Several parameters for the given alarm will provide control information as to how the alarm
instance will be handled subsequence to the status and stats update. These parameters control the
overall alarm handling, display to the console session, the sending of alarm event trap messages
to a network manager and the logging of the given alarm instance.
An alarm must be “enabled” and have a severity level of Critical, Major, Minor or Informational
associated with the given alarm before any subsequent processing takes place. Therefore if the
given alarm is not “enabled” or has a severity level of “off” no further alarm processing will take
place. These parameters can be found in the following two examples:
Alarm [alarm_name] Enable = NO
Alarm [alarm_name] SEverity = MAJOR
NOTE: If the given alarm is not “ENABLED”, then no further processing of the alarm takes
place. The RFA II receiver will NOT log or give any indication of a problem. The only
indication will be through the alarm status of any problems.
If the alarm “enable” is yes and the associated severity is other than “off”, then the given alarm is
handled according to the alarm control parameters as shown in the example below:
Alarm [alarm_name] COnsole Enable = YES
Alarm [alarm_name] TrapMsg Enable = YES
Alarm [alarm_name] Log Set = YES
Alarm [alarm_name] Log Clear = YES
The given alarm is displayed on the console session if enable is “yes”. The date/time is recorded
for the instance and then may be displayed again on the console session depending on the console
interval parameter as shown in the example:
Alarm [alarm_name] COnsole Interval = 0
NOTE: An interval of zero means that the alarm instance will be displayed one time. If other
than zero, the alarm instance will be displayed after the number of seconds given in the interval
parameter,
