Alarm severity is changed/assigned using a menu. To view this menu, right-click the alarm you want
to change in its alarm profile column. Seven alarm severity levels appear:
• CR: Critical alarm
• MJ: Major alarm
• MN: Minor alarm
• NR: Not reported
• NA: Not alarmed
• TR: Transparent alarm
• UN: Unset alarm
Transparent and unset alarms are associated only with alarm profiles and therefore do not appear
when you view alarms, history, or conditions.
In addition to the alarm profile tabs, the Alarming tab displays two check boxes at the bottom of the
screen: Hide default values and Hide identical rows. The Hide default values check box will be
blank if the severity for that alarm is the same as the default. The Hide identical rows check box
allows you to hide rows that contain the same severity in each profile.
Procedure: Create an Alarm Profile
Step 1 Display the CTC network view.
Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Alarming tabs.
Step 3 Right-click anywhere in the Default column to display the Profile Editing menu.
Step 4 Choose Clone from the menu.
Step 5 In the Clone Profile Default dialog box, enter a name in New Profile Name.
Profile names must be unique. If you try to import or name a profile that has the same
name as another profile, CTC attempts to find an alternate name by adding a suffix.
Step 6 Click OK.
The new profile (named in Step 5) is created. It is identical to the default profile and is
added as a new column on the far right-hand side.
Step 7 Modify (customize) the alarm profile:
(a) In the new alarm profile column, click in a row that contains the alarm severity you
want to change.
