NTP-G65 Delete Cleared Alarms from Display
An exclusion rule eliminates all lower-level alarms or conditions that originate from the same cause. For
example, a fiber break might cause a loss of signal (LOS) alarm, an alarm indication signal (AIS)
condition, and a signal fail (SF) condition. If you check the Exclude Same Root Cause check box, only
the LOS alarm will appear. According to Telcordia, exclusion rules apply to a query of “all conditions
from a node.”
