Modem Manager Alarm and Event Reporting
The Modem Manager maintains the Value parameter of the Modem Tag to indicate overall status. The value may be one of:
| 0 | Idle |
| 1 | Incoming call |
| 2 | Outgoing call |
| 3 | Error |
An alarm may be configured on the Modem tag's value. Configuration of alarm tags on modems is discussed in Modem Tags.
Internal Event Recording
The Modem Manager records events internally at one of four levels of detail. All events may be displayed on-screen using the Modem Tools widget. The default is to display level 0 events only.
- Level 0 events are selected to be meaningful to normal operations personnel.
- All level 0 events are distributed across all machines for display purposes.
- All level 0 events cause an event entry in the system's alarm/event log.
Level 1..3 events are of a diagnostic nature, and it is not recommended that they be displayed on-screen during normal operation.
- Level 1..3 events are only recorded on the workstations on which they occur.
- All Modem Manager events are recorded in the system's "VTSTrace.txt" file if recording of Modem Manager events is enabled.
The level of on-screen display and the size of the on-screen display history are customizable using application properties. For a complete listing of the application properties related to the Modem Manager, please refer to "Application Properties for the Modem Manager".
You can disable the logging of modem manager alarms with the configuration variable ModemAlarm.
