2. In the Owner text box, enter some appropriate text designation for this alarm,
if desired; you may want to use the network manager’s name or phone
number, or the IP or MAC address of the management workstation, to identify
the creator of the alarm. Since any workstation can access and change the
alarms you are setting in your SmartSwitch 2000, some owner identification
can prevent alarms from being altered or deleted accidentally. The default
value provided is SPEL — <IP address> <(hostname)> <date> <time>, where
<IP address> and <(hostname)> refer to the workstation that created the
alarm and <date> and <time> reflect the date and time of the alarm’s creation.
3. If you are creating a new alarm, use the Index field to assign a unique,
currently unused index number to identify the alarm. Clicking on the Index
button will automatically assign the lowest available number; you can also
click directly in the text box and assign any value you want between 1 and
1,999 and 4,000 and 9,999 (indices 2000 to 3999 are reserved and
unavailable).
NOTE
In accordance with Year 2000 compliance requirements, SPECTRUM Element Manager
now displays and allows you to set all dates with four-digit year values.
