Alarms
The Configuration Manager can be used to view alarms that occur in the system. Alarms, also called traps, are caused by a variety of system events, including connection attempts, resets, and configuration changes.
Although you will not typically need to view this information, it may be helpful in working with your ISP to troubleshoot problems you encounter with the device. (Despite their name, not all alarms indicate problems in the functioning of the system.)
To display the Alarm page, log into the Configuration Manager, click the Alarm button in the Admin folder.
Figure 32. Alarm/Trap Information Page
Listed under Alarm/Trap Information are the time and date of each recorded alarm event, the type of alarm, and a brief statement indicating its cause.
To remove all entries from the list, click the Clear button. New entries will begin accumulating and will display when you click the Refresh button.
If you want to display an automatically updating Alarm table, you can click the Alarm Monitor button to display a separate Alarm Monitor window.
