13.1 View Alarms
There are several ways to view alarms in the Net Event Manager.
• Alarms are displayed when Nform is started before you log on.
• Once you are logged on as either Administrator or Power User, there are two ways to view alarms:
• Click on the Navigate tab, then select OpenComms Nform Alarm Logging at the top of
the navigation tree (this reveals all alarms from all devices in the navigation tree).
or
• Click on the Navigate tab, then select Event History for any device in the navigation tree
(this reveals only the alarms received from the associated device).
Alarms appear in the right side of the window, as shown in this example.
