To configure the Ping-No-Answer Alarm, you must access command mode using a
password that permits Administrator Level commands. The Ping-No-Answer alarm
configuration menu offers the following parameters:
• TriggerEnable: Enables/Disables the trigger for this alarm. When Disabled, this
alarm will be suppressed. (Default = On.)

• ResendDelay: Determines how long the TSM/RSM will wait to resend an email
message generated by this alarm, when the initial attempt to send the notification
was unsuccessful. (Default = 60 Minutes.)
• NotifyUponClear: When this item is enabled, the TSM/RSM will send additional
notification when the situation that caused the alarm has been corrected. For
example, when Notify Upon Clear is enabled, the TSM/RSM will send initial
notification when it detects that a Ping command has failed, and then send a
second notification when it determines that the IP address is again responding to
the Ping command. (Default = On.)
