6.1 Alarm Configuration
6.1.1 Alarm Configuration of the TT1222
The TT1222 has a multitude of possible error conditions. All of these error
conditions generate error messages, which are user configurable, and each
message may be given three different states of severity. They are Ignore,
Warning, and Alarm.
NOTE…
By sorting these alarm messages into these three different categories, you can avoid unnecessary
alarm situations; for example missing Teletext in a service with only video and audio.
6.1.2 Changing the Alarm Configuration
The alarm messages are sorted into eight different categories, described in
Table 6.1 . The alarm messages associated with each category are
described in Annex D, Alarm Categories and Conditions .
