Alarm Configuration

Creating and Editing an Advanced Alarm

The Create/Edit Alarms window (Figure 4-4,page 4-15) allows you to both create new alarms and edit existing ones. When you click on the Create/Edit button in the Alarms Watch list, the Create/Edit Alarms window will display the parameters of the alarm which is currently highlighted in the list. (If no alarms have yet been configured, a set of default parameters will be displayed.) All of these parameters are editable: to change an existing alarm, edit any parameter except the Index value; to create an entirely new alarm, simply assign a new Index number. The ability to assign index numbers allows you to quickly and easily create a number of similar alarms without having to close, then re-open the window or re-assign every parameter.

The main Alarm/Event window remains active while the Create/Edit Alarms window is open; to edit a different alarm (or use its settings as the basis of a new alarm), simply double-click on the alarm you want to use in the main Alarms Watch list, and the Create/Edit Alarms window will update accordingly.

To configure an alarm:

1.If you wish to modify an existing alarm or create a new alarm based on the parameters of an existing one, be sure the alarm of interest is highlighted in the Alarms Watch list, then click on the Create/Edit button at the top of the Alarms Watch portion of the RMON Advanced Alarm/Event window. The Create/Edit Alarms window, Figure 4-4, will appear.

If you wish to create an entirely new alarm, it doesn’t matter which existing alarm (if any) is highlighted when you open the Create/Edit Alarms window; although the window will, by default, display the parameters of whichever alarm is currently selected, all parameters are editable and can be configured as desired.

NOTE

Whether you are modifying an existing alarm or creating a new one is determined solely by the assignment of the Index number: if you assign a previously unused index number, a new alarm instance will be created; if you use an existing index number, its associated alarm will be modified.
