You may add definitions to the Config.txt file for non-Nortel devices; however, you
should not attempt to modify the definitions associated with the Nortel devices provided
in this file.
To view the entire contents of the Config.txt file, see “Configuration file” on page 883
of "Control files included with alarm notification".”
Defining devices in Devices.txt
Scripts
The Devices.txt file contains a list of the devices to be monitored. For each device, list
the device type as it appears in the Config.txt file, followed by the IP address or host
name of the device. You may also include an alias for the device. If an alias is defined
for the device, the device is referenced using the specified alias in the Alarm Notification
application.
Examples:
Meridian1 192.9.200.1
CALL_PILOT sample_cp
Meridian1 192.9.200.2 Toronto_11C
To view the contents of the Devices.txt file, see “Devices file” on page -882 of "Control
files included with alarm notification".”
A script is a container for variables, rules, notifications, and functions. Anything that is
defined within a script is only visible in that script. Variables, rules, notifications, and
functions may also be defined outside of scripts. These are known as global definitions.
Global definitions are available to be used in all scripts. If a definition with the same
name as a global definition exists within a script, the script definition takes precedence
over the global definition for the given script.
At run time, each script is executed in the order in which it is defined.
Example:
script example1 {
}
To skip non-applicable scripts, use the “when” operator. In the following example, the
code declared within example2 only executes if the incoming event is from a device
that is defined as being a Meridian 1.
