The Configure Call Home Center dialog box displays.

3. Select the center you want to check in the Call Home Centers list.

NOTE

You must configure the call home center before you test the connection. To configure a call

home center, refer to “Editing a call home center” on page 78.

5. Click Send Test.

A faked event is generated and sent to the selected call home center. You must contact the call

home center to verify that the event was received and in the correct format.

Disabling a call home center

When a call home center is disabled, no devices can send call home events to the call home center.

However, the devices and event filters assigned to the disabled call home center are not removed.

You can still perform the following actions on a disabled call home center:

• Edit call home center configuration.

• Add devices and event filters to the call home center.

To disable a call home center, complete the following steps.

1. Select Monitor > Event Notification > Call Home.

The Call Home dialog box displays.

2. Clear the Enable check box of the call home center you want to disable in the Call Home

Centers table.

The selected call home center and its devices and event filters become grayed out. However,

the call home center is not actually disabled until you save your changes. When a device is

assigned to the call home center, a confirmation message displays.

3. Click OK to confirm.

4. Click OK to close the Call Home dialog box.
