Alarm Configuration

Using the 

 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 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 

 

button; selecting the 

 button will launch the appropriate Basic Alarm 

. (Note that selecting more than one interface — even if all selected 

interfaces have experienced alarm conditions — will inactivate the 

 

button; you can only view a single alarm log at a time.)
