4.4.7 Alarm Configuration

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.

Note! The alarm configuration window will differ from the one below but have similar functionality.

Affect relay If checked, an active alarm from the alarm source affects the relay status

Enabl. If checked, the alarm is transmitted to the repeater OMC

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 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.

Lower Lower threshold, not applicable for all alarm sources. Please refer to documents

Command and Attribute Summary for details on the usage of thresholds for

each alarm source.

Upper Upper threshold, not applicable for all alarm sources. Please refer to documents

Command and Attribute Summary for details on the usage of thresholds for

each alarm source.

Time Defines how many consecutive measurements from one alarm source that

should be measured as ERROR before an alarm is triggered.
