Port Alarm Information
Line Down Alarm Severity (lineDownSeverityMdsl)
Configures the severity of the alarm when the modem line is down. The options are:
• ignore(0)
• minor(1)
• major(2)
• minorSelfClearing(3)
• majorSelfClearing(4)
No alarm is generated if set to ignore(0). Refer to Chapter 6, “Alarms” on page 39, for complete details on the
alarm severity parameters.
Bit Error Alarm Severity (bitErrSeverityMdsl)
This configures the severity of the alarm when the bit error rate (BER) exceeds the user configurable threshold.
The available options are:
• ignore(0)
• minor(1)
• major(2)
• minorSelfClearing(3)
• majorSelfClearing(4)
No alarm is generated if set to ignore(0). Refer to Chapter 6, “Alarms” on page 39, for complete details on the
alarm severity parameters.
Clicking the button Alarm Severity will configure the selections for both Line Down Alarm Severity and Bit

Alarm Thresholds
The Alarm Thresholds are configured by the user to set the threshold of accumulated errors since the port was
activated. When the threshold value is exceeded, an alarm will be generated if the severity level of the alarm is
configured for a value other than none(0).
Errored Seconds Alarm Threshold (errSecThresholdMdsl). Sets the maximum number (or threshold ) for
errored seconds that can occur without generating an alarm. The value is calculated from the time when the
port was last activated. If this value is exceeded, an alarm will be generated. This value is in seconds.
Severely Errored Seconds Alarm Threshold (sevErrSecThresholdMdsl). Sets the threshold for severly
errored seconds that can occur without generating an error. The value is calculated from the time when the
port was last activated. If this value is exceeded, an alarm will be generated. This value is in seconds.
Unavailable Seconds Alarm Threshold (unavailSecThresholdMdsl). Too many unavailable seconds can
render a circuit connection incapable of sending data. The Unavailable Seconds Alarm Threshold set the maxi-
