2. Mask irrelevant alarm conditions to avoid affecting the overall status of the unit. See

following example.

For Example

Note: Channel DL signal refers to the MIMO/SISO DL signal from the BS side towards the

remote units (VAPs).

In the example below “Service 2 RF DL Pwr High” alarm is masked (disabled) – this is the

alarm

for the DL signal (from the BS side)

The left dialog shows the alarm response when Service 2 DL RF Pwr High alarm is enabled

and a fault corresponding to that alarm is detected. (MIMO 2 DL RF Power exceeds the

defined range). The Overall Status will be RED indicating a fault.

The right side dialog shows the alarm response when Channel 2 DL RF Pwr High alarm is

masked (disabled). The Service 2 DL RF Pwr High LED will appear RED; but, the Overall

Status will be GREEN – showing NO Fault.
