Alarm severity is changed/assigned using a menu. To view this menu, right-click the alarm you want to change in its alarm profile column. Seven alarm severity levels appear:

CR: Critical alarm

MJ: Major alarm

MN: Minor alarm

NR: Not reported

NA: Not alarmed

TR: Transparent alarm

UN: Unset alarm

Transparent and unset alarms are associated only with alarm profiles and therefore do not appear when you view alarms, history, or conditions.

In addition to the alarm profile tabs, the Alarming tab displays two check boxes at the bottom of the screen: Hide default values and Hide identical rows. The Hide default values check box will be blank if the severity for that alarm is the same as the default. The Hide identical rows check box allows you to hide rows that contain the same severity in each profile.

Procedure: Create an Alarm Profile

Step 1 Display the CTC network view.

Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Alarming tabs.

Step 3 Right-click anywhere in the Default column to display the Profile Editing menu.

Step 4 Choose Clone from the menu.

Step 5 In the Clone Profile Default dialog box, enter a name in New Profile Name.

Profile names must be unique. If you try to import or name a profile that has the same name as another profile, CTC attempts to find an alternate name by adding a suffix.

Step 6 Click OK.

The new profile (named in Step 5) is created. It is identical to the default profile and is added as a new column on the far right-hand side.

Step 7 Modify (customize) the alarm profile:

(a)In the new alarm profile column, click in a row that contains the alarm severity you want to change.
