Common Options

The following configuration options are common to most devices:

Device name: Used for device identification on Mitel Performance Analytics dashboards.

Probe: Probed used to monitor the device.

Description field: Descriptive text that is displayed in the Device Information panel.

IP address: Used to communicate with the device.

Fault and performance monitoring: Enables monitoring by Mitel Performance Analytics.

Ping DSCP: Sets Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) settings so that Ping packets more closely mimic real VoIP traffic. You can choose from Best Effort (0), High Priority (46), or a variety of Assured Forwarding (AF) or Class Selector (CS) settings.

SNMP configuration: Used to gather event data from the device. See "SNMP Configuration".

Interface filters: Used to focus or clarify data about the device interfaces. See "Interface Filter Configuration".

Maintenance mode: While in maintenance mode, Mitel Performance Analytics provides only minimal monitoring of the device. This setting is useful to isolate a device with known issues so its alarms do not clutter the monitoring data of the rest of the network. It is also possible to schedule ongoing maintenance for one or multiple devices. See "Scheduling Device Maintenance".

Device Message: Settings for a message banner that appears on the device dashboard. Users can specify the banner color, message title, and message text.
