Viewing/Setting Alarm Masks
Demodulators that are typically being locked and unlocked, such as switched
demodulators/burst controllers, should have the Unlock Alarm masked. The
setting of other alarm masks will depend on usage and whether or not a BUC is
installed.
Alarms masks are viewed and set for the modem in the device view, as shown in
figure 5-18 and figure 5-19.

To mask/unmask alarms for a device, select the device in the left panel tree
view, then select an alarm from the Alarm Mask list in the right panel. Use the
pull-down menu to select either Unmasked or Masked.
The alarm mask settings shown in table 5-2 are for a typical VMS network.
