The PL-1000RO keeps a list of the alarms currently detected on the system. When

Alarm Clear

The following information is stored for each alarm:
•
Date and Time
: The date and time when the alarm was detected.
•
Source
: The entity that caused the alarm.
•
Severity
: The severity of the alarm.
•

•
Service Affecting
:
Yes
or
No
according to the alarm impact.
5.1.2
