Print Alerts: Select the check box if you want NMS to spool alerts to a file
and print them on a regular basis.
Use the number range fields to select the number of alerts you want printed
per page (Default = 55) and the number of hours between alert printouts
(Default = 24).
The system prints when the selected number of alerts is reached, or
according to the time interval you select even if the number of reported alerts
is fewer than specified for a page. To obtain a printed copy of each alert as it
occurs, set the page length to 1.
NOTE:
The Collect Event History option is detailed in the COMSPHERE 6700
Series Network Management System Security Manager Feature
Supplement .
Use 48 Colors: Select the check box if you want NMS to use up to 48
system colors. Use the System Colors command on the System cascading
menu to select the specific colors you want NMS to use.
NOTE:
If your hardware will not handle 48 colors and you check this box, your
colors will bleed together. In this case, you can unselect the box without
adverse effects.
Sort Telephone by Comments: Select this check box if you want to sort
telephone numbers by comments. If you do not check this box, the numbers
in the Dial application are sorted by telephone number.
Enter a character in the Telephone Separator field to use between the
telephone comment and the telephone number. The default is |.
Collect Call Statistics: Select the check box if you want NMS to record call
statistics information. You can process the data that NMS collects by using
the Call Statistics functions. (See Chapter 6,
Statistics .)
Use the number range fields to select the number of days to keep active call
statistics records (default = 30 days) and the number of months to keep
summary statistical records (default = 13 months).
User File Name: Select the check box if you want to record call statistics to a
file that can be used by applications other than NMS. Also, you can repost
statistical data into the database using the ASCII statistical file that you
identify here.
Enter the name of the file to be used to store the call statistics in the User
File Name field. This file will be written to the directory assigned to the
DBDIR environment variable contained in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Enter a character in the Field Separator field to be used between fields of
the call statistics file. A carriage return always terminates a record.
NOTE:
If you use this feature, you need 80 bytes of disk space per call.
