Configuring remote alert settings

Note: For the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, the configuring remote alert settings feature is available only when using LAN-based alert functionality.

You can configure remote alert recipients, the number of alert attempts, incidents that trigger remote alerts, and local alerts from the Alerts link on the navigation pane.

After you configure a remote alert recipient, the Remote Supervisor Adapter II will send an alert to that recipient. The alert is sent through a serial connection or a network connection, a numeric pager, or an alphanumeric pager when any event selected from the Monitored Alerts group occurs. This alert contains information about the nature of the event, the time and date of the event, and the name of the system that generated the alert.

The Remote Supervisor Adapter II offers alert redundancy for several managed systems at the same location. It sends alerts only once per connection type, even when there is more than one active LAN or serial connection. However, if one connection device fails, all other interconnected devices route the alerts to the next available connection.

Notes:

1.If the SNMP Agent or SNMP Traps fields are not set to Enabled, no SNMP traps are sent. For information about these fields, see “Configuring SNMP” on page 43.
