent out the selected port in the same

format as they appeared on the screen.

For example, if all of the power related alarms from each central

office are assigned to window #8, window #8 can be set to forward
