Chapter 7: System Alarms
Monitor Alarms
Alarms are brief text messages that appear on your workstation when the Tenor CMS unit encounters a prob-
lem, such as a failed interface, disconnected call, etc. You can reach the Alarm Manager via Command Line
Interface (CLI) alarm monitoring system.
How to Read Alarms
The Alarm Manager reports alarms according to criteria such as the alarm’s severity level, line number the
alarm occurred on, channel number, etc. There are two alarm types displayed: Active Alarms and Alarm His-
tory. An Active Alarm list displays all the alarms still active on the system; these alarms have not been cleared
or deleted. An Alarm History is a list of the last 100 alarms stored in the system since the last time you per-
formed a delete operation.
Definitions for all generated alarm fields appear in Table 7-1.
