Modify Alarms—Configuring alarm severity levels

The Modify Alarms window (see figure 12) is where you can set the severity level each alarm condition gener- ates and whether it can be a self-clearing condition.

Figure 12. Modify Alarms settings window

The following alarm items that can be configured to generate alarm conditions:

•Box: Over Temperature—An alarm will be triggered when the current temperature exceeds the temperature threshold.

•Box: Power Supply 1–2 Fail—An alarm will be triggered if power supply 1 or 2 fails.

•Box: Main and Fallback Clock Fail—An alarm will be triggered when either the main or fallback clock fail.

•WAN 1–4 Yellow Alarm—When a WAN port detects a yellow alarm condition, the specific WAN alarm will be set.

•WAN 1–4 Red Alarm—When a WAN port detects a red alarm condition, the specific WAN alarm will be set. Each alarm item can be set for one of the following severity levels:

•Critical(4)

•Major(5)

•Minor(6)

•Informational(7)

•Ignore(8)

Note For maximum flexibility, defining the severity level of the alarm is left up to the administrator. To set an alarm, click on the drop-down menu for the desired alarm item, choose the new setting, then click on Submit Query.
