Alarm severity levels

The terminology used for alarm severity levels in the Alarms panel and in SNMP traps is not the
same. Table 46 lists Alarms panel terminology and the equivalent SNMP trap type.
While the BCM50 fault management system denotes the source of an alarm as “ComponentID”,
the SNMP system denotes the sources of this information as a trap of source “eventSource”.
Note: If the line is busy or if the modem cannot connect for any reason, the alarm
will not be delivered to the destination. If you are using SNMP v3, the modem
will re-attempt the connection three times.
