1. Introduction
Collection and printing log and alarm messages
Logs and Alarms are collected for TOPS Voice Service Node (VSN) using the log and alarm subsystem installed in base TOPS VSN software. The same subsystem is responsible for creating log and alarm reports. These are stored temporarily on the TOPS VSN and can be sent to a printer or to a terminal for continuous display. TOPS VSN uses a dedicated printer to report its log messages.
Predefined log and alarm configuration datafill is delivered to the operating company as part of the TOPS VSN installation tapes.
