Creating and Editing an Advanced Alarm

The Create/Edit Alarms window (Figure 3-4) allows you to both create new

alarms and edit existing ones. When you click on in the

Alarms Watch list, the Create/Edit Alarms window will display the parameters of

the alarm which is currently highlighted in the list. (If no alarms have yet been

conﬁgured, a set of default parameters will be displayed.) All of these parameters

are editable: to change an existing alarm, edit any parameter except the Index

value; to create an entirely new alarm, simply assign a new Index number. The

ability to assign index numbers allows you to quickly and easily create a number

of similar alarms without having to close, then re-open the window or re-assign

every parameter.

Note, too, that the main Alarm/Event window remains active while the

Create/Edit Alarm window is open; to edit a different alarm (or use its settings as

the basis of a new alarm), simply double-click on the alarm you want to use in the

main Alarms Watch list, and the Create/Edit Alarm window will update

accordingly.

To conﬁgure an alarm:

1. If you wish to modify an existing alarm or create a new alarm based on the

parameters of an existing one, be sure the alarm of interest is highlighted in

the Alarms Watch list, then click on at the top of the

Alarms Watch portion of the RMON Advanced Alarm/Event List. The

Create/Edit Alarms window, Figure 3-4, will appear.
