Mitel 5550 IP Console Alarms, Greetings

Reference ♦ 61

Alarms

Your telephone system uses automatic monitoring and fault diagnosis

to check the system for faults.

An alarm status appearing in the upper-right corner of the screen

notifies you when a fault occurs. When there are no faults, this area

is blank. If a critical alarm occurs, you’ll hear a recurring beep.

The alarm display is cleared automatically when the fault is corrected.

Alarm types

There are three classes of alarms: Minor, Major and Critical.

MINOR

There is a minor alarm within the telephone system, which probably

does not affect the telephone users.

MAJOR

An alarm affecting service has occurred, but calls can still be made.

Contact your communications department.

CRITICAL

The telephone system is not providing normal service and should

automatically switch itself to System Fail Transfer Mode (if this is

available on your system). You MUST contact your communications

department.

Greetings

Record your company’s preferred greetings for each of the following

situations.
