Alarm Configuration

If you wish to create an entirely new alarm, it doesn’t matter which existing alarm (if any) is highlighted when you open the Create/Edit Alarms window; although the window will, by default, display the parameters of whichever alarm is currently selected, all parameters are editable and can be configured as desired.

NOTE

Whether you are modifying an existing alarm or creating a new one is determined solely by the assignment of the Index number: if you assign a previously unused index number, a new alarm instance will be created; if you use an existing index number, its associated alarm will be modified.

2.In the Owner text box, enter some appropriate text designation for this alarm, if desired; you may want to use the network manager’s name or phone number, or the IP or MAC address of the management workstation, to identify the creator of the alarm. Since any workstation can access and change the alarms you are setting in your 9H42x-xx, some owner identification can prevent alarms from being altered or deleted accidentally. The default value provided is SPEL — <IP address> <(hostname)> <date> <time>, where

<IP address> and <(hostname)> refer to the workstation that created the alarm and <date> and <time> reflect the date and time of the alarm’s creation.

3.If you are creating a new alarm, use the Index field to assign a unique, currently unused index number to identify the alarm. Clicking on the 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 4,000 and 9,999 (indices 2000 to 3999 are reserved and unavailable).

NOTE

Clicking on to select the next available index number will replace the current Owner string with the default value described above; if the default value is already in place, the date and time will be updated.

If you wish to modify an existing alarm, enter the appropriate index value, or double-click on the alarm of interest in the Alarms Watch list (in the main Alarm/Event window).

Remember, the only thing that determines whether you are modifying an existing alarm or

TIP creating a new one is the assignment of the index number; be sure to assign this value appropriately.
