3.13 Creating Alarm Profiles
The Alarm Profiles feature allows you to provision alarm severities by creating unique alarm profiles
for individual ONS 15327 nodes. A profile you create can be applied to a port, card, node, or all
nodes on the network. Alarm profiles must be stored on a node before they can be applied to a node,
card, or port.
To assign alarm profiles to electrical ports, see the “DS-1 and DS-3 Alarming” section on page 5-6.
To assign alarm profiles to optical ports, see the “Optical Alarm Settings” section on page 5-10. To
assign alarm profiles to Ethernet ports, see “Ethernet Alarm Settings” section on page 5-11.
