TOPS VSN Log and alarm messages

Logs and Alarms are collected for TOPS Voice Service Node (VSN) using the
log and alarm subsystem installed in base TOPS VSN software.  The same
subsystem is responsible for creating log and alarm reports.  These are stored
temporarily on the TOPS VSN and can be sent to a printer or to a terminal for
continuous display.  TOPS VSN uses a dedicated printer to report its log
messages.

Predefined log and alarm configuration datafill is delivered to the operating
company as part of the TOPS VSN installation tapes.

A typical TOPS VSN log or alarm message is shown below in figure 1-1.  Its
identifying information is printed on one or two lines, and is followed by the
message.
