Enabling Call Home
The call-home feature enables the server platform to automatically connect with a support center to report
system problems. The support center server accepts calls from the server platform, logs reported events,
and notifies one or more support center representatives. The default state is disabled. To configure
telephone numbers and other information for the call-home feature, see your HAFM Manual for details.
You must enable call-home event notification through HAFM before enabling this function through the
McDATA Element Manager for the individual switch. At the bottom of HAFM desktop window is an icon
that indicates whether the call-home feature is enabled. An X over the phone icon indicates that the
call-home feature is disabled.
To enable call-home support for system problems, perform the following procedure in McDATA Element
Manager:
1. Select File > HAFM Settings.
2. Select Call Home Support in the pull-down menu to mark the check box. To disable call home support,
select the option to remove the check mark from the check box.

occur on a selected switch. The default state is disabled. E-mail addresses and the simple mail transfer
protocol (SMTP) server address for e-mail notification of director events must be configured through HAFM.
See your HAFM Manual for instructions on configuring e-mail.
