Event Setup
Event Types can be divided into two basic groups: System Events and Port Events. System Events are
related to the overall function of the switch, whereas Port Events are related to the activity of a specific port.
The TN-5500 supports two relay outputs. You can configure which relay output is related to which events. This
helps administrators identify the importance of the different events.
System Events Warning Relay output is triggered when…
Power Transition (OnOff) TN-5500 is powered on.
Power Transition (OffOn) TN-5500 is powered down.
Turbo Ring Break Turbo Ring is broken.
Port Events Warning e-mail is sent when…
Link-ON The port is connected to another device.
Link-OFF The port is disconnected (e.g., the cable is pulled out, or the
opposing device shuts down).
Traffic-Overload The port’s traffic surpasses the Traffic-Threshold for that port
(provided this item is Enabled).
Traffic-Threshold (%) Enter a nonzero number if the port’s Traffic-Overload item is
Enabled.
Traffic-Duration (sec.) A Traffic-Overload warning is sent every Traffic-Duration seconds if
the average Traffic-Threshold is surpassed during that time period.
NOTE The Traffic-Overload, Traffic-Threshold (%), and Traffic-Duration (sec) Port Event items are related. If you
Enable the Traffic-Overload event, then be sure to enter a nonzero Traffic-
T
hreshold percentage, as well as a
Traffic-Duration between 1 and 300 seconds.
