System Configuration and Operation Alarms
The first character set (
00023
in the above display) is the Alarm Sequence Number. This is a
sequential number from
1
to
65,535
. It identifies the alarm for tracking and maintenance. In
the above example, the Alarm Sequence Number is
23
.
The second character set (
w1-1
) is the location of the problem by chassis slot number and port
number. In this case, the WAN card in chassis slot W1 is affected, and port 1 of that card has
reported the alarm.
The third character set (
CSU + CSU
) is the type of card affected (in this case, a WAN card
with two T1 CSU modules).
The fourth character set is the alarm modifier (in this case,
C
indicates a critical alarm). See
the “Alarms and Alarm Filters” section later in this chapter for more information about alarm
modifiers.
The fifth character set (
CGA_RED
) is the type of alarm generated (in this case, a CGA-Red
alarm on WAN port W1-1).
The last two character sets are the date and time the alarm was logged (in this case, December
31, 1999, at 11:59:59 a.m.).
