A
Alarms
The Acme Packet 1100 generates internal alarms that correspond to internal hardware fault
conditions. Hardware faults are divided into two types:
•
Hardware and environmental
•
Media link
Each alarm is assigned a severity level, depending on the details of the fault.
Table A-1 Descriptions of Alarm Severity Levels (cont.)
Alarm Severity
Description
Minor
Functionality is impaired to a small degree (e.g., a single fan has
failed)
Major
Pending failures or unexpected events are imminent (e.g., an LOS)
Critical
Catastrophic condition has occurred (e.g., the system is overheating)
The Acme Packet 1100 polls its hardware components to ensure they are functioning properly.
If it encounters a fault condition, it will report alarms in these categories:
•
Hardware temperature
•
Fan speed
•
Environmental sensor
•
Power supply
•
Voltage
•
Physical interface cards
