System Configuration and Operation Alarms
The fifth character set (RED) is the type of alarm generated (in this case, a facility Red alarm
on WAN port W2-1 is reported).
The last two character sets are the date and time the alarm was logged.
5.7.2 Alarm Filter Settings
You can set filters for each alarm so that the alarm reports occurrences in a number of different
ways. Figure 5-17 shows the Alarm Filters screen, which is accessed by pressing "f" (Filters
command) on the Alarm Screen.
Figure 5-17.Alarm Filters Screen
The first column of the Alarm Filters Screen is the alarm abbreviation that appears when an
alarm is generated. The second column is the associated full name of each alarm. Table 5-7
describes each alarm appearing in the Alarm Filters Screen.
The third column contains the filters ignore, log, and report. Set the filter to ignore if you
want the system to ignore the alarm. Or, set it to log if you want the system to show the alarm
report on the screen and also log it into the Alarm History, as described later in this chapter.
Set the filter to report if you want the system to send (report) the alarm indication to a remote
device. With this setting, the system will also display the alarm report on the screen and log it
into the Alarm History.
