EFC Manager application that provides a record of events or error
conditions recorded by the EFC Management Services application.
Entries reflect the status of the application and managed directors
and switches. Information associated with a call-home failure is
intended for use by maintenance personnel to fault isolate the prob-
lem (modem failure, no dial tone, etc.), while information provided in
all other entries is generally intended for use by third-level support
personnel to fault isolate more significant problems. See also EFC
