Remote Diagnostics Using Remote Management
Where a 9500 MXC is network managed under and EMS or NMS, use the
features available to view indications of:
• Alarm severity
• Nature/type of alarm
• Which services are affected
• Which paths or devices should be checked in detail
Only where it is not possible to see a network beyond a full break, and therefore
not possible to see the far end of a link, does it become less certain as to which
site carries the faulty equipment, or if it is an equipment fault as distinct from a
full path fade. However, by looking at the event browser prior to the fault it may
be possible to narrow down the options.
