The Alarm Buffer can be cleared by pressing the "c" key. Note that each entry in the buffer is "time
stamped" with the actual time of occurrence. So it is important to properly set the Date & Time as
described previously.
Another important diagnostic display is the Performance Monitor display. This display is also
accessible from the root menu, as item "4". The display looks similar to the following.

All 16 channels are shown, 4 for each of 4 ports, plus the optical performance.
The very last item on the root menu is the Alarm Cut Off function. To turn off an activated audible
or visual alarm, the ACU pushbutton on the front of the unit may be pushed or in terminal mode,
the alarm may be cut off for the local or remote unit. Press item "5" from the root menu. The
"Audible Alarm Cut-off" LED will light on the front panel to indicate ACO.
This completes the overview of the LCD and Console mode configuration and status monitoring of
the MULTIPLEXER UNIT.
