A number of different parameters can be configured for how the alarms are transmitted to the repeater OMC.
Each alarm source can also be individually configured in a number of different ways.

Class – Each alarm can be linked to one of the following classes: Common, Quality, Process, Equipment
or Environment. The class is used when the information is presented in the AEM
Severity – Each alarm can be classified regarding severity - Critical, Major, Minor or Warning
Note! It is recommended not to change the default settings.
Enabl. – If this box is ticked the alarm is transmitted to the repeater OMC (AEM)
Note! This only affects the transmission of the alarm. The alarm is still measured, and corresponding alarm
status is still displayed in the repeater status screen and in the heartbeat reports transmitted to the repeater
OMC.
Ack. – All alarms will by default be transmitted to the repeater OMC (AEM) requiring acknowledgement
(the box is checked). Disabling this checkbox removes this requirement, which means that an alarm will
only be transmitted once, regardless if an acknowledgement is received or not.
Upper and lower thresholds can be set for some of the alarms. Please refer to BSR421 Command and
Attribute Summary for details on the usage of thresholds for each alarm source.
Note! The default settings should normally not be changed.
Time – Defines how many seconds an alarm source should be in ERROR before an alarm is triggered.
