MANAGING ALARMS AND EVENTS

When you access the Craft interface, whether through an Ethernet port on the rear or a Craft port on the front, the information you view and the set- tings you specify are only for the system on the same side of the chassis as the port to which you connected. You must connect to the other system to manage its alarms and events.

When an alarm condition occurs within a system, MIX 56 alerts you in the following ways:

•The critical, major, or minor front panel LED lights.

•The critical, major, or minor alarm contact on the rear panel activates, sending the alarm to a separate alarm system.

•An SNMP trap is sent if the network IP address, Subnet Mask, and a Trap Address are set from the System Interfaces screen.

•An entry detailing the alarm condition is made in the Alarm Log and the Current Alarms screen.

When the alarm clears, the LED goes out, the alarm contact deactivates, a second SNMP trap is sent, the alarm is removed from the Current Alarms screen, and a second entry is made in the Alarm Log detailing the time the alarm cleared.

MIX 56 defines alarm levels as follows:

Critical: service-affecting conditions that cause the loss of two or more low speed line or the loss of the high-speed line.
