# Enable Alarm Management

You can configure the system to send alarm notifications (traps) to an SNMP agent or an email account. You can also specify whether a notification is generated for each alarm, for all alarms of a particular type (Information, Warning, etc.), or for all alarms together. The first option results in the most notifications; the last option results in the fewest notifications.

Notes:

- Alarm management emails received in the Outlook environment may not have the proper heading format because the "Auto Remove Line Breaks" feature in Outlook is enabled. To correct this problem, search for article # 287816 at http://support.microsoft.com/.

- If you enable SNMP Notification, you must configure the SNMP service on the Mitel Standard Linux (MSL) server. For instructions, see Configure SNMP on MSL. For additional information, refer to the Mitel Standard Linux Installation and Administration Guide .
