Alarm Configuration
To conÞgure an event:
1.If you wish to modify an existing event or create a new event based on the
parameters of an existing one, be sure the event of interest is highlighted in
the Events Watch list, then click on 
at the top of the Events Watch portion of the RMON Advanced Alarm/Event List. The Create/Edit Events window, Figure
If you wish to create an entirely new event, it doesn’t matter which existing event (if any) is highlighted when you open the Create/Edit Events window; although the window will, by default, display the parameters of whichever event is currently selected, all parameters are editable and can be configured as desired.
Whether you are modifying an existing event or creating a new one is determined solely
TIP by the assignment of the Index number: if you assign a previously unused index number, a new event instance will be created; if you use an existing index number, its associated event will be modiÞed.
Figure 4-5. The RMON Create/Edit Events Window
2.If you are creating a new event, use the Index field to assign a unique, currently unused index number to identify the event. Clicking on the Index button will automatically assign the lowest available number; you can also click directly in the text box and assign any value you want between 1 and 1,999 and 5,000 and 9,999 (indices 2000 to 4999 are reserved and unavailable).
NOTE |
Clicking on the Index button to select the next available index number will replace the current Owner string with the default value; if the default value is in already in place, the date and time will be updated.
