For a switch activity that is reported both as an alarm and an event, the ID,
message text and time are identical in the event and alarm messages.
The event ID is an 8 or 9-digit decimal number that allows you to identify the source of the event or alarm. The first
five or six digits indicate the software module associated with the switch activity. The remaining digits identify the
specific type of activity. Table B-3 lists each software module and its prefix(es).
