Known Alarm Manager Anomalies in SPECTRUM 6.0.3
SPECTRUM Software Release Notes Page 44
Problem 2: On the Windows NT platform, the Auto Raise option does not
bring the Alarm Manager to the front when a new alarm is created.
Solution: This problem will be corrected in a future release of
SPECTRUM.
Problem 3: When you have both the Netscape mail window and the main
Netscape window iconified, when you click the Hints button the Netscape
browser window toggles between the main Hints page and Netscape mail
window.
Solution: This is a problem with Netscape 4.0.3 and 4.0.4.
Problem 4: 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 corrected in a future release of
SPECTRUM.
Problem 5: 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.
