Alarm Configuration

13.Click to set your changes. If you have made any errors in configuring alarm parameters (using an invalid value in any field, leaving a field blank, or selecting an alarm variable which is not resident on the device), an error window with the appropriate message will appear. Correct the noted

problem(s), and click again.

Note that the window remains open so that you may configure additional new alarms or modify existing ones; remember, you can double-click on any alarm in the Alarms Watch list in the main Alarm/Event window to display its parameters in the Create/Edit Alarm window. When you have finished configuring your

alarms, click on to close the window.

Creating and Editing an Event

The Create/Edit Events window (Figure 3-5, page 3-21) — like the Create/Edit Alarms window — allows you to both create new events and edit existing ones.

When you click on the button in the Events Watch list, the Create/Edit Events window will display the parameters of the event which is currently highlighted in the list. (If no events have yet been configured, a set of default parameters will be displayed.) All of these parameters are editable: to change an existing event, edit any parameter except the Index value; to create an entirely new event, simply assign a new Index number. The ability to assign index numbers allows you to quickly and easily create a number of similar events 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 Event window is open; to edit a different event (or use its settings as the basis of a new event), simply double-click on the event you want to use in the main Events Watch list, and the Create/Edit Event window will update accordingly.

If the Create/Edit Actions window is also open, it too will update to display the actions

TIP associated with the event currently selected in the main Alarm/Event window. See Adding Actions to an Event, page 3-23, for more information on the actions feature.

To configure 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 3-5, will appear.

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.
