The Switch Monitor application monitors the physical IP cable connections between the respective DSC 8000 Ribbon Signaling System and the remote node.
This software application is accessible through the Web UI and provides the following:
Enabling and disabling Ethernet ports may be useful if you do not want to be notified and have an alarm displayed when a particular port has lost connections. For example, if your system is not configured for a failover scenario between ports 20 and 22, you may consider disabling event notification for these ports. Also, if your system is not configured for IMF, you may consider disabling notification for port 23.
For detailed information about a particular port, click the required port under the Port Number heading.
Configure the required attributes.
The Restore Debug Defaults action restores the Switch Monitor logging configurations to their default values and clears the associated logging alarms.
