•MinorSelfClearing(3)—Generate a minor alarm that automatically clears after a fixed period of time. If the alarm condition has not ceased, the alarm will be automatically cleared, but another alarm will be immedi- ately generated.

Note For maximum application flexibility, the administrator shall choose which constitute major or minor alarm. Some examples of typical major and minor alarms include:

-WAN 1: Red Alarm—MajorSelfClearing

-WAN 1: Yellow Alarm—MinorSelfClearing
