5.3 Real-time BCM Fault/Alarms Management

You can view and manage real-time alarms generated by the BCM system.

Alarms arise from components that are running on the system; these alarms

indicate faults or informational conditions that may require resolution from the

system administrator. Examples of alarm conditions include:

• T1 circuit on the system is down

• Service running on the BCM has been stopped by an administrator

Alarm information can be delivered to you by any of the following means:

• The Alarms Panel in the BCM Element Manager

• The Alarm Banner in the BCM Element Manager

• Core telephony alarms show on the alarm set

• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps for remote

management of faults

• LEDs on the BCM main unit

Below is an example of the BCM Alarms Panel in the BCM Element Manager:

You can manage alarms and alarm information by:

• Configuring alarm settings, for example filtering alarms so that only the

desired subset of alarms are displayed in the BCM Element Manager

Alarms Panel or sent as SNMP traps

• Administering alarms, for example acknowledging selected alarms and

clearing the alarm log
