An indication that alarms are present for a device is visible in the Basic Tree View pane. If a device has one or more
alarms, a small circle appears in the icon for the device.

The status of the RCP-ME is shown via a number of colored buttons and labels:

• Yellow – alarm is active. For example, a protect is active on the panel.
• Red – device has been rebooted. Refresh the Basic Tree View in DashBoard to clear this status.
