Message Print
D. MESSAGE PRINT
8.25 System messages can be printed to give service personnel and Inter-Tel engineers infor-
mation about system status during troubleshooting. You may enable any combination of the
error message types. The available message types are:
• Alarm Messages: Indicate that a minor alarm has occurred, but that general system
operation was not affected.
• Information Messages: Provide information concerning system operation.
• Severe Messages: Indicate that a severe error has occurred in the system.
• Warning Messages: Indicate that a condition exists which may affect system perfor-
mance.
• Network Dump: Provides information concerning network operation.
8.26 The fields you must program to set up message print include the following:
• Output Port
• Local Backup Port
• Message Print Output Active
• Output Device Line Width
• Print Alarm Messages
• Print Information Messages
• Print Severe Messages
• Print Warning Messages
• Print Network Dump
8.27 See FEATURES, page 5-313, or TROUBLESHOOTING, page 7-12, and the Message
Print Diagnostics Manual (part number 550.8018—supplied on the software CD) for more
information regarding system messages and alarms.
8.28 Output Port And Local Backup Port: Each node has its own message print program-
ming, message print output port, and message print output port backup. There should be a mes-
sage print terminal at each node to monitor node and network performance and aid in
troubleshooting.
• If a node’s Message Print output port is a node, the network sends Message Print
records to the specified node.
• You cannot select a node as the backup message print output port.
• If Message Print output programming forms a loop, the system will send the output to
the node’s backup Message Print port. For example, if the Message Print port on Node
1 routes to Node 2 and the Message Print port on Node 2 routes to Node 1, the configu-
ration will cause an infinite loop. Message Print reports for Node 1 would be printed to
the backup serial port on Node 2 and vice versa.
