This command can be used to determine the current state of a specific alarm at a
network element identified by its site name or node number. You can also query
for all current alarms and/or for all network elements currently known to EMS.
To query for alarms
1. Enter a command in the following format
DEMS Site_Name GET ALARM Alarm_Name
(or)
DEMS Node_Number GET ALARM Alarm_Name
where Site_Name is the site name of the network element, Node_Number
is the Host Node or Remote Node value (as displayed in the Maintenance
interface View Catalog window), and
Alarm_Name is the alarm name,
which must be a real alarm name, correctly spelled per the tables identified
below. Use
Site_Name = ALL to query for all network elements. Use
Alarm_Name
= ALL to query for all alarms.
For a list of host unit major and minor alarms that can be queried, refer to
Table 37 and Table 38, respectively. For an explanation of host alarm condi-
tions, refer to Topic 4.4.1, Host Alarms Window, on page 69.

tions, refer to Topic 4.5.1, Remote Alarms Window, on page 80.
NOTE: Entries may be upper or lower case in any combination. Case is ignored.
2. Interpret the response as follows:
• A status of
