Q

You can configure the switch to generate alarms for selected events. Configuring 
an alarm involves choosing an event type, rising and falling thresholds, a 
sampling interval, and finally enabling or disabling the alarm. To configure alarms, 
do the following:

1.

In the faceplate display, open the Switch menu and select Configure Alarm 
Thresholds.

2.

The Alarm Threshold Configuration dialog shown in 

 prompts you 

to enable or disable all alarms, select an event, set thresholds, set a 
sampling interval and enable or disable an individual alarm.

3.

Check the Enable All Alarm Thresholds box to enable monitoring for all 
the individual alarm types that are enabled. The Enable All Alarm 
Thresholds box is the master control for the individual alarms. For example, 
the switch will monitor CRC errors only if both the CRC Error Enable box 
and the Enable All Alarm Thresholds box are checked.

4.

Select an event type from the Alarm Threshold pull-down menu. Choose 
from the following options:
„

CRC error monitoring

„

Decode error monitoring

„

ISL monitoring

„

Device login monitoring

„

Device logout monitoring

„

Loss of signal monitoring

5.

Enter a value for the falling threshold. A falling threshold alarm is generated 
when the event count descends below the falling threshold.
