Mapping DCE Manager Alarms and Events within OpenView
Devices have alarm and event categories that differ from those used by
OpenView. Thus, the DCE Manager provides its own mapping as described in
Table 5-3 for some of the most common alarm and events.

" Procedure
To change the default mapping of states to the colors (used in the OpenView
Event Browser), use the following general steps:
1. Start OpenView.
2. Click on the Options menu and select Event Configuration.
3. Set the options as described in the OpenView user documentation.
4. Exit and restart OpenView to have the new options take effect.
The DCE Manager Device Display
Help → On Legend menu lists the meaning of
the various status colors.
NOTE:
Alarms change the color of a device symbol, while events do not. The alarms
and events specified in the previous table may not correspond to older
Paradyne Model 3xxx and AAC device families.
