Setting Alarm Levels for Performance Monitoring Faults

Once you set a threshold for performance monitoring faults, you can set the alarm

level to indicate that a fault has occurred. Use the SET-ATTR command to set the

alarm level.

SET-ATTR:[<tid>]:<aid>:[<ctag>]::<keyword>=<value>;

This command has a default access level of ADMIN.

Sample Command

SET-ATTR::GPS:TS1000::MTIE=MJ;

This command sets the GPS input to report a Major alarm when the MTIE

performance threshold is exceeded.

Provisioning the Outputs

This section describes the commands you use to provision the outputs of the

TimeProvider. You provision outputs in groups of 8 (or 16 if the Expansion Panel is

used) channels: each group corresponds to the location (A through D) of the Output

module in the main shelf or Expansion Panel.

input has exceeded at least one of

the MTIE thresholds

input has exceeded the FFOFF

threshold
