14.5.6 Applying Alarm Profiles

In CTC node view, the Alarm Behavior window displays alarm profiles for the node. In card view, the
Alarm Behavior window displays the alarm profiles for the selected card. Alarm profiles form a
hierarchy. A node-level alarm profile applies to all cards in the node except cards that have their own
profiles. A card-level alarm profile applies to all ports on the card except ports that have their own
profiles.
At the node level, you can apply profile changes on a card-by-card basis or set a profile for the entire
node. At the card-level view, you can apply profile changes on a port-by-port basis or set alarm profiles
for all ports on that card. Figure 14-4 shows the DS1 card alarm profile.

14.6 Alarm Suppression
The following sections explain alarm suppression features for the O NS 15454.

14.6.1 Alarms Suppressed for Maintenance

When you place a port in OOS,MT administrative state, this raises the alarm suppressed for maintenance
(AS-MT) alarm in the Conditions and History windows1 and causes subsequently raised alarms for that
port to be suppressed.
1. AS-MT can be seen in the Alarms window as well if you have set the Filter dialog box to show NA severity
events.
