GRAPHIC DISPLAY
Display Modes
The Acme Packet 4500 graphic display defaults to one of two display modes:
• Base display is the default and indicates a properly-functioning Acme Packet
4500.
• Alarm mode becomes the default display mode when any alarms are active on
the Acme Packet 4500. Active fault information is continuously displayed on the
graphic display.
Base Display
The base display shows the type of Acme Packet 4500 running. This information
appears when the system first starts up and when the graphic display times out at
any menu level.

SESSION DIRECTOR
The base display of an Acme Packet 4500 in an HA node includes additional
information applicable to its HA state. See the
Graphic Display Output for HA Nodes
section in this chapter.
Alarm Display
The alarm display replaces the base display during an alarm condition. The alarm
display informs you of what symptoms are currently causing alarms. The number
and type of alarms appear on the Acme Packet 4500 graphic display, which indicates
either a link alarm or a hardware alarm. For example, if there are two link alarms
present on the Acme Packet 4500, the display appears like this:
2 LINK ALARMS
If the graphic display indicates an alarm condition, you can use the ACLI display-
alarms command to display the details of the alarm. When an alarm condition is
cleared, the base display replaces the alarm display. To clear an alarm, you must
execute the ACLI
clear-alarm command or resolve the cause of the alarm.
Graphic Display Menus
The Acme Packet 4500 graphic display lets you access the five display menus for
quick access to the system current status.
Top Menu
The top menu provides top-level access to information in distinct categories of
system functionality.
To access the top menu from the base display or alarm display:
1. Press the Enter button. The first entry in the top menu appears.
2. Press the Up and Down buttons to scroll through the top menu categories. The
top menu rolls over when you reach the top or bottom of the menu.
