[851] ALARM REPORTING
This MMC is used to view, store, print or clear system alarms. Two levels of faults are dis-
played via an alarm code: major alarms and minor alarms. Major alarms codes are usually
service affecting and require a certified technician to determine the fault. A minor alarm in-
dicates a fault that may or may not be service affecting and usually does not seriously de-
grade the system’s operating capabilities.
The alarm buffer holds up to 100 alarms on a first in-first out (FIFO) basis. Alarms provide
a date and time stamp based on the system time. If applicable, the hardware cabinet, port,
and/or slot will be displayed. If an ALARM SIO port is programmed (MMC 804), alarm
information can be printed on demand and as it is provided.
