•line cards status

A major alarm is any fault that would render the E1200i non-functional.

In the E1200i system, alarms are logged for each occurrence, but the system may not send an event log for multiple occurrences. For example, whenever a module exceeds the shutdown threshold, the module shuts down. If more than one module exceeds the warning or high temperature thresholds within a five minute period, the system generates one event for all effected modules, but alarms are logged for each occurrence. If the modules temperature falls to 5° lower than the warning threshold temperature, the system clears the alarm and an SNMP trap.
