8.3.2.1 Notification of New Events
To know when events have been received, examine the event notification indicator lights in the Event Categories window. The indicator lights will change to corresponding color of the most severe alarm logged.
To see new events as they arrive (real time), open up the EDACS or All Events Browser. Place the scroll bar at the bottom of the browser list; as new events arrive, they are appended to the end of the list.
A listing of EDACS events may be found in
