Alarm Configuration
7.7. Buffer Threshold Alarm
The Buffer Threshold Alarm can provide notification when the amount of data stored
in the buffer for a given serial port exceeds the Buffer Threshold value that has been
defined for that port as described in Section 5.8.2. When the amount of data in the
buffer for a given serial port exceeds the user-defined Buffer Threshold value, the
TSM/RSM can provide notification via Email, Syslog Message or SNMP Trap.

To configure the Buffer Threshold Alarm, access the TSM/RSM command mode using
a password that permits Administrator Level commands and then set the Port Mode for
the desired Serial Port to Buffer Mode and define the Buffer Threshold value for the port
as described in Section 5.8.2. The Buffer Threshold 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.)
