The system will automatically generate alarms showing system warnings. Alarms are logged to IP Office ContactStore's database and held a month before being purged. The administrator can define specific email addresses for alarms to be automatically forwarded to. The email recipient could be a local system administrator, a manned help-desk and/or supplier's desks if you have a support agreement that includes this facility. The system sends an email message each time an alarm occurs or is cleared. It also sends an email once a day as a 'heartbeat' to let you know that it is still operating. Failure to receive the daily heartbeat message should be investigated; it could indicate that the server has failed.
This appendix lists the alarm conditions that may be reported and offers suggestions for clearing the alarms. The alarms listed are generated by the ContactStore server and reported in the ContactStore System Administration pages and through email. XXX and YYY in the AlarmText column represent a specific parameter, such as a station number, file name, and so on.
