Information About Call Home Chapter 7 Configuring Call Home The Call Home feature can deliver alerts to multiple recipients, referred to as Call Home destination profiles, each with configurable message formats and content categories. A predefined destination profile (CiscoTAC-1) is provided, and you also can define your own destination profiles. The CiscoTAC-1 profile is used to send alerts to the backend server of the Smart Call Home service, which can be used to create service requests to the Cisco TAC (depending on the Smart Call Home service support in place for your device and the severity of the alert). Flexible message delivery and format options make it easy to integrate specific support requirements.
