Warning system monitors all SIP/IAX peers (extensions and trunks) on a PBXware system. In case that peer is unreachable, email notification is sent to administrator(s).
Table 11.14. Warning system
Field | Description | Example | Field Type |

Monitor SIP peers |
PBXware warning system needs to know which of its peers are to be monitored, and when this option is checked system will monitor SIP extensions | Click on checkbox to monitor SIP extensions | Checkbox |
Monitor IAX peers |
If this option is checked, system will monitor IAX extensions | Click on checkbox to monitor IAX extensions | Checkbox |
Monitor Trunks |
When this option is checked system will monitor trunks. NOTE: When monitoring trunks, PBXware will try to dial a test number, provided to Test number field under a trunk. If received signal does not match 'ANSWER', 'BUSY', 'CANCEL' or 'NOANSWER' reply, test call is considered as non functional and it will trigger the warning system to send a notification email. A number that can be used for this instance is an automated time service which many telephone service providers offer for free, for example. |
