• (HOST or REMOTE) ALARM STATUS Indicator—Always
displays. Indicates whether an alarm exists for the identified unit:
• Red = one or more major alarms exist. A major alarm places the
identified unit in standby operating mode (stopping RF functions).
• Yel l o w = one or more minor alarms exist at the network element. A minor
alarm allows the unit to continue functioning in normal mode.
• Green = no alarms exist at the network element.
An alarm status indicator in an alarm state (red or yellow) can only be
returned to normal (green) by correcting the associated problem in the host or
remote unit.
• (HOST or REMOTE) ALARM HIST Indicator—Individually
labeled “Hist Ack,” displays for a unit when an alarm is reported for
that unit. It remains displayed until the alarm is acknowledged within
this same window.
An individual alarm is acknowledged by clicking on the HIST ACK indicator (as
shown in Figure 58) then clicking on the OK button in the Alarm History Info
dialog (shown in Figure 59).
