The OSM Event Viewer is used for Section 4, Monitoring EMS Event Messages.

The OSM Notification Director is used for Monitoring Problem Incident Reports on page 3-12and dialing out information to your service provider.

The OSM Service Connection and the OSM Event Viewer are browser-based applications. Assuming that the OSM Console Tools component has been installed on the system console, the Start menu shortcuts launch a default web page for these two applications. From that page, you can select the system of your choice from the list of bookmarks displayed in the left column of the page (available bookmarks include those that were user-created during previous sessions and those converted automatically from an existing OSM system list). If no bookmarks are available, the web page also contains instructions on how to access these applications by entering a system URL as an Internet Explorer address. The system console-based OSM Console Tools component is not required to use the OSM Service Connection and the OSM Event
