RadioFrame System 

RFN_3.1 Beta

The RFS provides fault alarming and isolation within System Manager for 
individual components, which consists of detecting catastrophic faults that 
prevent an RFS component from responding to a periodic “ping”. Depending on 
the severity, alarms are sent to the OMC via the iSC-3. All alarms passed to the 
OMC use an Alarm Code, such as 39005, which uses the event description 
“Unable to key BR”.  

This section describes: 

• 

How to view alarms in System Manger,  

• 

OMC alarm code and severity levels, and 

• 

System Manager alarms and resolution procedures. 

System Manager displays system-related errors. Only some of these errors are 
sent to the OMC.  

1  To view alarms and other system-related errors in System Manager, select 

the Alarms tab.  

The Alarms Log displays RFS alarms, listed by Time of occurrence 
(including the date), in a sequence of 200 alarms at a time—No. (see the 
following illustration). Approximately 25 alarms are visible at any one time. At 
the bottom of the page, you can see which alarms are currently displayed, in 
this case, 99 through 118 of 118 alarms. 

NOTE:  If the Alarms page is empty, System Manager is still loading the 
page.  

2  To display alarms that have scrolled out of view, select first, prev, next, last 

or all at the bottom of the alarm page, then enter a value in the Show text 
box and press enter.  

For example, to view the first 20 alarms, click first and type 20 in the text box, 
then press Enter. To return to the bottom of the list of alarms, select last and 
type a value in the text box.
