Set Config Command

threshold

Initiates a configuration session by which to generate and log alarms for selected events. The system displays each event, its thresholds, and sampling interval one line at a time and prompts you for a value. For each parameter, enter a new value or press the Enter key to accept the current value shown in brackets. These parameters must be saved in a configuration and activated before they will take effect. Refer to the ”Config Command” on page B-7for information about saving and activating a configuration. Table B-9describes the Set Config Threshold parameters.

Table B-9. Set Config Threshold Parameters

Parameter

 

Description

 

 

Threshold Monitoring Enabled

Master enable/disable parameter for all

 

events. Enables (True) or disables (False)

 

the generation of all enabled event alarms.

CRCErrorsMonitoringEnabled

The event type enable/disable parameter.

DecodeErrorsMonitoringEnabled

Enables (True) or disables (False) the

ISLMonitoringEnabled

generation of alarms for each of the

LoginMonitoringEnabled

following events:

LogoutMonitoringEnabled

CRC errors

LOSMonitoringEnabled

Decode errors

 

ISL connection count

 

Login errors

 

Logout errors

 

Loss-of-signal errors

Rising Trigger

The event count above which an event is

 

logged. Once the count exceeds the rising

 

threshold, one alarm is logged. The switch

 

will not generate another alarm for that

 

event until the count falls below the falling

 

threshold and rises again above the rising

 

threshold.

Falling Trigger

The event count above which an event

 

becomes eligible for logging in the alarm

 

log.

 

Sample Window

The period of time in seconds in which to

 

count events.
