Known Alarm Manager Anomalies in
SPECTRUM 6.5
Problem 1: Newly created Alarm Descriptions in SpectroWATCH will not
display in the Alarm Manager if the Alarm Manager was running at the
time the watch and its custom Alarm Description was created. The alarm
itself is displayed but without the custom new Alarm Description.
Solution: Exit then restart the Alarm Manager. The new view will be
updated with your custom alarm description. This problem will be
corrected in a future release of SPECTRUM.
Problem 2: When the Alarm Manager receives a Link Down alarm 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 corrected in a future release of
SPECTRUM.
Problem 3: 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.
