Index numbers are permanently assigned to their 
associated events; however, numbers made available by 
the deletion of existing events can be assigned to new 
events, as needed. Note that indices 2000 to 4999 are 
reserved and unavailable.
LastTime
Indicates the last time this event was triggered. Note that 
this information is static once it is displayed, and the 
LastTime Þeld will not be updated unless you close, then 
open, the Alarms/Events window, or click on Refresh.
Type
Indicates the type of response that will be generated if 
the event is triggered: log, trap, or log & trap. A type of 
ÒnoneÓ indicates that occurrences of the event will not be 
logged and no trap will be sent; however, note that this 
Þeld does not indicate whether or not there are any 
actions associated with the selected event.
Description
This is a user-deÞned text description used to identify 
the event and/or the alarm or packet capture that 
triggers it.
The 
 button at the bottom of the screen provides access to the log which 
lists the occurrences of an event.
Note that the information provided in this screen is static once it is displayed; for 
updated information, click on Refresh. Adding or modifying an event 
automatically updates the list.
Creating and Editing an Advanced Alarm
The Create/Edit Alarms window (
create new alarms and edit existing ones. When you click on the 
 button in the Alarms Watch list, the Create/Edit Alarms 
window will display the parameters of the alarm which is currently highlighted 
in the list. (If no alarms have yet been conÞgured, a set of default parameters will 
be displayed.) All of these parameters are editable: to change an existing alarm, 
edit any parameter except the Index value; to create an entirely new alarm, simply 
assign a new Index number. The ability to assign index numbers allows you to 
quickly and easily create a number of similar alarms without having to close, then 
re-open the window or re-assign every parameter.
Note, too, that the main Alarm/Event window remains active while the 
Create/Edit Alarm window is open; to edit a different alarm (or use its settings as 
the basis of a new alarm), simply double-click on the alarm you want to use in the 
main Alarms Watch list, and the Create/Edit Alarm window will update 
accordingly.
