Introduction
Introduction
The 6511RC provides alarm facilities that monitor the operating status of the 6511RC’s SDH port, path,
H.110 WAN ports, clock synchronization and fallback, and ambient temperature. The 6511RC provides three
alarm signaling methods to indicate that an alarm condition has been detected:
•
Visual indication via the 6511RC front panel ALARM and rear blade ALARM status LED indicators
•
Operator console indication via the 6511RC management windows
•
External alarms management host indication delivered via SNMP traps or Syslog messages that the
6511RC can send to an external alarms management host
By default, all 6511RC alarms are set to display as major (orange-colored) severity events, but you can use the
alarm systems management windows to customize them, assigning a higher or lower level of severity to each item
as desired. Your choices are critical (red), major (orange), minor (yellow), informational (blue), or ignore (no color).
Alarm System Overview window
The Alarm System Overview window (see
figure 11
) and related windows enable you to manage the 6511RC’s
alarm system. Click on the Alarms hyperlink in the 6511RC’s Configuration Menu to display the Alarm System
Overview window.
Note
From the Alarm System Overview window, the system administrator can
force the 6511RC to generate alarms for testing purposes as well as clear
selected alarms.
