Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide
4 • Alarms
The access server has three methods to notify of an alarm condition:
•
Front panel LED—The front panel ALARM LED has three states that indicate the presence and severity of
an alarm. The states are:
-
Off—No alarm present
-
Solid—Minor alarm
-
Flashing—Major alarm.
Note
The POWER LED will flash if a power supply failure alarm is
present.
•
Administration web page indication—The Alarms window of the administration page uses red highlighting
to indicate which items are in an alarm state (see figure 10).
Figure 10. Sample alarm indication
•
SYSLOG/SNMP—For external notification, the access server can be configured to send a SYSLOG mes-
sage or an SNMP TRAP to an external management host. To configure the alarm response for either SNMP
Traps or SYSLOG messages, click on the
Alarm Response
link (go to “Modify Response—Configuring the
alarm response system” on page 45).
Besides enabling a user to view current alarm status, manually generate an alarm as a test, and clear the alarm
time and alarm count variables, the Alarms main window also contains links to the following:
•
Modify Response—Clicking on this link takes you to a window where you can change how the SYSLOG/
SNMP function notifies remote users of an alarm (see “Modify Response—Configuring the alarm response
system” on page 45)
•
Modify Alarms—Clicking on this link takes you to a window where you can change how the access server
perceives the severity of each alarm (“Modify Alarms—Configuring alarm severity levels” on page 46)
Alarm Response Outputs
Alarm Response Outputs display the current settings for handling alarm notification via SYSLOG/SNMP
messages. To change how the SYSLOG/SNMP function notifies remote users of an alarm, refer to “Modify
Response—Configuring the alarm response system” on page 45.
