DLP- A522 Suppress Alarm Reporting
DLP-A522 Suppress Alarm Reporting
Caution If multiple CTC/TL1 sessions are open, suppressing alarms in one session suppresses the alarms in all
other open sessions.
Note Alarm suppression at the node level does not supersede alarm suppression at the card or port level.
Suppression can exist independently for all three entities, and each entity will raise separate alarms
suppressed by the user command (AS-CMD) alarm.
Step1 If you are in node view, click the Provisioning > Alarm Profiles > Alarm Behavior tabs.
Step2 To suppress alarms for the entire node:
a. Check the Suppress Alarms check box.
b. Click Apply.
All raised alarms for the node will change color to white in the Alarms window and their status will
change to cleared. After suppressing alarms, clicking Synchronize in the Alarms window will remove
cleared alarms from the window. However, an AS-CMD alarm will show in node or card view to indicate
that node-level alarms were suppressed, and the word System will appear in the Object column.
Note The only way to suppress BITS, power source, or system alarms is to suppress alarms for the
entire node. These cannot be suppressed separately, but the shelf backplane can be.
Step3 To suppress alarms for individual cards:
a. Locate the card row (using the Location column for the slot number or the Eqpt Type column for the
equipment name).
b. Check the Suppress Alarms column check box on that row.
Alarms that directly apply to this card will change appearance as described in Step2 . For example, if
you suppressed raised alarms for an OC-48 card in Slot 16, raised alarms for this card will change in
node or card view. The AS-CMD alarm will show the slot number in the Object number. For example,
if you suppressed alarms for a Slot 16 OC-48 card, the AS-CMD object will be “SLOT-16.”
Click Apply.
Step4 To suppress alarms for individual card ports, double-click the card in node view.
Step5 Click the Provisioning > Alarm Profiles > Alarm Behavior tabs.
Step6 Check the Suppress Alarms column check box for the port row where you want to suppress alarms
(Figure 22-4 on page22-14).
Purpose This task suppresses the reporting of ONS 15454 alarms at the node, card,
or port level.
