Token Ring Alarms

NOTE

The time interval set using the New Alarm Timebase textbox will apply to all alarms set in the Alarm Limits and Station Alarm Limits windows. The timebase needs only to be set once to apply to all alarms. You do not need to set the timebase for each separate alarm.

4.Highlight the hour, minute, or second field, and type the desired interval in each (or click the cursor in the desired field, and click on the appropriate arrow to scroll the interval up or down). Note that the minimum possible time interval is 10 seconds. Any lower time interval entered will default back to the last acceptable time entered.

5.Click on OK to return to the Alarm Limits window.

6.To enable any ring-level alarms you have selected for the device, click on Apply Ring Changes. To enable any ring-level station alarms selected for the device, click on Apply Stn. Changes. Note that if you have set a ring-level station alarm, pop-up messages will inform you as each station is set.

Click on Reset Defaults to restore the default alarm thresholds.

Your MicroMMAC-T alarm limits are now set. When an alarm threshold is exceeded, an alarm will be generated. To view a list of the alarms, check NetSight Element Manager’s alarm logging facility. Refer to the Alarm and Event Handling User’s Guide for more information on viewing the alarm logging facility.

Station-Level Alarm Limits
