with the requirement.

Configuring remote alert settings
Note: For the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, the configuring remote alert
settings feature is available only when using LAN-based alert functionality.
You can configure remote alert recipients, the number of alert attempts, incidents
that trigger remote alerts, and local alerts from the Alerts link on the navigation
pane.
After you configure a remote alert recipient, the Remote Supervisor Adapter II will
send an alert to that recipient. The alert is sent through a serial connection or a
network connection, a numeric pager, or an alphanumeric pager when any event
selected from the Monitored Alerts group occurs. This alert contains information
about the nature of the event, the time and date of the event, and the name of the
system that generated the alert.
The Remote Supervisor Adapter II offers alert redundancy for several managed
systems at the same location. It sends alerts only once per connection type, even
when there is more than one active LAN or serial connection. However, if one
connection device fails, all other interconnected devices route the alerts to the next
available connection.
Notes:
1. If the SNMP Agent or SNMP Traps fields are not set to Enabled, no SNMP
traps are sent. For information about these fields, see “Configuring SNMP” on
page 43.
