Corrected and Known Anomalies
Enterprise Alarm Manager
Software Release Notes Page 71
Problem 17: When the Alarm Manager receives a Link Down trap from a
device modeled in the database, SPECTRUM asserts a Red alarm on the
interface model that generated the trap, and a Yellow alarm on the device.
If that same device receives a second Link Down trap from a different
interface, that interface also turns Red. But when the device receives a
Link Up trap from the second interface, SPECTRUM clears the red alarm
on the second interface and the Yellow alarm on the device model. This
results in a Red alarm on the first down interface model but no associated
Yellow alarm on the device model.
Solution: This problem will be documented in SPECTRUM 6.0.
Problem 18: When printing an alarm report with multiple probable
causes from the Alarm Manager using a Windows NT workstation, you may
get the following printing problems:
1. The second listed probable cause (not shown in Alarm Manager without
scrolling down) will bleed through the printout outside of the tab.
2. Selected alarms prints blacked out without being able to read it.
3. The probable cause column title bleeds through the scroll bar on the
Windows NT printout.
Solution: These printouts require that you use a Level 2 Postscript
printer which eliminates the printing problems.
Problem 19: When you try to run a SPECTRUM 6.0 Enterprise Alarm
Manager from a SPECTRUM 5.0rev1 SpectroSERVER you will receive error
messages which says:
Unsupported version.
Solution: Aprisma is investigating this anomaly which will be corrected
in a future release of SPECTRUM.
