Alarms System Configuration and Operation

4.7 Alarms

Alarms warn you of problems by reporting possible system hardware or external facility

failures. The Alarm screen is accessed from the System Main Screen by pressing the "

" key

to go to the Alarm Screen (see Figure 4-12 through Figure 4-14). The Alarm Screen displays

the currently active alarms (if any) and provides access to the Alarm Filters and Alarm History

screens. Figure 4-12 shows a typical Alarm Screen with an active alarm.

4.7.1 Alarm Screens

Refer to Figure 4-12. To view the current system alarms, you can go from the System Main

Screen to an Alarm Screen. From the Alarm Screen, you can then go to an Alarm Filters

Screen and set up the alarm reporting filters. Or, you can access an Alarm History Screen (log)

and view alarms that were previously logged by the system. These screens and operations are

discussed in the “Alarms and Alarm Filters” section later in this chapter.
