AS/NZS 4152.7:1993

Establishes user requirements for the service definition needed to support the security alarm reporting function, defines the service and specifies the protocol provided by such a function. The relationship between the service and managements notification is defined together with the relationships with other systems management functions. The conformance requirements are specified. This Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from ISO/IEC 10164-7:1992.

This Recommendation International Standard defines the security alarm reporting function. The security alarm reporting function is a systems management function which may be used by an application process in a centralized or decentralized management environment to exchange information for the purpose of systems management, as defined by CCITT Rec. X.700 ISO/IEC 7498-4. This Recommendation International Standard is positioned in the application layer of CCITT Rec. X.200 ISO 7498 and is defined according to the model provided by ISO/IEC 9545. The role of systems management functions is described by CCITT Rec. X.701 ISO/IEC 10040. The security alarm notifications defined by this systems management function provide information regarding operational condition and quality of service, pertaining to security.Security-related events are of relevance to the provision of security. The security policy determines the actions to be undertaken whenever a security-related event has occured. The security policy may, for example, specify that a security alarm report be generated, a record of the event be made in a security audit trail, a threshold counter be incremented, the event be ignored, or a combination of these actions be taken. This Recommendation International Standard is only concerned with security alarm reporting.This Recommendation International Standard- establishes user requirements for the service definition needed to support the security alarm reporting function;- defines the service provided by the security alarm reporting function; - specifies the protocol that is necessary in order to provide the service; - defines the relationship between the service and management notifications; - defines relationships with other systems management functions; - specifies conformance requirements.This Recommendation International Standard does not- define the nature of any implementation intended to provide the security alarm reporting function;- specify the manner in which management is accomplished by the user of the security alarm reporting function;- define the nature of any interactions which result in the use of the security alarm reporting function;- specify the services necessary for the establishment, normal and abnormal release of a management association;- define any other notifications, defined by other Recommendations International Standards, which may be of interest to a security administrator.
