System Performance Monitoring
Port Monitor Window
You can use the main Port Monitor window to check and change the status of ports on
the selected MAS.
Notes:
! To use Port Monitor, you must have administrator privileges at a
Windows 2000/2003 level on the MAS, and you must be a member of
the Modular Messaging System Administration ACL. See Security -
System Administration ACL on page 3-62.
! If two administrators attempt to change the status of a port on the same
MAS at the same time, only one change takes effect, and automatically
overrides the other attempt. To avoid this situation, Avaya recommends
that you allocate a single machine for changing port states.
You can disable or enable a port by:
! Making a port unavailable for incoming/outgoing calls. If the port is busy,
this is not done until it is released.
! Forcing the port to be disabled immediately, regardless of the activity.
! Bringing the port on hook to make it available for incoming/outgoing calls
Launching the Application
1. On your Windows desktop, click the Start > Programs > Avaya
Modular Messaging > Port Monitor menu.
2. You are prompted to select an MAS from the Message Application
Servers dialog box. For details on how to select a server, see Message
Application Servers Dialog Box on page 9-3.
3. When you have selected the MAS, the Port Monitor is launched.
Port Monitor Toolbar & Menus
The Port Monitor window has a toolbar, a top menu bar and some right-click menus.
These are available when you select a Port in the grid; they are context sensitive.
You can use these commands to change the MAS and change the status of the port
selected in the grid. See Port Monitor - Disabling/Enabling Ports on page 9-6 and Port
Monitor - Toolbar & Menus on page 9-7.
