Alarm ConÞguration
This area of the Module or Port ConÞguration View provides conÞguration and
status information for generation of alarms by the selected module. The Alarm
ConÞguration section provides the following information:
TrafÞc Alarms
This Þeld displays whether trafÞc alarms are disabled or enabled. You can
update this Þeld.
TrafÞc Threshold
The threshold value within the alarm timebase which, once that number of
packets is exceeded, generates a trafÞc alarm. You can update this Þeld.
TrafÞc Alarm Condition
You can set this Þeld to disable the module/port if the trafÞc alarm threshold
is exceeded: an alarm for the module is generated. This is useful in preventing
excessive network trafÞc from alarm messages transmitted by the module and
aids in module troubleshooting.
Collision Alarms
This Þeld displays whether collision alarms are disabled or enabled. You can
update this Þeld.
Collision Threshold
The threshold value within the alarm timebase which, once that number of
collisions per good packet is exceeded, generates a collision alarm. You can
update this Þeld.
Collision Alarm Condition
You can set this Þeld to disable the module/port if the collision alarm
threshold is exceeded; an alarm for the module is generated. This is useful in
