Figure 3-3. Set Module Alarms Window
3.Select one or more modules in the scroll list. To apply one set of conditions to all modules, you can either select each module in the list or use the Set Alarm For box at the bottom of the window to choose either Selected Modules, which applies the conditions to the modules you selected in the module list, or All Modules, which applies the conditions to all modules in the hub network.
4.Click mouse button 1 on one of the four Alarm Types: Collisions, Errors, Traffic, or Broadcast. (Alarm Types not available for this device are grayed.) If you select Errors, the Mask check boxes become active and you can select all or just some of the five error types. The Error MaskCARGO, displayed in the module list, is an acronym for the error types: C = CRC, A = Alignment, R = Runts, G = Giants, O = OOW Collisions.
5.Set the Status to Enabled.
6.Highlight and edit the Alarm Threshold, which is the percentage of errors/total packets, or the number of traffic packets, broadcast packets, or collisions/good packet within the Timebase that will activate the alarm.
