SMS, an alarm is considered acknowledged when an acknowledge message is
received from the main address or when delivered to the SMSC, depending on
configuration in the SAC attribute. Every alarm is sent to the OMC up to MNR
number of times, or until it is acknowledged. The alarms are retransmitted with
RCA minutes intervals. The alarms can also be acknowledged with the command
