The FTP command is run in the user’s home directory. For FTP users other than root, you must change the default path specified by the NortelSecurityIrpFile property to enable the probe to locate the security IRP file; for example, if the FTP user is norteluser, the home directory for this user will be /home/norteluser. In this case, you must change the default path specified by the NortelSecurityIrpFile property to:
../../opt/nortel/config/3GPP/NortelSecurityIrpAgent.ior
Status checking
The probe checks the status of the IRP agent every 60 seconds. You can change this frequency if required using the Agentheartbeat property.
Retrieving objects
If the Resynch property is set to true, the probe initially receives a list of all active alarms from the AlarmIRP server. The probe then connects to the NotificationIRP server and uses the CORBA notification push model to receive new alarms from the server as they are generated. If the Resynch property is set to false, the probe only receives new alarms.

Running multiple probes
You can run multiple instances of the Probe for Nortel CNM. For each instance running, you must specify a different port to which the server listens using the ORBLocalport property.
Shutting down the probe
To stop an instance of the probe, you must issue a stop signal to the process associated with that probe instance.
Timeout
The Probe for Nortel CNM has a timeout facility that allows it to disconnect from the system if there is no activity for a predefined amount of time. You can specify how long the probe waits before disconnecting using the Timeout property.
