14.3.6 Controlling the Conditions Display

You can control the display of the conditions on the Conditions window. Table 14- 4 shows the actions

you can perform in the window.

The current set of all existing conditions maintained by the alarm manager can be seen when you click

the Retrieve button. The set of conditions retrieved is relative to the view. For example, if you click the

button while displaying the node view, node-specific conditions are displayed. If you click the button

while displaying the network view, all conditions for the network (including ONS 15454 nodes and other

connected nodes) are displayed, and the card view shows only card-specific conditions.

You can also set a node to display conditions using the time zone where the node is located, rather than

the time zone of the PC where they are being viewed. See the “14.3.1 Viewing Alarms With Each Node’s

Time Zone” section on page 14-4 for more information.

Table 14-5 lists the Conditions window column headings and the information recorded in each column.

Table 14-4 Conditions Display

Button Action

Retrieve Retrieves the current set of all existing fault conditions, as maintained by

the alarm manager, from the ONS 15454.

Filter Allows you to change the Conditions window display to only show the

conditions that meet a certain severity level or occur in a specified time. For

example, you can set the filter so that only critical conditions display on the

window.

There is a Filter button on the lower-right of the window that allows you to

enable or disable the filter feature.

Exclude Same Root

Cause

Retrieves conditions that obey a root-cause hierarchy (for example, LOS

supersedes and replaces LOF).
