Acme Packet 6100 Hardware Installation Guide

Link and SDP 
Alarms

Link alarms are generated when a network cable is plugged into or unplugged 
from a configured network interface. For each possible network interface, an 
alarm exists that indicates whether the link goes up or down. 

The following tables list detailed information about the Acme Packet 6100 NIU 
link alarms, including their ID assignments, severities, causes, log messages, 
and messages printed in the graphic display window.
