Creating an Alarm
Creating an alarm is a two-step process. The first step is to create an instance
of a new alarm. The next step is to make the alarm Valid, thus enabling the
alarm.
To create an alarm, follow these steps:
1. Click on the RMON Alarms/Events selection from the RMONApp’s Icon
Subviews menu. The Alarm/Event Table View appears. Adjust the vertical
slide bar to see the Alarm Table (shown below).
2. Click on the New Alarm button. The Alarm Creation View appears.

3. In the Owner field, enter the name of the alarm’s owner.
4. Click in the Index field and enter a number that represents this alarm
definition. Make sure the Index number you choose is not already
assigned to an existing alarm definition. The alarm indexes in use need
not be consecutively numbered.
NOTE
In the configuration views for RMON Alarms and Events, some attribute
fields are outlined in red. This is normal; it occurs when you define a new
alarm or event because a value for the attribute does not yet exist. After you
enter a value, the attribute outline changes to white.
