Managing alarms
Whenever system alarms are outstanding, a yellow warning triangle is displayed on the
navigation bar. The warning triangle is visible from all web pages. Click the warning
triangle (or menu option Home) to return to the System Summary page and view the
alarms. If the warning triangle disappears when it is clicked, it indicates that the
outstanding alarms have been cleared. A change of state in most alarms generates an
SNMP trap or an SMTP email alert.
The alarm configuration procedure is described in Task 9: Configuring alarms and
messages on page 6-90.
The example in Figure 187 shows the warning triangle in the navigation bar and the
‘Channel A’ alarm displayed in the System Summary page.
