NOTE

If you activate the Allow Board/Port to be Disabled on Alarm option, you will have to manually re-enable the board(s) or port(s) if the alarm is triggered. Resetting the device will clear the condition by clearing all packet counters, but you will still need to re-enable the board(s) and/or port(s).
