Basic Alarm Configuration

Alarm Configuration

To configure additional alarms, or alarms of a different type, select the appropriate alarm 
variable at the top of the window, highlight the appropriate interface(s), and repeat the 
procedures outlined above.

Using the Disable button at the bottom of the window actually performs two functions: it 
both disables the alarm and deletes the alarm entry (and its associated event and action 
entries) from device memory to help conserve device resources. In the list box display, the 
parameters for any “disabled” alarm are automatically reset to their default values.

To disable an alarm:

1.

In the top of the window, click to select the variable for which you wish to 
disable an alarm: Kilobits, Total Errors, or Broadcast/Multicast.

2.

In the list box display, click to highlight the interface(s) for which you wish to 
disable the selected alarm type. (Remember, you can use shift-click to select 
a sequential group of interfaces, or ctrl-click to select any group of 
interfaces.)

3.

Click on the Disable button. The selected alarm type on the selected 
interface(s) will be disabled, and the list box display will refresh to reflect 
those changes.

If you have selected the “log” response for an alarm, and that alarm’s rising and/or falling 
threshold has been crossed, the Basic Alarms application will create a log of alarm 
occurrences. If a threshold has been crossed, it will be preceded in the interface list box 
display by a double greater-than sign (>>). Clicking to select an interface which is so 
marked will activate the View Log button; selecting the View Log button will launch the 
appropriate Basic Alarm Log, 

. (Note that selecting more than one interface — 

even if all selected interfaces have experienced alarm conditions — will deactivate the 
View Log button; you can only view a single alarm log at a time.)
